A top-down take on the established formula, Grand Theft Auto Advance distills the series' open-world chaos onto the Game Boy Advance. Its isometric perspective forces a unique type of strategic driving and shooting, demanding players master tight cornering and quick target acquisition. Though limited by the hardware, the game offers a surprisingly dense Liberty City to explore, filled with emergent moments and the distinct criminal sandbox gameplay that fans expect.

About Grand Theft Auto Advance

Details
Grand Theft Auto Advance is a handheld console game developed by Digital Eclipse, published by Rockstar Games, and released on October 26, 2004 for the Game Boy Advance. It is the only Grand Theft Auto game to not be developed by a Rockstar studio (formerly DMA Design). The game is played from a top-down perspective; this view angle was seen on the first two games in the series, Grand Theft Auto and Grand Theft Auto 2, but vehicle-based side-missions (such as "Vigilante" and "Paramedic"), the heads-up display and a large majority of the weapons, first introduced in the three-dimensional counterparts, have also been included. Unlike previous top-down Grand Theft Auto games, vehicles can now flip over. It is the first game from the Grand Theft Auto series which got a 16+ rating from PEGI and an M rating (recommended for mature audiences though any age is still allowed access) from the Australian Classification Board. The game was released on the same day as the North American release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
