Some changes were necessary to get all the data on the disk, but the Teen-rating (instead of the Mature-rating of the PC-version) may also have been a reason to cut some of these these features. The ports are nearly identical, but some features were left out in some ports, such as the subway, Mad Island, minor changes in missions and some foul language. Later, the game was ported to the PlayStation, Dreamcast and Game Boy Color. The game is developed by DMA Design and released for PC by Rockstar Games on 30 September 1999, nearly two years after it's predecessor. With a new game engine, it is the first and only GTA of the GTA2 era, although the concept is similar to that of the previous instalment, Grand Theft Auto. Grand Theft Auto 2 is the second instalment of the Grand Theft Auto series (not including the expansion pack GTA: London 1969).
