welcome to GTA joy.com. Why did I build this website? Well you may be thinking it was just because I am trying to sell GTA products but that's not completely true. Actually I am a huge fan of this game and I think it is the best video game I have ever played. Prior to this game I thought Halo three was the best game ever tried, but even that game doesn't live up to grand theft auto. A couple years ago I played grand theft auto three and was very impressed but I didn't get hooked. But when I reluctantly purchased GTA4 from the videogame store because everybody was raving about it, I was hooked.

The thing I liked the most about this game is the complete freedom you have within it. These types of video games are referred to as sandbox games. From my understanding the term sandbox implies that you have complete freedom to do anything you like. If you choose to go on missions you can do so but you can also progress in the game just by interacting within the world.

Another thing I really like about this videogame is the fact that it is modeled after a real environment. That really environment of course is New York City and its surrounding areas. The detail is amazing. I myself have been to New York about two or three times so I can a identify many of the areas. As well I can learn about all the areas I have never been to around New York City. So I would argue that there is a very strong educational element to this game. Next I might go to New York City I will find it particularly interesting as I have played this game extensively.

There was another game by Sega called Yakuza. This videogame modeled some famous parts of Tokyo and even Osaka. This game is not quite as sandbox game like grand theft auto but it was also videogame I was particularly interested in as I have lived in Tokyo for a number of years.

Could you imagine that one day perhaps the entire Earth may be modeled within a virtual environment where we can play games like grand theft auto. Perhaps in 10 to 20 years from now this will become a reality.

Getting back to grand theft auto, another very interesting idea about the game is that it is actually like four games in one. It's a first person shooter, a driving game, a flight simulator as you can fly helicopters, and also a boating simulator as you can drive motor boats and other small watercraft. So no matter what genre in video games you like this is a must buy. In today's videogame market there is nothing that even comes close.
