The concept is quite simple: become a hired gun for any number of the city's organized crime families and carry out their orders no questions asked. But dig a bit deeper and you'll find disappointment. Surely one of the most original action titles to hit a console since the 16-bit days, Grand Theft Auto 2 looks on the surface to be a bona fide joyride.

My crew has been trying to hook me up into the joys of Grand Theft Auto for the last couple of years, but being the stubborn bastard that I am, I haven't really latched onto it yet. Damn it! This game could have been so much better than it actually turned out to be.
