GTA II is still my favourite GTA. 2. My first time playing anything in the GTA series was the GameBoy Color version of GTA 2. I borrowed it from a friend for a week or two, and enjoyed it quite a lot. My parents were pretty against me playing any kind of “violent” video games. So secretly playing GTA 2 on the GBC was kind of exciting due to that as well. Even though the “violence” in GTA 2 on GBC is of course very tame in terms of any kind of graphic realism or anything. A few years later one of my friends was playing GTA III on the PS2 at his home. I also had a PS2, but there was no chance of my parents letting me play that, and I didn’t even play it at his house either. Later still, Rockstar was giving away GTA 2 for PC for free on their website. So I played GTA 2 a little bit on PC too, after GTA III (and probably Vice City) was already out. It took many years before I finally had a chance to play GTA III, GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas. My first time playing GTA III and GTA Vice City was when I was an adult with an iPhone and they sold iOS ports of those games in the App Store. I ended up completing GTA III and GTA Vice City on the iPhone and have played a bit of GTA San Andreas on the iPhone as well, including completing the famous train mission. 3. Played the first "3" on the first PlayStation. Completely different game from where it went since GTA 3. And while Vice City will always be my favorite, looking back, I think the originals were better and I had more fun. But maybe I was just younger ... 4. Oh yes! I remember playing that at a friend's house when I was 5 years old and having my little mind blown. I couldn't believe you could just take any car and go anywhere you wanted. I later got my hands on a copy of GTA2 and played that a lot, behind my parents' back of course 5. GTA II is still fun for me, I try it about every third year for a week. 6. I played a lot of GTA1 and a bit of 2 when it came out. I think we used to play it at LAN parties my friends and I had as well. For me that’s where it stopped and I never clicked with GTA3 and onwards! 7. I absolutely adored the first 2 games, especially GTA2. "Damnation! No donation, nooo salvation!" 8. GTA2 also had a cool cinematic intro: https://youtu.be/9Z5O29rLRnw 9. I need GTA II on modern consoles. I've begged Rockstar for years but I'm just a single person in their contact form. 10. Opened the game, picked a car and immediately went over the Hare Krishnas. Fucking classic, I remember playing this game at school somehow, then played GTA2 until my eyes bled, amazing games. </comments_about_topic> Write a concise, engaging paragraph (3-5 sentences) summarizing the key points and perspectives in these comments about the topic.
