'''[[wp:Top-down perspective|Top-down perspective]]''' was a prominent camera view used in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series, where the player and their surroundings are viewed from overhead, rather than being able to look in any direction.


It was the standard viewpoint adopted in early GTA games, including [[Grand Theft Auto 1]] (as well as its [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1969]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1961]] expansion packs), [[Grand Theft Auto 2]] and [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]]. It is one optional camera view in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], the first game to utilize an over-the-shoulder perspective, and a variation of the view is used in [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]] called isometric perspective.
