Grand Theft Auto: China Wars is widely considered one of the best games to release on the Nintendo DS. Unfortunately, the game never really does a lot with it except remind Huang that he didn't have to work a day in his life before. Huang Lee - Grand Theft Auto: China Wars Huang Lee's story had potential, being the spoiled son of a betrayed Triad leader. We say "was" because, by the time the events of Grand Theft Auto III comes around 3 years later, Toni seems like a shell of his former self. All the while, he tries his best to impress his mother, all of which was great in Liberty City Stories. He's also got a bit of a noble side in time, helping keep Salvatore Leone in check while he tries to stay out of prison himself. The best thing about Toni Cipriani is that you see him rise through the ranks of the Leone Mob Family. Toni Cipriani - Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories It's sad seeing Toni reduced to what he is in GTA III. The game was exclusive to the PlayStation Portable on its launch year before it was ported over to the PlayStation 2 the year after. Not only is Vance one of the few "good guys" to become a playable character in the series, but he also happens to be featured in the little-known Vice City Stories. Vance is an army veteran who finds himself forced to live a life of crime to pay for the hospital bills of his brother. Victor Vance is one of the lesser-known GTA protagonists. He's a guy who's just trying to get by but almost always gets screwed over by someone else. Victor Vance - Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories Vince's story is a sad one. It's as if Rockstar wanted gamers to project themselves onto Claude, so he was a silent protagonist who always had a mean smug face that won't flinch regardless of what you do. The design choice was probably intentional. Claude, as he would later be named, is a blank slate. Unfortunately, the protagonist was far from memorable. It was what turned GTA from a series of games with tons of potential to what is one of the most influential and enduring franchises in video game history. Grand Theft Auto 3 is considered the turning point for the series. Claude Speed - Grand Theft Auto 3 By the end of GTA III, everyone wants Claude dead. Should Rockstar Games ever want to circle back to an older Grand Theft Auto game, we're hoping that the studio goes back to GTA Advance to do Mike a bit more justice. In these few instances, we see him questioning the jobs given to him or how safe someone is while in the custody of the Cartel, which shows that, deep down, Mike isn't as bad as the players make him out to be. There were also times when we see Mike show more depth. He even kills a longtime friend of his after he betrays him. He goes out of his way to take care of any job given to him and he's not above avenging the deaths of his bosses. However, of the little that we know of Mike, his loyalty stands out. Mike - Grand Theft Auto Advance It'll be interesting to see how well Mike would look and fare in a more fleshed-out role in a modern GTA game.ĭue to how the game is designed, Mike, similar to Claude, suffers from a lack of personality. You may have been able to choose from one of eight characters to play as, but all of them were identical except for their hair and pants. In fact, the characters were largely forgettable. The first game, in particular, was not as fleshed out as the more recent entries. In a series as great and as memorable as Grand Theft Auto, you can't exactly blame the earlier games for not measuring up to the later titles.
