This game is set in a fictional state inspired by California and features a vast open world for players to explore. It follows the story of a former gang member who returns home to uncover the truth behind his mother's murder. Played this game a year back for the first time. It was the original version and not the Definitive Edition.
For a 20-year-old game, this blows many modern games out of the water. Some things may be dated, like the lack of checkpoints, but this is still a masterpiece even in 2024.
I played Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto Vice City, Grand Theft Auto 4, and this one is by far the best in the series. It has the best gameplay, best story, and best soundtrack. The only thing that is not the best is the graphics, but who cares? Gameplay is where it's at!
This game is set in a fictional city based on Los Angeles and features three playable characters who are involved in a series of heists. It includes a large open world with various missions and activities to complete. The story and characters alone make this my favorite Grand Theft Auto game. However, the gameplay, open world, and graphics add something greater that I've never experienced in a Grand Theft Auto game. Even the writing for this game is hilarious and entertaining. The pacing was great, and I was rarely bored.
Most incredibly for me, though, was the fact that the game made me CARE about the characters. What would happen to them, how all of their stories would play out, and whether they would stay true to their "friendship" or whether they would follow down the path of betrayal and murder (like most Grand Theft Auto plots have). Happily, that wasn't the case.
This game is set in a fictional city inspired by Miami and takes place in the 1980s. Players control a character who rises through the ranks of the criminal underworld, completing various missions and tasks. Yes, some of the missions were too easy, and yes, the AI were dumb at times, and sure, it lacks the massive scope of the successors (hell, the map was smaller than Grand Theft Auto III's, and there were fewer gangs). Despite these things, Vice City is my favourite.
I love the setting (80's Miami-vice inspired city), it has a complex but cool story with a badass voiced protagonist, an awesome art style that's colorful and distinctive, the gameplay is very classic Grand Theft Auto, and the graphics have necessary improvements where vital. Also, this hands down has the best soundtrack in the series for me (made me a fan of 80s music).
This game is set in a fictional city based on New York and follows the story of an Eastern European immigrant who becomes involved in the criminal underworld. It features a large open world with various missions and activities to complete. This game was amazing. It pleased gamers and people who aren't even into video games. The characters are outstanding! However, some were a little weird like Little Jacob, but they still had much better alternatives.
This game actually has my favorite Grand Theft Auto protagonist, Niko Bellic. His character kills me! He's able to be a total badass with a sad backstory, yet still be very humorous. The story is one of the best. It keeps you hooked like most Grand Theft Auto games do.
The only bad thing I could find with this was the soundtrack. It had some good songs, like Run to the Hills. It's a shame I've only heard it once. Liberty Rock Radio was sort of a letdown, but if that's the only flaw, I'm perfectly satisfied! This game is a masterpiece and deserves its spot as number 1 on the list.
This game is set in a fictional city based on New York and follows the story of a criminal who works his way up the ranks of the city's underworld. It features a large open world with various missions and activities to complete. This Grand Theft Auto brings back so many memories. It's straight to the point, meaning no boring side missions and other stuff like that, which the newer Grand Theft Auto games have. It's easy to memorize the whole layout of the city.
The missions require some thinking and have many different strategies for beating them. In my opinion, it's not the best Grand Theft Auto but definitely needs to be raised up in the rankings.
To a lot of people, this is where the Grand Theft Auto series really started. The transition to a 3D world really made you feel like you were finally part of the world and its surroundings. The protagonist didn't talk, but I believe that added to the whole atmosphere of the game, which was grey and gloomy.
The characters all had personalities and connected well within the story. The gameplay mechanics may not have aged well, but this game revolutionized open-world gaming.
This game is a prequel to Grand Theft Auto III and follows the story of a small-time criminal in Liberty City. It features a smaller open world than other games in the series but includes a variety of missions and activities. This game, I believe, is even better than Grand Theft Auto 5 and even San Andreas. But before you start tapping that dislike button just because I said this, I just want to point out a couple of things.
It introduced so many new features, such as parachutes, mission replay, cage fighting, new weapons, and a new story with fun characters such as Luis Lopez, Tony Prince, Yusuf, and a new antagonist, Ray Bulgarin. If you have Grand Theft Auto 4 and are considering downloading it as DLC or thinking of buying Grand Theft Auto: Episodes of Liberty City, do it because it will be something you won't regret.
This game is a prequel to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and follows the story of a soldier who returns home to find his family's fortune stolen. It includes a smaller open world than other games in the series but features various missions and activities. This was way better than Vice City. This game has better controls, more features and activities, more stuff, a cool story, and you can swim.
This game is so underrated, with a great story and great characters. The only bad thing in the game was literally the loading lag.
If the town with touches of Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy is the basis for Grand Theft Auto 5, and Scarface for Vice City, I think Bad Boys 1 and 2 are the basis for this one. I rank this as the third best and third most fun Grand Theft Auto game. I hope they release this bad boy on iOS pretty soon.
This game is set in a fictional city based on New York and follows the story of a young gang member who becomes involved in a power struggle between different criminal organizations. It features a unique gameplay style that incorporates touch screen controls. I like this game for many reasons, but my number one is because of the way it looks. It has the same look as the first Grand Theft Auto and the Game Boy Advance version, but this one has better controls. I love that you can get a lite version of the game for iOS. The only problem is that you have to read all the dialogue.
Insanely underrated. Very easily the best game on iPhone for hardcore gamers. Everybody hates this game only because it's top-down after a half dozen 3D games. How this is below Grand Theft Auto 1 and 2 is beyond me.
This game is set in a fictional city and follows the story of a criminal who works his way up the ranks of the city's underworld. It features a top-down perspective and includes various missions and activities. The graphics and music in this game are great! When I was 3, I played Grand Theft Auto 2 on PS1 with my cousin. I have played Grand Theft Auto 1, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto IV, but that legendary game is a classic and my favorite.
My first Grand Theft Auto game... Always loved it.
This game is an expansion pack for Grand Theft Auto IV and follows the story of a biker gang member who becomes involved in a war between different biker groups. It includes new missions, weapons, and vehicles. Best game of all time. Playing as Johnny Klebitz, a badass biker who is a member of The Lost MC. It features bike races, gang wars, and probably the best and deepest story of all Grand Theft Auto games.
Best story ever! The only game to feature gang wars and bikers. I have Grand Theft Auto 1, 2, 3, 4, but I definitely believe this is by far the best!
Great driving controls, a bunch of new guns, and an overall great story. To me, it feels like a completely different game than Grand Theft Auto 4.
The Newcomers
A mission pack expansion for the original Grand Theft Auto game, set in London during the 1960s and featuring new missions and vehicles.
An expansion pack for Grand Theft Auto IV, following the story of a nightclub owner and featuring new missions, weapons, and vehicles.
The original game that started it all, set in a fictional city and allowing players to take on the role of a criminal, completing various missions and causing chaos. This is the one that started it all. Should be number one.
This one had the best soundtrack.
An online multiplayer version of Grand Theft Auto V that allows players to explore the game's vast open world together and engage in various activities, such as heists and races. Set a bar on what can be done with a multiplayer game on a previous-gen console.
Great game, has some glitches and hackers, but overall it's pretty good.
A top-down action game for Game Boy Advance, set in Liberty City and following the story of a small-time criminal who rises through the ranks of the criminal underworld.
