15 Terrible Mistakes That Almost Ruined Grand Theft Auto

12. Wrong Side Of The Tracks (GTA: San Andreas)

The San Andreas mission Wrong Side of the Tracks involves getting on a motorbike with Big Smoke, chasing a train and allowing Big Smoke to shoot all the Vagos gang members who are on it. Sound simply enough, right? Nope. This is easily one of the most challenging and infuriating missions in the GTA series, as it's incredibly easy to lose the train and fail, at which point you'll be berated by Big Smoke, who will shout, "All we had to do was follow the damn train, CJ!", which has become something of an Internet meme. The frequent likelihood of failure combined with Big Smoke's ridiculous put-down makes this an infuriating mission any way you cut it, and detracts hugely from what clearly should have been an awesome, action-packed set-piece.
