GTA: London 1961 also expanded on the multiplayer aspects in the GTA franchise from the original game and first expansion pack, including different forms of races, challenges and deathmatches. There is also the addition of a powerup which greatly increases car speed similar to nitro. The bomb-fitting garages of GTA and London 1969 are replaced with the Armour Shoppe where your vehicle can be heavily armored and made much harder to destroy, also the first such appearance in the franchise. However, GTA: London 1961 does have some notable new features, such as the first appearance of Drive-By Shooting in the GTA franchise this can be activated in the form of a powerup in 61. Since it is a sequel/prequel to Grand Theft Auto: London 1969, 61 is virtually identical in gameplay to the first expansion pack and therefore by extension similar to the gameplay of the original game also. Main article: Grand Theft Auto (1997 game)#Gameplay The game relies upon word of mouth and internet discussion forums to become known to fans of the series. London 1961 is the least known game in the series, other than Grand Theft Auto Advance, simply because the game was not heavily promoted by Rockstar, is only available as a download, and does not feature prominently on the Rockstar Games website. However, it requires the user to have both Grand Theft Auto and GTA London 1969 (which itself requires GTA). While London 1969, is available for multiple systems, London 1961 is only available for PC, as downloadable freeware (a 7MB executable file). The mission pack, as implied, includes new missions, 22 new vehicles, one new cutscene, and a new multiplayer " Deathmatch" map based upon the UK city of Manchester. The game takes place in London, United Kingdom in 1961, eight years before the events of London 1969, acting as a prequel to that game's events.
