Get Ready...:
From the Title Screen, select options to call up five new options.
Options:
Use the Effects and and Music options to change the volume balance of sound effects and music during play. Music Mode
allows you to choose between Radio (the radio stations automatically change when you change cars) and Constant (the
CD plays from the first track straight through to the last). Use Text to change the speed of the text display during play.
Pick A Person:
Before you get down to action, choose to play the part of one of four funky fellas, - it's the only way to keep track of your
felonious achievements (well, note your score)
How To Play:
Your life of crime begins on foot in Liberty City, in an area called South Park. For your convenience, a clean car is
provided. There's more to GTA life than stealing cars, driving over innocent pedestrians, shooting cops and evading the
long arm of the law. But not much more... Carry out jobs for The Mob to speed your raise from lowly junior joyrider to a
member of one of the largest, most powerful family in the city. (Look out for suspicious vehicles and telephones: some
trigger secret jobs - and sometimes those are the only way to escape a city). Do you have the balls to go all the way?
City Life:
Crawling with a mix of innocent pedestrians and criminal filth, GTA's fully functional cities also feature police and
ambulance services. Note that paramedics attempt to attend to all pedestrian injuries, and the cops pay attention to scum
like you.
Fortunately, you have a portable Police Radio Scanner to listen in on the police reports regarding your crimes.
(Incidentally, all vehicles receive one or more of the local radio stations).
Death Or Glory:
When you die you are taken to the nearest hospital, you lose all your weapons and retain your Bonus Multiplier; however,
when you are arrested, you are taken to the nearest Police Station and allowed back on the streets with your wanted level
reset to zero... in exchange for all your weapons and half your Bonus Multiplier (the score you can keep).
Take Control!
The functions of the controller buttons can be reconfigured using the controls option on the Title Screen.
Default Controls
Left Directional button: Turn Left
Right Directional button: Turn Right
"X": Forwards
"TRIANGLE": Backwards
"SQUARE": Enter/Exit
"CIRCLE": Attack
Select button: Pager/Last Message
Start button: Pause

R2: Special
NOTE THERE ARE 4 OTHER CONFIGURATIONS AVAILABLE
Note that the Brake button becomes a Jump button (for leaping vehicles, for example) when you are on foot. Plus! The
Special button is called so because it's responsible for more than one function depending on the context. When in control
of almost all vehicles, push the Special button to sound the horn. When in a tank, press and hold the special button then
press the left or right directional button to rotate the turret.
Note: When running around the streets you can jump or slide over cars or car bonnets by pressing "Brake" and "Forward"
at the same time.
A Typical Scene:
You nefarious behavior is brought to your screen courtesy of the DMA News chopper flying high above the city. Here's
what you can expect to see during play...

crate and revile its contents.
