GTA Trilogy Remake: 10 Missions We Can't Wait To Play (& 10 We're DREADING)

8. Can't Wait: Just Business - GTA San Andreas

This mission could have been the worst in the game if Big Smoke was shooting rather than CJ. Thankfully Rockstar made the right decision in this case, and delivered a thrill-ride of a mission through the streets of Los Santos.

Just Business is relatively straightforward Grand Theft Auto fare to begin with. Go to a location, shoot some guys, try not to die. Then it all escalates as CJ and Big Smoke escape on a motorbike and - in a rarity in this series - Big Smoke drives while CJ wields an Uzi with infinite ammo.

The rest is on-rails shooter involving cars, motorbikes and even a huge truck. After getting through the city the action turns to the Los Santos aqueducts where CJ will have to blast enemy after enemy to get away.

It's a really cool set piece that is fun, lacking in frustration and is easily one of the most memorable missions in San Andreas.

Just for good measure there's an awesome scene too where Smoke acends the ramp of the vehicle carrier truck, jumps up in the air, and everything explodes in slow motion. *chef's kiss*
