GTA Trilogy Remake: 10 Missions We Can't Wait To Play (& 10 We're DREADING)
11. Dreading: Robbing Uncle Sam - GTA: San Andreas
Did you love driving the forklift in Shenmue? Did you think it lacked a bit of action? Well, San Andreas has a mission for you! Just...don't expect to like it.
The basic premise of Robbing Uncle Sam is CJ needs to steal some gear using a forklift. Problem is said gear is stored in an army installation, and they ain't too happy about you taking it.
You're accompanied by Ryder on this mission, and while he's meant to protect you and himself while you're driving around the forklift, he's absolutely useless at actually doing that.
This means that you'll routinely have to abandon your forklift and the monotonous stacking task given to you to jump out and blast away some military men before they manage to kill you or Ryder.
On top of that, the forklift handles about as well as you'd expect a PS2-era forklift to handle. Badly. You'll need to precisely line it up to pick things up and hope you won't get shot to pieces in the process.
The whole thing just takes far too long to do due to having to constantly swap between protector and forklift driver. It takes even longer when you fail because Ryder's AI keeps getting him into bad situations.
