    Thanks. I will be getting this. Here is 1 rule I don't understand.

    PLEASE NOTE that while this game may be downloaded for free by all who register by filling out the form on this page, it is NOT freeware and may not be mirrored or duplicated by any third parties without express written consent from Rockstar Games.
    How is it not freeware? Wouldn't they like you sharing it so you can save them bandwith?

    I can't get it to d/l either.

    It is not 'freeware' [as such] because, it cannot be re-uploaded to other servers, or packaged with other software on CDROMs. Rockstar still owns all rights of Ownership and distribution, they are just providing a copy to you, free of charge

    Ahh...I see. So it doesn't count as warez or piracy, does it?

    That's pretty neat.

    On this site it is not Warez since the copywrite holder is distributing it free of charge.

    I am currently downloading it right now.

    i think i'll wait till i'm back at university to get this. a heavily-sought-after 320MB download over 56k strikes me as too much.

    Ok, so its downloading. Not very fast (40kbps), but downloading nonetheless.

    Funnily enough, I probably derived more fun from GTA2 than GTA3 and VC...although none of them can compete with the visceral thrills I received from the original. The 6 minute demo of GTA was probably the best demo in the world of anything ever, ever.
    Touch my twat.

    No can do. This would fall under the warez rule if it were shared on a P2P network

    Yeah, it is free, but *they* have to be the ones giving it to you.

    An optomized version of GTA2? Outstanding. Does it still have multiplayer? I just love kicking ass in that game. In my old computer programming class, we used to have LAN games of GTA2 playing every friday. I memorized where all the powerups were. I remember it got lame when someone would box himself up on the other side of a bridge, and would put a car in the way. He would camp with the rocket launcher too.
    The bridge was the only way to get to him. Any ideas how to kill the guy?
