From taking part in action-packed robberies, high-speed car chases, and massive shootouts, the Grand Theft Auto series is brimming with some of the most exhilarating set-pieces and unforgettable moment in gaming history. 

As incredible as these games are, they’re not without their handful of aggravating low points, with one of the worst offenders being the infamous mission Wrong Side Of The Tracks from San Andreas.

After arriving at a train station with Big Smoke to interrupt a meeting between rival gangs, a group of the gangsters escape by jumping on the roof of a train. Players are then tasked with giving chase on a motorbike while Big Smoke shoots the escapees.

Although all players had to do was "follow the damn train", anyone who’s played this mission knows the hours of pain and despair that it caused. 

Not only was maintaining a steady speed for Big Smoke to shoot the enemies a near impossible feat, but the terrible driving physics would see CJ and Smoke thrown from the bike at the slightest collision.

It was easier for players to get on top of the train and kill the enemies themselves rather than trying to complete this mission the way it was intended to be played.
