Before GTA V: 20 Greatest Grand Theft Auto Missions Ever

1. GTA IV: "Three Leaf Clover"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC6IXmAixGE There's nothing quite like a good bank heist in a GTA game, and this is one of the best missions I have ever played. Packie and Niko take along their friend Michael and Packie's brother Derrick to rob the Bank of Liberty of $1million. As always though it's never as simple as it seems and pretty soon we have the heat of a five-star wanted level complete with heavily armed SWAT teams bearing down on us as we battle our way through the streets before taking refuge from the police helicopters in a subway station. Next we find ourselves running across train tracks dodging incoming metro trains and a hail of police bullets before making our way back to surface level, having evaded the cops. One of the most adrenaline-fueled missions in GTA IV - in the GTA series as a whole - and also incredibly stylish, exemplifying GTA IV's new graphics engine and penchant for realism. Of all the GTA missions I have played down the years, this one was my favourite. Did we miss one of your favourites? Got any you'd like to add to the list? Let us know in the comment section below.
