00:00I've managed to get access to all the GTA games that have ever been made.
00:03Some are nostalgic, others are forgotten, and many I didn't even know existed.
00:08GTA VI is about to be released soon, so in its honor I'm going to try each one of them,
00:13get the maximum stars, and rank them to decide which is the best.
00:17Let's commit some crimes, starting with the oldest of them all, Grand Theft Auto 1997.
00:23I wasn't even born yet. You have to choose a character. Troy, I like that.
00:27Honestly, you can tell it was made 30 years ago. Can we steal cars? Yes, good.
00:33The driving is terrible, but we can run people over. Look at that. It looks very real.
00:38Yeah, I already have my first wanted level. It's a police head.
00:42No, I got arrested right away. Why? I think this is going to be a bit difficult.
00:48Alright, I got a few weapons. Don't ask me how, but now you won't be able to stop me, cops.
00:53This must have been crazy back in the day, but nowadays it looks terrible.
00:58The maximum wanted level in this game is four police heads, but I keep dying.
01:02This is really hard.
01:03Alright, I think I'm just going to stay in a corner shooting rockets at anyone who comes after me.
01:08Oh, we've got two heads.
01:10Come on, come on. Look how they die, man. Gotta keep going.
01:14I've got four heads. I thought it would be harder.
01:16I'm literally in the middle of the street doing three 360s.
01:19This is so much fun. No one can stop me.
01:23Number, I died.
01:25This is the tier list. Here's the deal.
01:27As usual, S tier is epic and F tier is terrible.
01:29I'm going to rank them based on how much fun I have with them.
01:32Since this is the game that started it all, I'm going to put it in B tier.
01:36Grand Theft Auto London 69 and 61 are expansions of the first GTA, but set in London.
01:41So I got the maximum wanted level in both.
01:43And the best both will go in C tier.
01:44Grand Theft Auto 2 1999.
01:48We're still in 2D and the wanted levels are also police heads, so I'm going straight for all six.
01:54I've already got three. Let's go.
01:56They also arrest you easily, man.
01:59Like in all the GTAs, running people over feels amazing.
02:03That will never change. No, please let me arrest it again.
02:07These cops are crazy. Look how many are coming.
02:10I'm sure I'll make it this time, right?
02:12I hate this game.
02:14Okay, I have a mission. Get the tank from the military base. We're in.
02:19Don't think I knew it was here.
02:21I had to watch a tutorial from 10 years ago, but now I can get the six stars.
02:25I did it. That's crazy. Four stars.
02:29Special agents are chasing me, but I have to keep going.
02:32Yes, six stars maximum level.
02:34With a tank, it's impossible for them to kill me.
02:39All right.
02:40But we did it. Maximum wanted level.
02:42God, I thought I wasn't going to make it.
02:43It's very similar to the previous ones, but with some improvements.
02:46This one goes to B.
02:48The first games are very old, but I assure you that you'll be surprised at how amazing they become over
02:52time.
02:53Grand Theft Auto 3.
02:542001.
02:55Yes, thank you.
02:56If it helps, I wasn't born yet either.
02:58We're in 3D for the first time.
03:00Surprisingly, only two years passed between this one and GTA 2.
03:04At the time, it was impressive.
03:05But nowadays, it looks terrible.
03:08Let's steal a car.
03:09It's called Grand Theft Auto for a reason.
03:11I'm trying to get to a special area, but there's no map to guide me.
03:15All I have is this mini-map.
03:17And we've made it.
03:18After 30 minutes.
03:20But this is exactly what I need to get the six stars.
03:22Will you open the doors for me while I steal the tank?
03:25How nice.
03:27I'm sorry.
03:28I have to do this.
03:29Two stars, God.
03:30This is so much better than trying to do it with weapons.
03:33They just crash into me.
03:34I'm not doing anything.
03:37I'm literally immortal.
03:38This is so much fun.
03:39I think you can see why GTA is so popular.
03:42We have 5 stars.
03:436 stars.
03:45The tanks are starting to show up.
03:46But I think I'm going to last a long time.
03:48Nice roadblock, guys.
03:50Too bad I don't care.
03:51Well, maybe not.
03:53It was fun, but not good enough.
03:55It's going straight into steel.
03:57Grand Theft Auto Vice City, 2002.
03:59Why do I feel nostalgic if I haven't even played it?
04:01Well, it's set in Miami.
04:02Just like GTA 6 will be.
04:04Yeah, there are still a few months left.
04:06In the meantime, we have to settle for this.
04:08Look at how the character runs.
04:11Alright, I've got plenty of weapons and we need 6 stars.
04:14So I'm going to enter the police station.
04:172 stars just for shooting.
04:19I'll get all 6 in no time.
04:21There are too many cops, man.
04:23Nice.
04:25I just blew his head off.
04:27Well, 5 stars.
04:29Don't ask me why I'm dressed as a cop.
04:30Come on, 6 stars.
04:31God, the minigun is amazing.
04:33There's no way they can kill me.
04:35The tanks are starting to show up.
04:37I don't know if I'll be able to do much.
04:39Honestly, they look terrible.
04:40Well, in the end, it wasn't so impossible after all.
04:42Oh, I had never played it before and it really surprised me.
04:46So I'm going to put it in A, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas 2004.
04:50This is the first GTA I tried.
04:52Sorry, taxi driver.
04:53Is this for me?
04:54Look at Los Santos.
04:55It's incredible.
04:57Honestly, it looks a bit bad now.
04:59But back then, this was very realistic.
05:00I need to try the best part of the game.
05:02The cheats.
05:03Up.
05:03Down.
05:04Right.
05:04Activated.
05:05I think you just had to accelerate.
05:08Well, apparently not.
05:10Shall we go?
05:10Yes.
05:12Man, this was my favorite.
05:14Literally, we can go all over the city in a second.
05:16There were also some other really interesting ones, like the one that let you get the jetpack
05:19and the one to make yourself fat.
05:22Yeah.
05:23I don't know why they put this in.
05:24I just remembered there's a chainsaw.
05:27Did I really play this when I was a kid?
05:29Alright, it's time to commit a few crimes and get some stars.
05:31The problem with raising your wanted level by shooting is that it's really easy to die.
05:36But hey, let's trust my aim.
05:39All of you.
05:40Out.
05:40Two stars.
05:41Uh, what is this weapon?
05:43Okay, I think it's better if you don't see it.
05:45A helicopter is coming.
05:46I need to destroy it.
05:48Yes.
05:48Alright.
05:49Four stars.
05:50God, I'm sorry, cops.
05:51Look at how the SWAT are coming down.
05:53It hasn't helped you much.
05:55This is much easier than I expected.
05:57They're barely taking any health from me.
05:59Six stars.
06:00Let's go.
06:00Let's see how long I last.
06:02Am I going to steal this tank?
06:03Yeah.
06:04Don't ask what a helicopter is doing there.
06:06If I shoot backwards, I go much faster.
06:08What incredible physics.
06:09It's literally impossible for them to kill me.
06:13Well, maybe it wasn't that impossible.
06:15This is definitely the most fun I've had so far.
06:17From the aesthetics, the cheats, even the memes, everything is amazing.
06:21So this will be the first one to go in S.
06:23Later in the video, it'll be interesting to see how the next games compare to this one.
06:27But now let's try one that almost nobody knows.
06:29Grand Theft Auto Advance 2004.
06:32It's a Game Boy game that brings back the top-down view from the original GTAs.
06:36But since it came out at the same time as GTA San Andreas, it was completely forgotten.
06:40I don't know why they decided to release it.
06:42I'm sure nobody asked for it.
06:44Nowadays, it's practically impossible to download it.
06:46And from the little information available online, it looks terrible.
06:49So I'm sorry, but I'm glad I don't have to play it.
06:52I expected it could be bad, but not this bad.
06:55It goes straight to D.
06:56Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories 2005.
06:59It's just like GTA 3, but with different characters and better graphics.
07:02We also have the chainsaw, but for some reason when you use it, people go flying.
07:07Yeah, no, don't try to make sense of it.
07:10I'm ready.
07:10So let's get six stars.
07:13Let's go.
07:14God, it looks like I'm using hacks.
07:16It's auto-aiming for me.
07:17Should we take this?
07:18I literally only see cops and they keep popping my tires.
07:21Leave me alone, please.
07:23I'm sick of you guys.
07:24Five stars.
07:25The black FBI cars are here.
07:27They've trapped me.
07:29Run.
07:29Okay.
07:30I managed to get away a little.
07:31I have quite a few grenades, so...
07:33Yeah, six stars.
07:35The tanks are coming for me now.
07:36There's no car for me to get away, man.
07:39This?
07:40Come on, come on.
07:41No, the tank ran over me, surviving at the highest wanted level.
07:44It's impossible.
07:46I think it's pretty underrated.
07:48I'm going to put it in A.
07:50Grand Theft Auto Vice City Stories 2006.
07:52It follows the same idea as the previous one.
07:54Returning to a city we already know, which is Vice City.
07:57But with different characters and a different story, we have a lot of good weapons.
08:01So let's get started.
08:03The minigun doesn't work, but the rifle does.
08:06Two stars for killing a cop?
08:08That's crazy.
08:09Since I'm in the hospital, hearts appear that I can pick up to heal myself, breaking the system.
08:15Six stars.
08:16There's too much police.
08:17I don't know if I'll be able to do much.
08:19I don't even know what I'm doing on a yacht, honestly.
08:21But I keep killing...
08:22God, a tank even came here.
08:24Go up, go up, go up.
08:25Yes.
08:26Oh my god.
08:27Look how fast I'm shooting backwards.
08:29I just blew up a tank.
08:31And I died.
08:32It didn't seem as fun to me as the original Vice City, but it does feel better.
08:36So I'm going to put it in B.
08:38Grand Theft Auto 4 2008.
08:40This time I had already been born.
08:42But I won't tell you what year.
08:44The graphics have taken a big step forward.
08:46And it's great that it's set in New York because it looks incredible.
08:49Look at that.
08:50This is the main game, but there are also episodes from Liberty City.
08:54Two paid expansions that tell the stories of other characters.
08:57Although they're basically the same game, it has some pretty weird physics.
09:01So let's take advantage of that and test them out with some of the most popular cheats.
09:05In theory, if we put the car right here, god.
09:09The swings are terrible.
09:11What if I do it again?
09:13Alright, now it doesn't even accelerate.
09:15Great.
09:16Now I need to see what happens on a motorcycle.
09:19Well, I just went flying.
09:22A couple of hours went by, but I've got all the weapons and I'm ready to commit crimes.
09:27Good.
09:28The explosion looks amazing, or is it just me?
09:31Three stars.
09:32I think it's going to be a bit tough because there are six in GTA 4.
09:35I have to be really careful.
09:37There are too many cops.
09:38I'm almost out of health.
09:40Alright.
09:40I'm dead.
09:41But I think I know how to get the stars.
09:43This is the border that separates one island from another.
09:46And since Americans don't really like it when something crosses their borders, as soon as I do, the cops will
09:51go crazy on me.
09:52Perfect idea.
09:53Let's go.
09:55Yeah, six stars.
09:57I've already got the FBI chasing me.
09:59God, there are cops everywhere.
10:00No, I fell.
10:01Run, get up.
10:02Get in.
10:03Get in.
10:04Alright, we've got an armored truck.
10:06They literally can't hurt me.
10:07This is crazy.
10:08There are even helicopters in the middle of the road.
10:10I'm going to try to escape, but I can't promise anything.
10:13Look at the state of my truck.
10:14No, it broke down.
10:16Well, I have to get out.
10:19Alright.
10:20Hey, why did he finish me off?
10:22I was expecting something worse, but it was the complete opposite.
10:24I'd say this game has something special.
10:27So even to my own surprise, I'm going to put it in S.
10:30Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars 2009.
10:32We're back to the top-down view of the original GTAs, since this was the first one created exclusively for
10:37Nintendo.
10:38The controls are really weird.
10:40I have to move back and forth all the time.
10:42How do they expect me to get through this?
10:44It took me a while and a few deaths to get used to it, but I did it.
10:47So there's only one thing left to do.
10:49Get six stars.
10:51These people are here for a reason.
10:54I'm sorry.
10:55This looks a little weird.
10:57Four stars.
10:59Oh man.
11:00The cars explode in a second.
11:01Please give me six, quick.
11:03Six stars.
11:04The minigun is amazing.
11:06I'm literally at one health.
11:08I can't believe it.
11:09Did I really just die because the flame hit me?
11:12It doesn't have as many things as other GTAs.
11:14But the few things it does have are very interesting.
11:17It goes straight to B.
11:18And the last game, before deciding which is the best.
11:20Grand Theft Auto 5 2013.
11:22I think it's crazy that this game is 13 years old.
11:25Obviously everyone already knows what it's about, so I'm not going to waste time explaining
11:29it.
11:30Let's take this car.
11:31Sorry, man.
11:32I need to find a good place to commit crimes.
11:35This place is a bit weird.
11:37What is this lady doing?
11:38Why did she die from a kick?
11:40Well, I think this new place is perfect.
11:43So, dog?
11:44I'm really bad.
11:45You can't go wrong here.
11:47Yeah, good.
11:48I'm going to take everyone out.
11:49There are a bunch of weapons that I don't even know what they do.
11:52Three stars.
11:53It was easy.
11:54But they took almost half my health.
11:55I have to be careful.
11:58God, I can't stop killing.
12:00Four stars.
12:00I'm almost there.
12:01There are a lot of cops.
12:02This is bad.
12:03This is bad.
12:04I'm dead.
12:05Okay, I have a plan.
12:07This is Fort Zancudo, a secret military base.
12:10I'm going to infiltrate the base, try to steal one of their military planes, and blow everything
12:14up.
12:15Five stars easy.
12:16Let's go.
12:17Yeah, yeah.
12:18Four stars right away.
12:20Where's the plane?
12:21Here, please.
12:23No, but how are they going to launch missiles at me?
12:25Change of plans.
12:26I'm not going to use the plane.
12:28How am I going to get five stars?
12:29By buying something better.
12:31If I don't get them with this, I'll delete my channel.
12:33It looks like a normal car, right?
12:35But if we get in, we can fire missiles.
12:37It's crazy.
12:38I'm sorry.
12:39I have to do it.
12:41It's crazy that you can buy cars with missiles?
12:44Three stars.
12:45This is much easier.
12:46No, they've popped my tires.
12:48I'm also out of missiles, but luckily this car also has a machine gun.
12:53Incredible.
12:53We have one left, please.
12:55It's smoking?
12:56I have to switch cars.
12:58Phew, thank goodness.
12:59I thought I was going to die.
13:01I've been shooting for 15 minutes and I'm still at four.
13:03We need to fix this.
13:05Take that, cops.
13:06Come on, please.
13:08Five stars.
13:08Good.
13:09I think this van is armored, so I don't think anyone will be able to kill me.
13:13Let's see.
13:14If I get out, yes.
13:16Sorry.
13:17I had to make it more interesting.
13:18The fact that you can do practically anything is incredible.
13:22I can't imagine what GTA 6 will be like.
13:24So, to no one's surprise, I put it in S.
13:27Which means now we have three games in the S tier.
13:29But which one of them is the best?
13:31At number three, the one that surprised me the most.
13:33GTA 4.
13:35Now, this leaves it between GTA 5 and GTA San Andreas.
13:38It was a very close call.
13:40But after spending several days playing each of the GTA games, I've decided that the best
13:45of them all is none other than GTA 5.
13:48It's the most complete.
13:49And it's incredible.
13:52Thank you very much for watching this video.
13:54We might have to do it again with GTA 6.
13:56Who knows?
13:57In the meantime, YouTube thinks this will be your next favorite video.
14:00So, click on it.
14:01Come on.
14:01Have a great day.
14:02Have a great day.
