Much of the dialogue sounds like it was designed by pinning Eastenders transcripts on a dart-board, then going down to the pub to try and remember what they were. you get the idea.īeyond that, the only real difference from the original is the inclusion of words like "ponce" and "tasty" and "leave it aaaht", though not usually in correct sentences. The big bad criminals in charge of London 1969 are the Crisp Twins, which is a reference to the Krays but not exactly a joke, there's a car called the Crapi, another called the James Bomb. Reset-wait, sorry, that's the option menu. This being before Lazlow showed up to make Chatterbox FM a thing of wonder and beauty worth parking a stolen car for, most of them are "clever" names that more than deserve their quotation marks.
GTA: London was almost exactly the same game, with slightly different 'jokes'. If this meant blowing up half the city to deliver a motorbike, so be it. Instead of screaming at the screen as Niko Bellic shuffles with $30,000 in his pocket but no compulsion to do anything but goon for assholes he despises, you were simply dropped in the middle of the world with the job of hitting a certain number of points to progress. Without wanting to diminish the achievement of creating believably functional cities back in the late 90s, they were essentially arcade games, complete with points, high score tables, and much more freedom. The early GTA games were a far cry (not that one) from the open-world, story based games out now.
Somewhat unusually, it's also one of the few expansion packs to get its own expansion pack-London, 1961-which was released as freeware and would be the earliest point in the GTA timeline if the series had even the slightest interest in having such a thing back then. GTA: London is the only game in the series to be set in a real place, though not to the extent that you should use it to find your way around or anything, and was an expansion pack for the original GTA.
