俠盜獵車手

本文介紹的是俠盜獵車手系列。關於本系列的初代遊戲，詳見「俠盜獵車手」；關於《俠盜獵車手III》中的任務，詳見「俠盜獵車手（任務）。

俠盜獵車手系列（英語：Grand Theft Auto，簡稱GTA，也有「偷車大盜」、「橫行霸道」、「俠盜飛車」、「俠盜飛車手」、「俠盜獵車」等非官方譯名）是一個動作冒險遊戲系列，最早由大衛．瓊斯和麥可．戴利創造，之後由丹．浩瑟和山姆．浩瑟兄弟以及遊戲設計師柴克瑞．克拉克（Zachary Clarke）接手製作。本系列主要由位於蘇格蘭愛丁堡的Rockstar North（前身為DMA Design）製作，並由Rockstar Games發行。

本系列的背景皆是設定在模仿美國各城市的虛構地點，除了《俠盜獵車手》一款資料片的背景以倫敦為範本之外。遊戲性主要着重在開放世界的設定上，玩者可自由決定任務進行的時間和方式來推動故事劇情，此外也有許多附加任務可供選擇。遊戲結合了動作冒險、駕駛、第三人稱射擊等要素，也有少量的角色扮演、匿蹤和競速成分。作品主題大多是對美國文化的嘲諷，但遊戲中的成人和暴力內容也引起許多爭議。系列中登場的多位主角都企圖在地下犯罪世界中提升自己威望，但他們的動機在每款遊戲中都不相同。而反派對手通常是背叛主角或組織的人物，或是妨礙主角達成目的的人們。

電子遊戲開發商DMA Design最早在1997年開創了俠盜獵車手系列，目前為止本系列共有11款獨立作品以及4部資料片。其中正傳第三款作品《俠盜獵車手III》獲得了廣泛的好評，並將本系列帶往3D圖像的世界，以及加入了更多令玩者沈浸遊戲世界的內容。《俠盜獵車手III》被認為是系列中的里程碑代表作，同時也影響了後繼的開放世界動作遊戲。俠盜獵車手系列在評價和商業上都獲得成功，全系列總銷量已超過1．5億套。

本系列的中文名稱最先由台灣發行商協和國際多媒體在發行《俠盜獵車手》中使用。

Individual games in the series can be categorized into different "universes", which mostly depend on the storyline and the graphics engine used． The start of a new "universe" is indicated by the graphics used in the game．

2D宇宙

In the 2D Universe there is the original game, the subsequent two expansion packs featuring missions in 1960's London and GTA 2, which featured an improved graphics engine and a different style of gameplay． Whilst originally just called '"Grand Theft Auto", the first game and era have become known as "GTA 1" for clarity．

1． Grand Theft Auto (1997) - Available for the PlayStation, PC and Game Boy Color． Features the cities of Liberty City, San Andreas, and Vice City．
- 2． Grand Theft Auto (Mission Pack #1): London 1969 (1999) - An expansion pack, available for the PlayStation and PC, set in London． London is the only playable city in the series with a real name．
- 3． Grand Theft Auto (Mission Pack #2): London 1961 (1999) - A further expansion to London 1969, available only as a free download for the PC．
4． Grand Theft Auto 2 (1999) - Available for the PlayStation, PC, Dreamcast, and Game Boy Color． The game is set in completely fictional Anywhere City． GTA 2 is the only GTA game to have a digit in the title instead of a Roman Numeral． It is the only game to have a T rating．

3D宇宙

The 3D Universe featured the first blockbuster GTA title, Grand Theft Auto III, and introduced a 3D game world and a third person perspective． The entire era contains interlocking storylines, and many characters appear across multiple games． Notably, games in this era were not released in chronological order, with first game released being the last chronologically, and the last game released being the first chronologically．

5． Grand Theft Auto III (2001) - Set in fictional Liberty City, based upon the real life New York City． Multiplayer game mode was lost, but other areas were much improved, namely the graphics, voice acting, storyline with non-linear gameplay．

6． Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002) - Set in Vice City, a city based on real life Miami． This sequel to GTA III is technically a prequel (set in 1986) to the game, and to GTA San Andreas, which was released after GTA Vice City．

7． Grand Theft Auto Advance (2004) - What was originally supposed to be a cut-down port of GTA III for the Game Boy Advance, turned out to be a completely original game, set a year before GTA III, in a slightly changed Liberty City．

8． Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004) - Set in the state of San Andreas, featured three cities, Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas, based on Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas respectively． The game is set in 1992, making it a sequel to GTA Vice City, and prequel to GTA III． The game featured a lot more customization options, for both players and vehicles．

It is generally believed that the 3D Universe has been completed, and there will be no more official expansions on the characters, storylines or engine． However modifications and fan fiction continue to build on these．

15． Grand Theft Auto V (2013) - Set in 2013 in a recreated Los Santos． According to Rockstar, Grand Theft Auto V is their biggest open world game to date． The game concentrates on "the pursuit of the almighty dollar"． In a break with recent tradition, the game features three playable protagonists, Michael De Santa, Franklin Clinton, and Trevor Phillips． The multiplayer mode has been expanded into its own game, dubbed Grand Theft Auto Online．

16． Grand Theft Auto Online (2013) - Set shortly before the events of Grand Theft Auto V in 2013, is considered by Rockstar to the series' first multiplayer title． The player assumes the role of an online protagonist, with the focus of the game being heavily centered on money． Grand Theft Auto Online was released on October 1, 2013, 14 days after the actual game and is played from within GTA V．

The Fan Base

Grand Theft Auto has one of the largest fan bases of any game franchise． There are many unofficial Fansites about GTA games, providing the latest news, download databases, and often an online forum for the GTA community． Thousands of GTA fansites exist, ranging from small one-person news blogs to community-edited wikis (like this one) to massive downloads databases to forums with hundreds of thousands of members．

An activity popular with fans is modding - creating new vehicle models, skins, re-texturing of objects, and tweaking settings in the games' configuration files． These modifications are made freely available on fansites for anyone to download and install into their game． Another popular pastime (since GTA III) is stunting - the act of performing wild stunts with vehicles, which are produced into compilation videos．

Another activity popular with members of the community is writing Fan Fiction - stories based on events which follow on from, or are based around events which happen in the games, but these are not to be considered canon．

The List of GTA Forums attempts to list all of the large communities, and by demonstrating just how big the community as a whole is．

These are a list of some of the most popular fan sites:
