I recommend downloading DrSlony's rip from ONE of the mirrors above. It is only missing the intro movie and the music but neither are important to the gameplay or story. There is a longer and better version of the GTA2 live action intro movie on youtube.com . You need 7-zip or WinRAR to uncompress it.

You should only download this version if you really want to hear the music. You have to fill out the form and they email you the link.

There are several mistakes in the manual. The multiplayer section sounds like they are describing GTA1, you can't select a character in GTA2. The error is mentioned on the Xplosiv support site and used to be on the take2games.com support site.

Other GTA2 sites

GTA2.info - Great Polish GTA2 site with a GTA2 theme.

wikigta.org - Grand Theft Auto Wiki - contains item/vehicle location maps for all cities

GTAForums.com - English forum. The modern GTA sections are very popular but the old school forum doesn't get many posts anymore. I am a moderator in the old school section.

Polish and English GTA2 forum - The most active GTA2 forum. The majority of posts are in Polish but there is an English section. Last time I checked, their host has some really annoying popups, so use some ad blockers.
