Going to classes, making friends, and getting into teenage hijinks is fun, but the story itself was one of Rockstar’s best works. Seeing the injustices of the school, Jimmy decides to change it all, leaving a lasting impression on anyone who played the game. Players take control of Jimmy, who transfers to Bullworth Academy since his mother is on vacation. Thus, the company chose to focus on a game where you couldn’t kill anyone, Bully, which is still a popular title today. It looked bad when every game seemed to encourage killing and maiming innocent civilians. In the past, Rockstar was the subject of heated debates on whether games are harmful to children. It is probably the most fun to run a business in the GTA games that include this feature, and we wish it would continue to be available, but this feature appears infrequently. Thus, you’ll have to kill, rob, and intimidate your way to becoming the undisputed king of Vice City. While this game allows players to buy properties and become successful businessmen, rival gangs won’t just allow you to step into their territory. This seems straightforward, but Tommy must do a lot more to survive. Tommy works for the mafia and is tasked with taking over Vice City. Ray Liotta ( Goodfellas) voices Tommy Vercetti, one of the most beloved characters in GTA history. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was the title where Grand Theft Auto games started moving away from just being rampage simulators and gave players a reason to feel like a badass. 10) Grand Theft Auto Vice City (2002) Image via Rockstar Games The soundtrack was also great and players were encouraged to make choices for cosmetic reasons rather than simply making their cars faster. Players could customize their cars, use powers, and become nearly unstoppable.

In 2001, Grand Theft Auto hit the 3D world in Grand Theft Auto III and players took control of an iconic character, Claude. 13) Grand Theft Auto III (2001) Image via Rockstar Games Here, we’ve ranked the best games Rockstar has made.
