| abstract | - Grand Theft Auto: Geoshea Edition is a 2000 open world action-adventure video game developed by DMA Design (now Rockstar North) in the United Kingdom and published by Rockstar Games, along with Universal Interactive Studios and Konami. It is the third installment in the Geoshea series and a spin-off to the Grand Theft Auto game series. Originally released for the Universal Odyssey in May 2000 as part of Universal's initial wave of Odyssey launch titles. It was re-released in Europe only on April 13, 2005. The game has since been released for the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube in December 2001. A Xbox port was announced, but it was cancelled. A PC version was released on December 19, 2001 and as a downloadable freeware on February 23, 2014 (A Japanese version of the downloadable freeware was announced to be released in fourth-quarter 2014 but the production stopped). The game was succeeded by Grand Theft Auto III in 2001. GTA: Geoshea Edition is similar of that GTA: San Andreas. The game is set in the semi-fictional state of San Andreas (based on California and Nevada) and its three metropolitan cities: Los Santos (based on Los Angeles), San Fierro (based on San Francisco), and Las Venturas (based on Las Vegas). Set in 1992. Like other games in the series, Geoshea Edition is composed of elements from driving games and third-person shooters, and features open world gameplay, in which players can interact with the game world at their leisure. The game introduced several gameplay elements to the series, including gang wars, car tuning, and extensive player customization. This game received more universal acclaim than 666 The Street, and was actually, at first, the best selling Universal Odyssey game until the bundled game for it in the US, Frantic Mayhem Royale, was released, with more than 21 million copies sold as of September 2005. After this, a planned sequel, titled Grand Theft Auto: Bikini Bottom, was cancelled. A Brazilian video game by Olivira (known as ressubd on YouTube), GTA SA Evolution is similar to Grand Theft Auto: Geoshea Edition, but unlike Geoshea Edition, Evolution has all the CLEO mods, and skins (except for Stuart the Minion, Crash Bandicoot and others). A high-definition remake, titled Grand Theft Auto: Geoshea Edition HD, is in the works and set to be released for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U and PC in 2015.[citation needed]
