#2 Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
It’s usually a tossup between Vice City and San Andreas when you ask someone which GTA game is the best in the series. But let’s go with the older-gen version for the purposes of this list, since it could benefit more from a modern makeover.
After first moving into true 3D with Grand Theft Auto 3, the series really started to get a sense of its character and voice in Vice City, which starred former mobster Tommy Vercetti and a motley and colorful supporting cast. In GTA’s reimagining of 1986 Miami, you cruise around in neon-lit city full of jobs, and triggers, to pull. It’s a fantastic game with a fantastic soundtrack that features Megadeth, Talk Talk, Kool & the Gang, and Michael Jackson.
But like the others on this list, it simply doesn’t hold up graphically now that we’ve had Grand Theft Auto V. Instead of going for V’s ultra-realistic look, though, a Vice City remaster now probably should look more along the lines of Saints Row The Third.
