Grand Theft Auto is without a doubt one of the most popular gaming franchises of all time. How have they retained such a high level of success? The game series always seems to stay ahead of the market and to accurately predict what consumers want. It has a total of fifteen titles now, including London 1969, Vice City, San Andreas, Liberty City Stories and Chinatown Wars, and the series is expanding all the time.

At first glance, it might not seem all that different to other video games. It is available for all the major consoles, the story is set in the adventure and action genre, and there is a lot of violence. However, the level of detail makes it really stand out and this is something that gamers really appreciate as being quite unique. Each title is so carefully considered and features missions, sub-plot missions and a great depth of character.
