There Is NO Other GTA Like This One [GTA Advance Lore Explained]

Without the voice acting, the radio or the hype, there's one Grand Theft Auto almost nobody remembers. It came out on the exact same day as San Andreas, on a Game Boy Advance cartridge about the size of a single song, and it was forgotten almost instantly. But behind the pixels is one of the darkest stories Rockstar ever handed to anyone: a murder mystery, forty one missions long. Liberty City, 2000. One year before GTA 3, two small time criminals have almost saved enough money to leave town for good. Then a car blows up at Callahan Point, and Mike is left with no partner, no money and one question. Who killed Vinnie? In this video we go through the entire story of GTA Advance, every single story mission in order, as an investigation. We collect the evidence, check every suspect from the Mafia to the Yakuza, keep count of every plot hole, and meet familiar faces from GTA 3 one year before Claude ever showed up: 8-Ball, King Courtney and Asuka Kasen. You'll also learn how three different studios tried to make this game, why it lost the release day battle to San Andreas, what it quietly explains about GTA 3, and why its story might be the first draft of a much more famous GTA.
