Video Gaming Trends: Grand Theft Auto

One of the biggest hits in the video gaming world is GTA or Grand Theft Auto. The phenomenal video game was created by Mike Dailly and David Jones and was published by Rockstar games.


GTA is a role playing game that gives a large amount of freedom to the players. The first release was in 1997 and was available for the PC, PS1 and the Game Boy. The newest version is Grand Theft Auto Five which offers better and more innovative features. The game is available for both the PS3 and the Xbox.

Most settings in the game are based on American cities such as San Andreas, Vice City and Liberty City. The point of the game is for the player to choose and accomplish missions and sometimes, engage in sideline activities that all encompass action, adventure, shooting, driving, and racing. Your role in the game is a criminal of your own choosing and you have to guide and help him rise in the underground criminal ranks. To do so, you must complete missions set by drug lords and kingpins. Most of the mission will be about assassinations and other violent crimes. Some may also involve street racing, firefighting, and even taxi driving. On the recent versions of the game, criminals or the characters have a more detailed back story or history that will serve as a motivation of the player to rank up.

The best part of the game is its insane and realistic details. There are gangsters on the sideline that serve no role in the game at all but are put there to make the game more realistic and detailed. There are also cracked roads, police searchlights, foreclosure notices and random tourists on the side. The world in GTA is more alive than ever.

Also, the characters have the best back story you’ll ever know and the plot twist is extraordinary. You get the chance to do anything you want in the world making you feel more part of the system. The missions you are assigned to do are also very dramatic and you have the freedom to choose multiple ways on how to do them.

The game also provides additional features such as combat, customization of cars and weapons, customization of your character and you can even buy and invest in properties with your money. GTA is the most thrilling, enjoyable and most unexpected ride you’ll ever find in video games.
