GTA: Ranking Every Mainline Grand Theft Auto Game

#6 GTA Chinatown Wars

GTA Chinatown Wars

GTA Chinatown Wars, although a novel addition to the PSP library, ended up as a pretty good entry to the series despite clunky controls. A return to the top-down perspective, Chinatown Wars featured a thoroughly enjoyable storyline and a ton of interesting mini-games which added to it's charm.

#5 GTA III

GTA III revolutionized open worlds

The next entry in this list is the revolutionary GTA III. With GTA III Rockstar revolutionised what we imagined could be possible in an open world. Players played as the silent protagonist Claude and followed his story around GTA's version of New York - Liberty City.

Although the game hasn't aged as well as the entries that followed it, mainly because of somewhat clunky controls and the lack of checkpoints in certain missions, it's still a nice drive around memory lane.

#4 GTA IV

A slight disappointment

Anyone who knows me knows that I personally found GTA IV to be a disappointment. The story itself was gritty and compelling as we followed Nico Bellic's murderous rampage through Liberty City.

In my opinion the game just wasn't as fun and wacky as previous entries - something the single player DLCs to this entry corrected.
