This as a memorable mission for a couple of reasons. It’s the foundation of what would become so prominent in GTA V, and at the time, it was a mission that demonstrated Rockstar’s ability to do more than simplistic ‘go here, kill him’ missions. The Job is just the culmination of a series of related missions where Tommy has to recruit his team and plan the bank heist. One of the earliest examples of Rockstar quenching its thirst for good old fashioned bank heists is The Job from Vice City. However, GTA V didn’t start this, far from it. GTA V is all about making money by stealing it, introducing heists in both the story and the online component.
After killing him, which you can do by throwing him out of the window, you then make your getaway in true Hollywood action star style, by jumping out of the window and parachuting down onto a moving getaway vehicle. You begin by parachuting on top of the building your mark is in, and you then have to fight your way down to the floor he’s hiding on. However, here you go about things differently. It’s a straightforward goal that Grand Theft Auto has featured many, many times. The mission is simple – kill your target.
Rockstar is capable of making some excellent mission sequences that take us on a thrill ride in the course of a single task, and the mission Dropping In from GTA IV‘s expansion, The Ballad of Gay Tony, is a prime example. Grand Theft Auto V, in particular, has done this, with its trip to North Yankton. It’s a great experience, and one that doesn’t only strengthen ties between the events of the Grand Theft Auto III trilogy of games, but also gave us hopes at the time, that future games would do the same thing. The main draw here is the chance to fly out of the already massive San Andreas, and visit a totally different city, one we’ve become very fond of. The mission itself isn’t all that amazing in terms of mechanics, and is more of a shoot out.
