Shooters, racing games, simulations and action games are all rolled into one and tell bizarre stories in a lively game world. In terms of gaming, the 'GTA' series is somewhat difficult to classify because the games blend different genres. It parodies how the American Dream can lead to excesses in a country with so many people obsessed with guns and in their belief in God or aliens. In terms of content, the games are a satirical mirror of US society, with all its clichés and madness. According to Rockstar Games, the five 'GTA' titles have been sold around 410 million copies to date, with the last part of the series, 'GTA V' alone having sold 190 million. With each new release, 'Grand Theft Auto' has established new standards for video games.
But those who know the game, understand the hype.
