Before GTA V: 20 Greatest Grand Theft Auto Missions Ever

Twenty of our favourite missions from the GTA franchise.

In the decade that has passed since 2001's GTA III, we have been treated to some fantastic missions in the Grand Theft Auto series', accompanied by 3D graphic cut scene videos showing buildings exploding, graves being dug, construction foremen being buried alive and cruise-liners blowing up before sinking into the ocean. In between all that, we have had to instigate these final scenes by navigating our way through a series of missions and killing bad guys. It's not all been bullets and bombs though, some of the more memorable missions in GTA's past have involved remote control helicopters, driving really fast cars, stealthily (or not so stealthily) robbing banks and even driving a friend with a dismembered appendage to the hospital under a cloud of haze whilst drunk. If you want to relive all this, and more missions from GTA's illustrious past, then you are in the right place. Strap on your seat belt and enjoy the ride...

20. GTA San Andreas: "Deconstruction"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wcHhY7aP5U You know how much of a nuisance those builders can be. All you need is for one attractive broad to walk on by before you start getting the customary wolf-whistles and cat calls. More often than not, the woman in question merely rolls her eyes in derision and walks on by. Not Kendl Johnson, Carl Johnson's younger sister. She goes straight to her big bo, protagonist of GTA: San Andreas, and rats them out. What happens next is something of an over-reaction on CJ's part. One bulldozer and a cement truck later and there's a trail of dead construction workers in our wake and one foreman buried alive in a case on concrete. Maybe next time just keep your thoughts to yourself, guys.
