 'Grand Theft Auto' returns with a vengeance - Games - MSNBC.com
Like 2002's "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" which set its tale of drugs and decadence among the the scenes and sounds of 1980s Miami, "San Andreas" is heavily indebted to another crime-ridden subculture: this time, the fl and Latino gangs of 1990s California.
Rockstar Games, the creators of the "Grand Theft Auto" series, are masters in melding local color with a story arc of power, loyalty and gobs of ruthless violence.
But no matter how good the game play, "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" is at its core a violent and mean-spirited game that rewards homicide, embraces racial and sexual stereotypes and uses real-life child-on-child violence as inspiration.

 HeiDeas: Grand theft bovine animal?
But that would be a bit weird, since I'm (reasonably) confident that 'grand theft auto' is (a) a relatively recent coinage and (b) is probably US legalese, owing nothing to idiomatic holdovers from the British system.
I decided to Google "Grand Theft" and came up with "Grand Theft America," which links one to a nice audiovisual on the theft of the Presidency by Bush in Florida, the first time around.
It seems that "grand theft firearm" is a real (and common) offence in at least some jurisdictions; "grand theft horse" is mostly speculation about a prequel to Grand Theft Auto, and "grand theft bovine" is a deliberate misnomer for "grand theft cervid." Go figure.

Five years ago, if you told anyone that Grand Theft Auto would revolutionize gaming and become one of the most influential franchises in the world, hardly anyone would believe you.
After all, GTA was a flawed, but ambitious, overhead 2D title that was more glorified thug action than anything, and was destined to be just another mediocre controversy magnet.
Come take a trip through time, and see how a franchise went from a cult hit to a cultural phenomenon, set the tone for an entire generation, and made open-ended gameplay a buzzword of the early 21st century.

While this "GTA" title is a massive improvement over the previous two, it doesn't just surpass them in terms of graphics and gameplay, it surpasses them by building on the many things that made them great in the first place, and then some.

 IGN: Grand Theft Auto Review
October 26, 2004 - After the unbelievably bad portable renditions of the Grand Theft Auto games released on the Game Boy system a half-decade ago, it's almost heaven to finally play a handheld version that truly portrays what made (and makes) the series such a critical and consumer success.
I mean, Grand Theft Auto literally encourages gamers to carjack any vehicle they can get their grubby mitts on and drive away, sometimes on pedestrian-laden sidewalks where anyone in the way becomes gooified red remains on the concrete.
Many games have tried to one-up the GTA's gory, gritty, and somewhat unnecessary gratuitous violence with their own take, and failed because of one key factor: the violence isn't the main reason why GTA is fun to play.
