Grand Theft Auto is made up of six levels divided between three main cities: each city is based on a real-life city in the United States, with an alternative name: Liberty City (New York); Vice City (Miami); and San Andreas (San Francisco), by completing a level by unlocking the next in the chain. Players start a game by choosing one character out of eight, four in the PlayStation version, and naming them, although the choice is purely aesthetic and does not affect the game in general. At each level, the player's ultimate goal is to reach a target number of points, starting at $ 1,000,000, but becoming higher in later levels, [6] and then reaching the level "goal" to complete the stage. The player is free to do whatever he wants, [7] but he has limited lives doing so. Points can be earned for anything like causing death and destruction amidst city traffic, completing special challenges, or stealing and selling cars for profit. However, the most typical means of achieving your goal is to perform tasks for the local crime syndicate at the level. Jobs can be started by visiting and tapping a ringing phone booth, and the set of jobs at each level on offer is unique.
