Grand Theft Auto 2 Released for Free

Posted by Zonk on from the hos-hos-hos dept.

Darragh_IRL writes "In true Christmas spirit, Rockstar Games has released the PC version of GTA2 for free on their website." From the page: "GTA2 expanded on the top-down, open-ended crime world gameplay formula with a host of new features including the advent of multiple rival gangs - seven, to be exact, including the Yakuza, Scientists, Looneys, Rednecks, Zaibatsu, the Russian Mob and Hare Krishnas. Earn your respect with each gang. Reap the benefits with all manner of shady work-for-hire gigs contracted your way. And climb your way to the top of the criminal pile."

    When R* released GTA1 as free download, I made up a temporary Hotmail account for registration, using some dumb combination of letters and numbers, like 'ju5t1ntth3gam3'. I didn't trust the wording on the download page. Well, two days later I had 15 fresh spams.

    Note the fine print on the page: "NOTE: The information you provide on this form may be collected even if you are not eligible to download the game"

    It may be a Christmas gift, but there could be tinsel attached.
