Top 10 Hardest Missions in the Grand Theft Auto Series

I raged and mowed down everyone with my AK after I tried it. I shot up the windows of the first cop cars that started rolling toward me, and they ended up crashing into a crowd of people. I then got into that car and made my way to a bar.

I jumped out, fired some shots at random people on the street, then went into the bar. This is where my real massacre started. I first shot dead the two people at the bar, then started executing people at extreme speed before throwing a cocktail into the back of the bar as I exited the building.

Getting outside, I shot one cop and jumped into my car again. This time I would commit drive-bys until I got onto the highway, then I would escape the police.

For those who play Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, not all missions are easy to pass, especially this one. In this mission, you have to win a street race to beat a fat shack of turd named Hilary (who has a fast car better than the crappy car you're driving).

The problem here is that he can ram you off the road, and a 2-star wanted level appears when cops show up. I had a hell of a time passing this, and it took 13 tries to solve the situation.

This is by far the most frustrating mission Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has given us.

This part of the act isn't as easy as the first one. You have to protect 8-Ball when he tries to trigger a bomb on a rival gang's boat. The problem is 8-Ball has injured hands, so he can't shoot them but still rushes into a suicide mission.

It's frustrating for gamers to take out all the goons with a sniper while so much action is going on. It took me 4 tries, but shooting them in order while they're trying to kill 8-Ball is one way to go - if you hurry up.

One time I failed this mission because 8-Ball committed suicide by jumping into the water.

One of the hardest missions I have ever seen in a Grand Theft Auto game.

For this mission, you drop some leaflets for a director while using the seaplane. The bad thing about it is that the plane's controls are terrible when you try to nose up and down. You also have to reach hard-to-reach checkpoints to complete it.

You must use the chopper with a magnet to pick up containers before time runs out. The hardest part is rescuing a cartel member from bikers. It's not easy grabbing his car with the chopper's magnet while he's driving around getting shot, especially around street lights and palm trees.

Doing this mission as intended can be tough and frustrating - I found out when I played this game blind. However, I came up with a tedious but safer way to complete it: Drive all over the city until all nine kiosks are highlighted on the map. As you go, kill the cartel goons in them.

The timer doesn't start until you destroy the first kiosk, so you can simply identify where they are and then take them down one by one with the rocket launcher.

If you're gonna do this awful rush hour mission, you're gonna need a fast car to take out some drug stands before time runs out. Cops will be roaring all over you, so make it quick and concentrate on the road.

The forklift is so hard to control. Vice City Stories had a similar tough mission with Phil Cassidy, but San Andreas's Robbing Uncle Sam is harder. Ryder can't shoot properly, and always having to get out and save him from infinitely spawning army enemies is tedious.

It's hard to protect a homie when you have to load crates into the back of a moving truck while soldiers are attacking you, and you're using a forklift. Another frustrating part is having to outrun them, and Ryder is getting shot behind the truck when he's supposed to be covering the crates.

Why not close the truck's door and sit in the passenger seat, you smoking idiot?

Enemies are here to rob you, and you must defend your cash from them. The bad thing is they're heavily armed, and it's impossible to survive this hellacious mission without a strong weapon. You have no choice but to use a cheat code.

You also have to kill the guy who betrayed you and run back to your office to take out a tough boss. There's no checkpoint in this final mission of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, so good luck - you're gonna need it.

I would have used a cheat on this mission, but I didn't. It only took me 7 tries unless you find armor or health packs around the mansion.

By far the most frustrating and infuriating mission in San Andreas. I've played the game multiple times all the way to the end, but every single time I had to redo this mission at least 30 times. Sometimes I'd just quit the game because of how frustrating it got.

I don't really get why everyone says it's one of the hardest missions. I passed it on the first or second try (can't remember), but I thought it was really easy. Like Big Smoke said, "All you have to do is follow the damn train."

I always know what to do in this mission, but Big Smoke gets all whiny and says, "All you have to do is follow the damn train, CJ!" Dude, he doesn't even know how to shoot those Hispanic gangsters right.

While I do hate this mission, I STILL feel sorry for Avery because he gets killed off in Liberty City Stories just because Rockstar had a bad relationship with the voice actor.

Never did end up completing this. The RC helicopter controls are terrible, and it doesn't help that all the construction workers are trying to knock it down.

I quit Vice City because of this mission. Never seen anything like it.

You have to waste your own money to give it to an annoying character named Catalina, and then you must chase her while outrunning the spawning Cartels trying to kill you. If you have a rocket launcher, you'd better shoot Catalina in the chopper before time runs out.

Claude is very happy that Catalina died.

Too much pain in this mission. Even though I love the lore of it, it took me nearly 20 tries and 10 different tutorials to beat it.

I've done it 100 times, but it is still the most difficult mission ever. I can't even count how many tries it takes to complete this mission.

OH MY GOD, this mission is insane. First, you have to drive all the way from the casino to the airport. Then you have to do a 180 in mid-air and follow a plane that's faster than yours. This took, only God knows, how many tries.

Gangsters everywhere. SWAT, FBI, and police to kill. Helicopters to shoot down. It took me five attempts to do it.

Not only that, the hospital has very little cover, and if you move to get health, you might get blown up by an enemy shooting a gas bottle. I couldn't find the bag, so I always got killed. The boat was difficult too.

I eventually completed it by shooting gas bottles, using RPGs, and cheats.

It was hard, considering the heavy controls of Grand Theft Auto IV. You get a 4-star wanted level, and the hardest part is losing that wanted level. They even follow you inside the respray shop.

Toreno told you to fly the canyon route to Angel, but the canyon is hard as hell. It's even harder for mobile players. The trees around Angel Pine are ridiculously high. Some of them are solid, and some are not.

The steep, bumpy terrain makes low flight much harder. It's also difficult not to alert the Hydras, and your plane has no anti-missile system, which is messed up. You're forced to do loops to avoid the missile swarm, which might cause you to crash into things.

I tried this mission 21 times before completing it.

It took me about 3 months to finish it, but once you know the trick, it's easy.

This was pretty hard because I didn't understand the timing at first. I got almost all the moves wrong, but after a few tries, I managed to get every single move correct.

This one took me so many tries, but eventually I won, and I was so relieved.

This mission sucks. First, you have to sneak through the aircraft carrier, but good luck trying to get through undetected. Those stupid mechanics have eyes in the back of their heads, and the guards can apparently see through boxes and walls.

Once you get into the jet, prepare for the worst flying controls ever. And that annoying alarm goes off the moment you get spotted.

The last one is the worst, especially considering that you lose just by stopping the car or getting hit by traffic.

I hate it and still can't complete City Slicking. I've tried like 100 times.

Choose the "Obvious" route and you'll fight through SWAT teams and cops. Worst of all is flying the chopper through windmills while taking out Merryweather and carrying gold at the same time.
