Grand Theft Auto 2 is the direct sequel to the critically acclaimed Grand Theft Auto, and is the only entry of the series to appear on a Sega platform - the Sega Dreamcast.
It follows a criminal named Claude Speed walking the streets of "Anywhere, USA", doing missions for various gangs within three maps in order to earn respect. Like the prequel, the game allows you to hijack any car on the map and kill anyone who gets in your way. It was seen to be as controversial as the previous titles as a result.
The original PC version of the game allows the user to choose whether to play the game at noon or dusk (later GTA games would feature an in-game clock which changes the scenery as time goes on), but the Dreamcast version only lets you play at dusk.
The PC version of Grand Theft Auto 2 was re-released under a freeware license in 2004.
