Best GTA Games Counting Down The Grand Theft
Auto Series From Worst To Best
The products discussed here were independently

one of most well known and controversial across
the gaming landscape. Known for its over-the-top
violence and commentary on politics and pop
culture, the series has grown and evolved over
the years from a top-down 2D game to one of the
biggest and most robust experiences that gaming
has to offer. With Grand Theft Auto V set for
release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series XS in
March 2022--following a recent delay out of
2021-- and rumors of Grand Theft Auto 6 after
that, we're taking a look back at the series by
highlighting the best GTA games. Below, we've
ranked the Grand Theft Auto series from worst to
best. Let's dig in.

Grand Theft Auto
The game that started it all. Grand Theft Auto,
which was developed by DMA Design before Rockstar
was formed, was released in 1998 for PC. The
gameplay involved hijacking cars and zipping
around the city, causing as much mayhem as
possible and then attempting to escape the law.
The game was presented in a top-down perspective,
something the series would move away from in
later entries. While not exactly fondly
remembered by critics, it sold well and its core
ideas--being a criminal in an open world with the
ability to go anywhere and do anything--proved to
be popular with fans.

Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories
2005's Liberty City Stories is a prequel to GTA
III that was originally released for PSP, and
it's remembered for being the first 3D entry in
the series for a portable console. Also set in
Liberty City, Liberty City Stories was designed
to take advantage of the PSP's hardware. And in
our review at the time, we said the game
succeeded in factoring in "what made the 'big'
GTA games so memorable." The story follows a
mobster named Tony Cipriani, who is trying to
make a name for himself in the criminal
underworld. The game continued the franchise's
tradition of non-linear, open-ended gameplay--and
of course the prime directive being to shoot
first and ask questions later. Overall, we said
in our review that Liberty City Stories was a
technical marvel for being able to include so
much of the GTA console experience into a
handheld package.

Grand Theft Auto IV
The long-awaited follow-up to GTA San Andreas,
2008's Grand Theft Auto IV is beloved by many
upon its release for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
It ushered in a new, more realistic presentation
of Liberty City, which was modeled after New York
City. The size and scale of the world was
stunning, giving players even more freedom to
explore on a bigger stage. The story followed the
immigrant Nico Bellic and his troubles making his
new life in America. Here at GameSpot, we scored
GTA 4 a 10/10 and one of the best of 2008. In
addition to its compelling campaign, GTA 4 laid
the groundwork for GTA Online with its own
multiplayer mode, letting players duke it out or
work together in an online environment. This
would go on to pay dividends with GTA Online
enjoying runaway success years later.
5
Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars
2009's GTA Chinatown Wars represented a
departure of sorts for Rockstar, as the Nintendo
DS and later PSP game was the first since Vice
City Stories designed specifically for portable
devices. And with the DS specifically, the game
made use of the system's touchscreen and second
screen to offer a presentation style and setup no
previous game could. The game takes place once
again in Liberty City, and puts you into the
shoes of Huang Lee, a Triad gang member.
