Grand Theft Auto
In Grand Theft Auto, you're a goon on the lam, pulling jobs such as bombing or drug runs as you avoid the police either on foot or by hijacking any car in sight. GTA's violent nature, complete with abundant cursing, is sociopathically chic... but the game's just not any fun.

The cities are mind-numbing mazes that require you to refer to a paper map included with the game (lame!). In addition, tall buildings block your vision in the overhead view, and your goon is so poorly rendered that you can't tell what direction he's facing. On top of that, he's nearly as difficult to control as the cars-almost all of the dozen or so available are way too sensitive. The game's one redeeming quality is its sound, which offers music tracks from the radio of each car you commandeer. GTA's a cool concept, but it should serve 15 to 20 for wanton mishandling of gaming potential.
