All Rockstar Games, Ranked

我们都知道 侠盗 和 赤色亡灵 as mega franchises developed by Rockstar Games. But did you know that the studio has over 40 titles under its belt? Having been active since the ‘90s, it’s hardly surprising that they have a staggering catalog of games, many of which have spawned into genre-defining franchises. 

Today, we’re ranking all Rockstar Games released to date. Sit tight, this one’s going to be a wild ride.

42. Austin Powers: Oh, Behave! and Austin Powers: Welcome to My Underground Lair!

These are minigame action games adapted from the Austin Powers franchise that, unfortunately, performed devastatingly poorly. 

41. 伊芙·克尼维尔

埃维尔·基尼沃尔的 wasn’t any better, adapting the legendary motorcycle long jumps and sick rolls of America’s beloved stuntman, Evel Knievel. 

40. Grand Theft Auto Advance

尽可能 侠盗 has been remarkable in defining the open-world action-adventure gaming genre, 侠盗猎车手前进 simply doesn’t cut it as a story or gameplay worth playing. 

39. Grand Theft Auto: London, 1961

侠盗猎车手：伦敦，1961 falters in the same vein, with terrible visuals and gameplay.

38. Grand Theft Auto: London, 1969

侠盗猎车手：伦敦，1969, on the other hand, may cement you in the late ‘60s era. However, it remains an outdated expansion with awful camera angles.

37. Beaterator

Moving on to another title, a music mixing game called 打浆机. While it's pretty fun coming up with your own music pieces using hundreds of loops, it simply doesn’t match up to competing music software out there. 

36。 紧急状态

Rockstar Games' 紧急状态 beat ‘em up may bring full-blown chaos, violence, and naughtiness, but its control and camera angles don’t cut it. 

35. Wild Metal

The action game, 野生金属, makes you feel like you’re truly piloting a tank. However, controls continue to detract from fully enjoying the game. 

34. Manhunt II

不幸， Manhunt II, a stealth game, failed to live up to its predecessor, maintaining that almost sadistic but thrilling level of killing violently. 

33. Smuggler’s Run II: Hostile Territory

Smuggling off-road in Smuggler’s Run II: Hostile Territory is pretty fun. If only the missions were longer and more diverse. 

32. Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City

玩得很开心 侠盗猎车手：自由城的情节, with its engaging writing and rewarding gameplay. 

31.侠盗猎车手XNUMX

After the first entry, it’s a shame that 侠盗猎车手II remained largely the same: still fun, but leaving you craving for more. 

30. Midnight Club II

Although the racing in 午夜俱乐部II is quite tough, it’s ultimately a blast, capturing a high sense of speed and near-authentic handling. 

29. Smuggler’s Run

走私者的逃亡 almost makes smuggling an honest job, with its solid handling, smooth controls, and commendable physics engine.

28. Midnight Club: Street Racing

午夜俱乐部：街头赛车 offers a short and sweet journey among notorious street racers vying for first place. 

27. 侠盗猎车手

最快的 侠盗 game was far from perfect, with relatively boring things to do. All you do is drive around committing crimes that eventually grow on you. 

26.荒野大镖客：亡灵噩梦

Rockstar Games definitely struck gold with the idea of tossing zombies into the beautiful Old, Wild West. Unfortunately, the story and combat in 荒野大镖客：亡灵梦魇 needed more time in the oven. 

25. Red Dead 在线模式

Perhaps it’s the huge success of 侠盗在线 那使 红死在线 feel like a letdown, with mostly empty maps and no more content updates.

24. Midnight Club: Los Angeles

所有之中 午夜俱乐部 冠军， 洛杉矶 nailed it the most. Whether it’s the story, characters, or music, everything feels complete and nearly perfect. 

23.侠盗猎车手：自由城故事

Having launched on the PlayStation Portable (PSP), the scale and vibrance of the map and things to do in 侠盗猎车手：自由城故事 are definitely impressive. 

22. Rockstar Games Presents: Table Tennis

Rockstar Games has also tried its hand at a table tennis simulation. And while Rockstar Games 呈献：乒乓球 is stylish, it may be a bit too simplistic for some pro players.

21. 荒野大镖客左轮手枪

The first venture in the 赤色亡灵 系列是 红死亡左轮手枪, and it certainly didn’t disappoint, chasing bandits on horseback. 

20. Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony

侠盗猎车手IV：盖伊·托尼的民谣 may have been the update to GTA IV. However, it still played a lot like the base game, save for some story updates. 

19. Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned

侠盗猎车手IV：失落与诅咒 was the better expansion, adding more content, not just to the story but also to gameplay. 

18. Midnight Club III: DUB Edition

Next on our ranking of all Rockstar Games is Midnight Club III: DUB Edition, a pretty fast and chaotic racer, with unpredictable AI. 

17.侠盗猎车手：罪恶都市故事

It’s a wonder how 侠盗猎车手：罪恶都市的故事 gets swept under the rug, given its prolific writing, which is entirely entertaining from start to finish.

16. 勇士队

Another beat ‘em up Rockstar game to check out is 勇士, adapted from a movie of the same name. As you might expect, the story is engaging, with similarly repetitive but satisfying combat.

15. 追捕

Sneaking up on enemies and slashing them to death has never felt as good as in 男模. Rockstar truly doubled down on the dark and gloomy.

14.马克斯·佩恩

关于最好的部分 马克思·佩恩 is the bulletstorm you engage in right off the bat, and it has never grown old across the series’ run.

13.侠盗猎车手：唐人街大战

在你知道之前， 侠盗猎车手：唐人街战争’ story is over. But you’ll have had the time of your life throughout its runthrough.

12.侠盗猎车手在线

Although the missions in 侠盗在线 grow on you, there’s something to love about the lack of structure to playthroughs. You never know where you’ll end up or what you’ll find there.

11. Max Payne II: The Fall of Max Payne

Max Payne II: The Fall of Max Payne improved on its predecessor with more realistic visuals, smoother gameplay, and an even more exciting story.

10。 欺负

欺负 hasn’t been everyone’s cup of tea. But there’s no denying Rockstar’s charm, their touch of humor, and petty crimes. You just might be left wishing for more shootouts.

9。 侠盗猎车手iii

While buggy and aged, 侠盗猎车手III remains an impressive launch, giving you a sprawling city to dodge traffic, cause chaos, and experience car explosions.

8. Max Payne III

Max Payne III is the peak of the series, with its twisted and engrossing narrative and satisfying shooting mechanics. 

7。 侠盗猎车手：副城

Among the ranking of all Rockstar Games, you’ll probably remember 侠盗猎车手：罪恶都市. Sure, it may have aged now, but it did add lots of new characters, a fresh story, and fun exploration.

6. 黑色洛杉矶

你会找到 LA Noire的 an odd duck among all Rockstar Games. Rather than commit crimes, you’re an LAPD detective solving cases. Although the 1947 Los Angeles world is immersive, it isn’t quite as free to explore as GTA or Red Dead.

5。 侠盗猎车手：圣安地列斯

侠盗猎车手：圣安地列斯 is widely known as one of the best Rockstar Games. From the map to the story, you’ll be well-entertained, with strong dialogue and unending exploration. 

4。 侠盗车手四

发布时， 侠盗猎车手IV dug deeper into more technical immersion and storytelling. The visuals looked stunning, and even the combat was intensely satisfying.

3。 Red Dead Redemption

By far, the Wild West world of 红色死亡救赎 is the best way to experience the life of an outlaw. It simply is too beautiful, nailing the atmosphere, satisfying shooting, and heartwarming story. 

2。 侠盗猎车手V

侠盗自动垂直, on the other hand, is the latest entry in Rockstar Games’ biggest franchise. And this time, the studio created more profound storylines that played satirical takes on contemporary America. The open world feels alive, with limitless places to visit and things to keep busy with.

1. Red Redemption II

毫无疑问， Red Redemption II ranks in first place among all Rockstar Games to date. Its predecessor has aged quite a bit, so the sequel is the best way to experience Arthur Morgan’s life on the run. Not only does the story grip your heartstrings, but the world comes alive with wildlife and bustling towns. It feels like you’ve been transported to the West, paying the price for crime and betrayal within your ranks.
