 what's up everyone take down here welcome back to another video today I'm gonna be sharing with you the best grand theft auto video games let's get right into this up first is Grand Theft Auto Vice City it was released in 2002 but it is set in 1986 in Vice City which is a fictional city based on Miami you play as Tommy Versetti after his release from prison and he seeks out those who are responsible for putting him in there while building a criminal empire so this game has a very interesting story there's a whole bunch of different stuff you could do I absolutely loved just having fun I loved going into the mall and finding the samurai sword and I also just loved wreaking havoc but in this one here there is some super cars that are actually undercover police cars and you don't know what until they're on you so it's very interesting the story is great and I love the whole 80s 90s vibe in this game next up is Grand Theft Auto 3 it was released in 2001 and it is set in Liberty City which is based on New York City you play as Claude after he is left for dead and quickly becomes entangled in gangs crime and corruption this game here I didn't enjoy it so much for the graphics and the mechanics of the game but I absolutely love the gameplay and the story which is why I wanted to add it to this list because it is very interesting as things develop in the game for your character of everything that you find out about him so I absolutely loved this game next up is Grand Theft Auto San Andreas it was released in 2004 and in my opinion this is the best Grand Theft Auto game ever made it was so large so many things to do but with today's games the graphics just don't compare it is set in the 90s in San Andreas which is based on California and Nevada you play as CJ who is a former gangster who is brought back home after his mother's death and you try to find out the truth behind the death while also getting back in the mix of gangs and different things like that you it includes gang wars car modifications burglary missions mini games gambling missions you can play pool go to the gym and arcade games so it had so many different things that you can do in this game which is why I consider it to be the best game because a lot of these things like getting buff in a gym future Grand Theft Autos just did not include things like that so this game had a lot of very interesting things in it next up is Grand Theft Auto 4 it was released in 2008 and it is once again set in Liberty City which aka is New York I've already mentioned that you get to play as a war veteran Niko Bellick who is very iconic in the whole franchise who he tries to escape from his past while under pressure from loan sharks and mob bosses in this game it has very interesting things that have not been seen in GTA ever since things like bowling darts and vigilante missions which are basically assassination missions is very interesting a lot of fun but for this one here I felt like it was constricted you didn't have car modifications you can purchase vehicles you could purchase apartments throughout the city however you can park and find vehicles and park them in two spaces out front of your house but if those vehicles are destroyed you no longer have access to them so you basically just found vehicles put them in your garage put them in the parking spots you couldn't paint them so that was iffy but the story of you being a russian or european gangster I thought that was awesome and the last game I want to mention is the last game that was released Grand Theft Auto 5 it was originally released in 2013 it came out on the ps4 in 2014 and it's just a huge game the online went incredible it's still going strong with so many things and they have a whole bunch of different updates that have always continued so many things from heist bunker missions biker gang stuff that you could go and purchase online so many things to do along with races and other things like that it is set back in san adreus but the map completely changed instead of it being like san adreus 2004 game the map is completely changed instead of it being basically three different parts it's all one huge map you follow three criminals michael trevor and franklin so to change perspective from the three characters I thought that was a little different but I got used to it and absolutely loved it at the end and you get to see their efforts to commit heist together so it's very interesting to see everybody work together the three characters and how it worked gameplay and mechanics wise now with gta online you get to create a character you get to complete missions buy clothes cars customize your character and play with friends you can create custom jobs races and just have fun do so many different things and just have a blast with it so this is the game that I spent the most hours on ever since it came out I don't play much any work anymore because I pretty much got burnt out on the game I played it so much it is definitely one of my favorite grand theft auto games but my all-time favorite grand theft auto game will always be grand theft auto san andreus I loved grand theft auto 5 because it had new graphics it looked more realistic newer cars in it but san andreus just had so much more you can do in it and it's so much more iconic so I hope you guys enjoyed this video of me
