Characters
In Grand Theft Auto, players are able to select one of 8 characters to play as in-game. This is the only game in the series which features this ability (aside from the switching in

Player Selection
Players are able to choose from the following characters on all formats of the game:

Give It A Name
Gamers are given the ability to name their character in Grand Theft Auto, should they desire. This only really effects the high score boards in-game, although entering certain words or character combinations for a name can be used to unlock
cheat modes in the game.
