Not a poll, because I'd miss some out and well it's just not that sort of question. We can include sub-missions too.

I've not decided on my all time favourite yet, which I'll think about today.

Some to ponder;
GTA III - executing the guy leaving the nightclub, before he gets to his mansion. Loved this one because it could be performed differently each time. And those crazy mafia drivers!

Any of the RC sub missions

VC - Cop Land. One of the factors that bumf up the difficulty anywhere in GTA land is being heavily wanted by the cops. It's frustrating but fucking great fun.

VC - Sir, Yes Sir! Steal the tank, attack the army column. Another one which I've completed differently every time. Love the little touch where if you leave your car parked in their way they'll drive it to the side.

VC - Boomshine. I love all this mission but the last part especially, try and drive the patriot under the influence of Phil's lethal booze.

VC - one of the dirt track levels, on the Sanchez. Made more difficult due to an enemy bike gang harrassing you, which we found to be more fun if you fucked off the race and just lured these guys out into the city. They never give up!

III - The baseball fight in the park, similar to the one above but there's a lot more gang members. The best way is to leave the park and lure them all out into the big city.

VC - the kickstart points stadium mission which I preferred to the SA one because of the longer time limit.

VC - the hash voodoo lady missions, I loved all these

III - picking up the dropped gold bars, made great because the more gold you picked up the heavier your truck became. Genius.

VC - kill the jury. Simple but one of my faves.

SA - destroy the weed. With the flamethrower!

there's so many more i just can't recall right now. I've only played VCS twice and LCS once so I'm struggling to remember any great ones from those games.

I hated that weed/flamethrower one. It took me forever to find the weed and now I have to shoot a helicopter down?

My favorite SA one was the casino heist. I actually fell off the roof at the very end going for the parachute, but was just as happy to go through it all again.

SA - Just Business, Reuniting the Familes and about a fifth of the final mission - shooting at the bikes and cops while Sweet/Big Smoke drives around. Also, any of the ones that involve racing through San Fierro on a bike.

VC - the biker one where you had to rack as high a wanted level as possible

VCStories, the zombies in the mall games.

my favorite SA moment was when I fell out of a plane during some mission and CJ gives a quiet "oh shit"

SA - destroy the weed. With the flamethrower!

i cant think of any missions in particular (ive only really played vice city and sanandreas) but i love the sniper type missions

I've got a love/hate thing going on with KILL THE GUY ON THE MOTORCYCLE missions, which I normally try to beat by running over GUY instead of shooting him up, and which almost never works.

^ at high speed, natch.

I loved the destroying the weed mission. It was sort of tedious in terms of gameplay, but I liked it as a plot point and thought Peter Fonda was good in that scene. I don't think I ever played it a second time though.
