Every GTA Game Ranked
24.12.2023 - 17:11 / ign.com
From Liberty City to San Andreas, Rockstar has built a rich world of career criminals, lunatics, and thieves, and we’ve loved each and every one. Although over 25 years old, the record-breaking views on the first Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer is proof that Rockstar’s iconic game series remains one of the most popular franchises on the planet.
From humble beginnings — the series originally began as top-down car-stealing games — to creating some of the most advanced and realistic open world games in the industry, each new Grand Theft Auto game is worthy of celebration. So, with Grand Theft Auto 6 on the horizon, IGN has thought back on both modern blockbusters and retro classics to create a definitive ranking of all of Rockstar’s open-world crime games and determine which GTA game is the best.
After having already made the switch to 3D, Grand Theft Auto: Advance returned the series to its top-down roots in 2004 for a Game Boy spinoff. A prequel to the events of Grand Theft Auto 3, GTA: Advance successfully brings the classic car-jacking, crime spree gameplay of the original games to Nintendo’s portable. While there is a story that ties into GTA 3, GTA: Advance is primarily gameplay driven, giving players over 300 missions to complete which makes for a fun excursion but hardly a full GTA experience in the modern sense.
An expansion pack for the original GTA, Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 is notable for taking place in the real city of London as opposed to a fictional amalgam like Los Santos (Los Angeles) or Liberty City (New York City). Like most of the early GTA games, it is hardly recognizable today and is more of a fun retro relic of the past. However, London remains one of the most fan-requested locations for the series to revisit.
Released two years after the first Grand Theft Auto, Rockstar returned with an improved sequel. Set in an almost cyberpunk-ish retro futuristic city, it boasted better graphics and tuned-up gameplay. But this early on in the series, Grand Theft Auto was still mostly about stealing and destroying cars and scoring the most points. One notable thing about GTA 2 was an eight-minute long short movie created by Rockstar that was used as the intro cutscene for the game, hinting at the cinematic direction the series would take later on in the series.
The game that started it all, Grand Theft Auto 1 seems almost unrecognizable from the game series it is today. A top-down, mission-based experience where players steal cars to reach the end of a level, Grand Theft Auto 1 was mostly about running over people and evading cops. While GTA started as an honest-to-goodness car-stealing game, the wanton destruction and irreverent sense of humor was part of the series’ DNA from the very beginning,
