Welcome to the sprawling, crime-ridden streets of early 3D open-world gaming. In the original Grand Theft Auto, you'll carve out your legend across three distinct cities, each a sandbox of opportunity and danger.

Become a Criminal Mastermind

Each city is a series of escalating challenges, where your ultimate goal is to amass a fortune and a reputation. You'll have a target score to achieve, and a limited number of lives to get there. Every action, every heist, every getaway counts towards your score.

Spend Your Ill-Gotten Gains

The score counter isn't just a measure of your success; it's also your wallet. Invest your earnings wisely in flashy new paint jobs for your rides and other essential upgrades. But be warned: spending your hard-earned cash means a higher score target, a constant push and pull between ambition and survival.

Progress Through the Ranks

Once you've proven your mettle and hit your target score, you'll need to reach a specific destination to cement your victory and unlock the next thrilling chapter of your criminal career. Prepare for a world where freedom comes with a price, and the only limit is your audacity.
