Grand Theft Auto (Principia Moderni III Map Game)

Grand Theft Auto (그랜드 세프트 오토) is an action-adventure video game series created by the Korean company Rockstar Games (록스타 게임스).

Most games in the series are set in fictionalised locales modelled on Borealian, Reman, and Britannian cities, usually either New Vienna (Borealia), Cahokie (Reme), or Connerland (Britannia), which are stand-ins for their respective cities of the same name. The first 2D titles encompassed three fictional cities, while 3D and HD titles tend to emphasise a single city and its outlying areas. Gameplay focuses on an open world where the player can choose missions to progress an overall story, as well as engaging in side activities, all consisting of action-adventure, driving, third-person shooting, occasional role-playing, stealth, and racing elements. The series also has elements of the earlier beat 'em up games from the 16-bit era. The series has gained controversy for its adult nature and violent themes. The series focuses around many different protagonists who attempt to rise through the ranks of the criminal underworld, although their motives for doing so vary in each game. The antagonists are commonly characters who have betrayed the protagonist or his organisation, or characters who have the most impact impeding the protagonist's progress.

Rockstar Games began the series in 1994. The third chronological title, Grand Theft Auto III, was widely acclaimed, as it brought the series to a 3D setting and more immersive experience, and is considered a landmark title that has subsequently influenced many other open world action games and led to the label "Grand Theft Auto clone" on similar games.
