Grand Theft Auto (video game)
Grand Theft Auto is an action-adventure video game developed by DMA Design and published by BMG Interactive. It was first released in Europe and North America in October 1997 for MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows. It was later re-released on 12 December 1997 in Europe and 30 June 1998 in North America for the PlayStation. It is the first instalment of the "Grand Theft Auto" series, to be followed by 1999's "Grand Theft Auto 2". The series, which has led to five main entries and several special edition games over 16 years, has sold more than 150 million units as of September 2013. The story follows a group of criminals in three fictionalised versions of US cities as they perform bank robberies, assassinations, and other illegal activities for their respective crime syndicates.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
"Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars" is an action-adventure game set in an open world environment. It has a different presentation from previous games in the series, by partially resembling the first "Grand Theft Auto" titles. Instead of a ground-level view behind the protagonist or a top-down perspective, "Chinatown Wars" uses a fully rotatable camera angled down at the action. "Chinatown Wars" also uses cel-shaded polygons with black outlines to produce a comic book-like aesthetic — a first for the series. The title takes place in the "Grand Theft Auto IV" rendition of Liberty City, with the exception of Alderney.
