Grand City Car Thief is the life some folks may choose based on circumstance just because they want the thrill of going fast and stealing fast. You're a car thief who has just moved to the big city, and your reputation preceded you enough to get the attention of a shady garage. Knowing your skills, the garage is more than happy to give you tasks to find certain valuable cars around the city and drive them back. It may not be an honest or admirable life, but it's your chosen life, and you will drive it hard or crash trying.

About Grand City Car Thief

The Grand Theft Auto games do so well because they thrive on thrill and chaos, which does not come often when you live a straight and narrow life. This game gives you a sample of that other lifestyle with a focus on speed since your main skill and job is to steal cars. Of course, there will be other cars on the road and people who will take notice of your actions, but that's why you must stay ahead in the chase. If you can keep doing that, you'll end up carving out a lucrative, if still illegal, career for yourself.

How to Play

Grand City Car Thief is a 3D action game about a thief making his way in the big city by stealing cars using the mouse and keyboard.

Controls

Cursor - Camera Control
W/Up Arrow - Move Forward/Accelerate
S/Down Arrow - Move Backward/Decelerate and Reverse
A/Left Arrow - Move/Turn Left
D/Right Arrow - Move/Turn Right
Spacebar - Jump/Handbrake

The goal is to steal and return the requested car to the garage. You'll only need to worry about your current location and navigate the city using your wits and memory. The game ends whenever you want to stop stealing cars.

The main menu starts you off at the beginning of your criminal journey. Each level begins with you outside of Carl's Garage and a nearby car to drive. You'll receive a request for a specific vehicle, which will then be tracked on the screen. From then on, you must explore the city on foot or in a car to find the car you need. You can steal any vehicle you approach as long as it's stopped. When you find the right vehicle, drive it back to the garage to complete the level and get the subsequent request.

Tips and Tricks

You're not given much information to go on, so you'll need to rely on speed and exploration. The cars you need are almost always on the road, so just start driving along to search. If the color isn't enough of a clue, you can get in closer to see if there are any logos or emblems. Remember to mark your way back to Carl's Garage.
