Grand Theft Auto 2 Demo

GTA2 is set in a massive, futuristic city, under siege by seven rival gangs who each control different zones within the metropolis. That's when your character, Claude Speed, is freed from prison and awakened from cryonic sleep with a bad case of amnesia. Your mission is clear, do whatever it takes to become "King of the City" by any means necessary. You can work with any one of the seven rival gangs or play all the gangs off of each other and clean up what's left. Either way each gang's reaction to you will be based on your past dealings with them and your dealings with their enemies. Thanks to your Respect 'O' Meter you can easily tell what your standing is.

The demo features nefarious criminal activity from the Zaibatsu Corporation, purveyors of the new wonder leisure activity, Zoom Zoom, the crazy Loonies, a gang of nutters who have taken over the asylum, and the coolest street gang this side of Tokyo, the Yakuza. The Zaibatsu wear black, and run things in town, leaving other gangs to fight for the scraps. The Yakuza wear blue, drive great cars, and have the best equipment. The Loonies wear surgical green, and are anarchic hedonists who hate anyone that tries to organise things or suppress their massive consumption of recreational substances.

Each gang has it's own particular interests, aims, and above all, hatreds. These are too complex to go into in any detail here. Suffice to say, the easiest way to get respect from these psychos is to kill their worst enemies. None of the missions in the demo require you to have earned much respect, as they are all missions designed to test your loyalty and competency. However, if a gang particularly dislikes, you'll find visiting their part of town a reasonably hair raising experience.

To earn the respect of the Loonies, cause some mahem in the Yakuza part of town. To earn the respect of the Zaibatsu go and abuse some Loonies. To earn the respect of The Yakuza teach the Zaibatsu Corporation some really dirty business practices.
