14. Pulaski
Every villain needs his slime-ball, weasel like compatriot and Pulaski filled this role with aplomb. His abrasive nature, rude disposition and all round hateable face made him a focal point for hatred the more the cops started to step on CJ. His and Tenpennys relationship was almost bromantic; yet entirely maligned by the players who wanted no more than to see this aggressive scum bag brought to justice.
13. The Setting
Ambition is the name of the game and this particular entry in to the gaming universe brought it particularly with its tri-city setting of three of the world's most renowned and beautiful cities. Balancing your pre-conceived expectations of these areas with story telling detail and breathtaking design; the cities all felt individual and fresh when you entered them. Constantly shocking and adding more the game with their new environments and new beauties whilst being weaved together brilliantly with the games story.
12. Breaking The Bank At Caligulas
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iiAAu3V1ww The culmination of a lot of missions work gives you this massively scoped heist mission; the genius of this is in the many mission build up make this a sweet release for all the excitement, all the set up. Each level of this heist is fresh, so many aspects and so many twists bringing it together to make this one of the ultimately set up missions that so few games can rival in scope and execution.
11. Just Business
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV0M7nKRn7s The first out and out shooter mission of the game is one of the most memorable, the simple premise? Invade this building. Then escape. Seems simple, but nothing ever is with San Andreas and after shooting your way through a boat load of angry Russians youre then advised to hang off the back of a motorcycle and chase the Russians chasing them in bikes, cars and trucks. Its action heavy and packed with energy and is a mission you dont mind failing; just to enjoy playing over again.
10. The Truth
GTA isnt GTA without its recreational drug use; The Truth however took this to new levels. His inane rants about governmental satellites hunting you down, aliens and the effects of snorting acid were surreal yet funny and interesting. Also his missions can be included in a list of possibly the most fun missions in games ever; a true showing of GTA San Andreas balls to the wall attitude that has helped make it the greatest game of all time through how fun it is. His enigmatic requests in relation to jet packs and green goo make him a character everyone wants to see again in GTA 5, just to see what on earth he had planned.
