This control difference, named 'Standard' controls, is also seen in the console and PC ports of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|San Andreas]]. The player can change to the control format of the PlayStation 2 in the control options by setting the option to Classic.
