| − | ==History== |
||
| − | ===From DMA to Rockstar North=== |
||
| − | Whereas GTA2 had been an incremental improvement on the original, keeping the top-down 2D perspective and adding a few new features (namely a somewhat complicated system of forging alliances and rivalries with numerous competing gangs), In 2001, [[DMA]] was working on ''[[Grand Theft Auto III]]'', bringing the series into full 3D. It became the [[PlayStation 2]]'s biggest system seller in both the U.S. and Europe; [[Sony]], realising what a good thing they had, paid Rockstar to keep it a PS2 exclusive, while Rockstar bought [[DMA]] outright, renaming the company "Rockstar North" in early 2002. That same year saw the release of a PC version of GTA3, as well as ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]'' for the PS2, which retained the engine and core gameplay of GTA3 while adding a number of refinements (plus a roster of top Hollywood voice talent). In 2003, the company released a PC port of ''Vice City'', as well as a two-pack of both GTA3 and ''Vice City'' for [[Microsoft]]'s [[Xbox]] console (ported by [[Rockstar Vienna]]). |
||
| + | == Gameplay == |
||
| − | ''[[Manhunt (video game)|Manhunt]]'', was released for the PS2 in 2003. The game is a violent stealth adventure in which a apparently executed death-row inmate finds himself the star of a ''[[The Running Man|Running Man]]''-esque [[game show]], fleeing expert killers in a struggle for survival. Rockstar North released ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'' for the PS2 in [[October 26]], [[2004]], and is currently working on an as-yet-untitled GTA sequel for "next-generation" consoles (most likely the ''[[PlayStation 3]]''). A Grand Theft Auto title for the [[PlayStation Portable]] has been confirmed, to be developed by Rockstar Leeds, under Rockstar North's supervision. |

Training in freeplay can be done both alone and with another player competitively, however this has no effect on the character's stats. |
