Living in the unassuming city of Anywhere, Claude takes on missions from the variety of gangs that live in the area. There's a short video that plays before the game, introducing the main character Claude. Unlike most of the recent Grand Theft Auto games, Grand Theft Auto 2 is relatively light on storytelling.
Like every other game in the Grand Theft Auto franchise, Grand Theft Auto 2 provides players with an unrestricted and addictive look into the life of organized crime. If you've only ever played the more modern Grand Theft Auto titles, Grand Theft Auto 2 might seem a bit underwhelming, but beneath the older graphics and controversy there are tons of opportunities for excitement. Grand Theft Auto 2 attempts to amp up the insanity and action by adding in more missions, new game features, and a more vibrant setting. The original Grand Theft Auto was a controversial yet slightly clunky action game, but one that has quickly become a legendary title in video game history.
Grand Theft Auto 2 invites players into a hectic and violent urban life, unleashing them on the streets to commit crimes and appease the various gangs that inhabit the city.
