Which Grand Theft Auto game is set in the retrofuturistic Anywhere City?

Grand Theft Auto 2 is the Grand Theft Auto game set in the retrofuturistic Anywhere City.

Released in 1999, Grand Theft Auto 2 was developed by DMA Design and published by Rockstar Games. Its setting deliberately moved away from the recognizable urban inspirations used elsewhere in the series. Anywhere City is presented as a futuristic American metropolis, though the game never gives a firm, consistent date for its events. Promotional material and in-game references suggest competing possibilities, including 2013 and a period close to the approaching new millennium.

The city is divided into three districts: Downtown, Residential, and Industrial. Each area is associated with different criminal organizations, and the player gains or loses gang loyalty by accepting jobs from rival syndicates. That reputation system is one of the game's defining features. A common mix-up is confusing Anywhere City with Liberty City, Vice City, or San Andreas, the better-known recurring locations that dominate later Grand Theft Auto games. Grand Theft Auto 2 is also notable for its live-action introductory film, which follows Claude Speed, a criminal operating in the same unusual city.
