There have been 2 sequals to GTA: Grand Theft Auto 2 and 3. GTA2 features much better graphics and gameplay; many people consider this to be the best in the series. GTA3 is the latest installment and is much more controversial than the previous 2. Unlike the other, this game is fully 3D and the camera angle is from the back instead of above.
In American state law grand theft is a felony, individual state penal codes define when larceny or theft misdemeanors become grand and therefore a felony. Generally the division is based on a monetary value and intent. A grand theft auto felony involves the taking of an auto from its owner with the intention of keeping the auto permanently. Removing parts or items from a vehicle is a misdemeanor. But both are again often related to monetary value, felony crimes are also subdivided into degrees relating to seriousness. For example in California the change is based around a dollar value of $400, although the term grand theft has actually been dropped - the crime is now CVC 10851.
