Measurement of health was not prominent in [[Grand Theft Auto 1|the original Grand Theft Auto]], as the game has no indication of the player's health - players will simply die after an unspecified amount of minimal damage. [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], however, gave players indication of the health for the first time, measuring it using a 5-heart gauge, with each heart denoted as full, half-sized and depleted, thus giving the health a 10-level scale. | Measurement of health on [[Heads-Up Display|HUD]]s was not prominent in [[Grand Theft Auto 1|the original Grand Theft Auto]], as the game has no indication of the player's health - players will simply die after an unspecified amount of minimal damage.

From [[Grand Theft Auto III]] onwards, the 5-heart system is replaced by a numbered counter, with its default maximum as 100%; in most of these games, the player's health can be extended, usually as a reward for completing one or more side missions. | From [[Grand Theft Auto III]] onwards, the 5-heart system is replaced by a numbered counter, with its default maximum as 100%; in most of these games, the player's health can be extended, usually as a reward for completing one or more side missions. | ||
