Celebrate nearly 25 years of one of the most iconic open world video games of all time by learning how the series has evolved.

(I record all of my own footage and need to purchase several old games for the footage) This video in particular took me longer than any project I've ever worked on. I put a ton of passion and effort into this documentary - but even so, there are bound to be errors. Please feel free to let me know in the comments if you spot one! Now sit back, grab a drink and enjoy the ENTIRE History of GTA!
