Grand Theft Auto Advance for GBA

Grand Theft Auto is a handheld console game developed by Digital Eclipse, published by Rockstar Games,released on October 25, 2004 for the Game Boy Advance.The game is set in Liberty City, in 2000 the fictional GTA city that appeared most prominently, in Grand Theft Auto III. Indeed the earliest announcement of this game was that it would be a port of GTA III, but at some point in development (it is unclear exactly when this occurred) this idea was rejected, probably due to technical limitations and the time needed to reconstruct the previous game`s missions in the new two-dimensional environment.The game was actually released as a prequel to GTA III, taking place one year prior to the events in GTA III. As it takes place in GTA III`s Liberty City, familiar landmarks re-appear and the overall street layout is the same. However the locations of familiar secrets such as Rampages, hidden packages and jump ramps have all been changed, so players familiar with the city`s corners and alleyways in GTA III will have to explore them afresh in GTA Advance. The city`s three islands have been noticeably changed in its conversion and elements impossible to interpret to a top-view perspective, so there are no longer any sloped surfaces, and the tunnels and train system have been removed.
