18. GTA Vice City: "The Job"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wROPMN9kw90 Still in Vice City and this time we're robbing a bank. You know how it is, you're down to your last dime, and you just can't afford a new Hawaiian Shirt. Needs must. Sounds simple enough, go in, put on a hockey mask to conceal your identity, hold people hostage, open the vault, make off with the cash, evade the law enforcement and start counting all the bank notes from the safety of our safe house. Problem is, the vault won't open, and one of the hostages sounds the alarm. Que a whole squadron of SWAT with machine guns, descending from the roof tops and from helicopters left right and centre, and we suddenly have to battle our way through half the VCPD to safety. A nice bit of adrenaline fueled fun in this mission, and one of the classic "bank job" missions that would go on to feature quite prominently in the GTA series. (More on that later).
