Before GTA V: 10 Greatest Acts Of Insanity In The Series

1. Get The 6 Star Wanted Level

6 Star Yes, I know it's a dull final entry. Getting a 6-star wanted level isn't inventively insane €“ it's made obvious that you can achieve it and to a good many players it's an objective. After all, you're obviously doing something right if the city has to roll out an army's worth of personnel to stop you.Yet track back for a second, and think about it logically. If you haven't cheated, you've done quite a lot to earn that ultra-ridiculous rating. You've car-jacked, blown up buses with bazookas, held a siege in a Burger Shot, lobbed a grenade at a loaded SWAT van and shot helicopters out of the sky. Granted, any seasoned GTA player is more de-sensitised to violence than a Somali militiaman, but still, you've occasionally got to take a step back and admire your work. Sometimes, you'll really be impressed €“ the first time I noted how insane I was being was when I was attempting to use missiles locked onto me to destroy cars on the road beneath. To get to that point, I'd done a helicopter joust (smashing them into each other), held a Grove Street-set siege using a private army against Ballas and the police, attempted to avoid the Fuzz by taking part in a stadium motocross challenge and rammed an 18-wheeler into a police boat. That's not even a boast €“ I truly believe others have done far more bonkers things than me. So next time you find yourself classifying running through a Police HQ in only your boxers and armed with a sniper rifle as normal, I suggest re-analyse your definition of what normal is. Frankly, the whole thing's mad €“ but that's the beauty of a sandbox, isn't it? So that's your lot. What acts of insanity do you hope to emulate in GTA V? Comment below!
