Joguei mas não zerei e nem nada do tipo, eu era muito criança pra lembrar
GTA London has been outdone by two games since, The Italian Job and The Getaway - but these are both 3D adventures so I guess it doesn't really count.
The novelty of it, however, pushes it above GTA1 immensely for me because DMA's love of classic Brit crime capers is on full display here. The characters and setting are borderline Guy Ritchie and the whole Mod aesthetic the box art has is great. This was released during the waning years of Cool Britannia and by God I wish it would come back.
Plus; pulling off an expansion pack on the PS1? Very cool.

This was a big deal for us limeys at the tail end of the 1990s, yes it was just a reskin but given that's what most expansions were in those days - we knew no better.
Unfortunately the game is markedly less polished than the original GTA and never held any sway that would make me wish to return to it.

Not much to say on this one, it is basically just a pallette swap for GTA 1. I think London is pretty pleasing here at least, wish GTA would go outside of the states again.
This game is literally what it says in the tin. It's a mission pack for the first Grand Theft Auto and that means it's pretty much just more GTA, this time however, it's british.
For what it is, I think the parody of the brits is funnier than that of the 'muricans, and this being the one GTA game based on an actual place instead of a parody of said place it's funnier seeing how late 60's Britain is as gray, how the characters you play as all nearly look like offbrand The Beatles and everyone talks to you in a posh accent. I also like that the missions this time around don't revolve around racking up X amount of money/points and you just instead have to do them all to advance, the missions themselves are better and London is generally a nicer place to drive than the confusing maps of the original.
Don't give it too much credit though, this is still the first GTA after all. Fail a couple of missions and the run is over.
