The latest incarnation of Grand Theft Auto’s Los Santos was the kind of anarchic open-world pipedream that lovingly-housed all of our inner fantasies of destruction.

Created by Zapruder Pictures, who've also recreated levels from Max Payne and Call of Duty, the team's latest video gives us a real life shot-for-shot remake of the Rockstar classic in the heart of the Spanish capital.
From the skyscraper vistas, street heists, to a couple performing yoga outside the delights of their city apartment, everything is covered, while even CGI has been employed to help deal with the trickery of helicopters and jet planes.
But we’ll cut them some slack. It’s a world created by a machine after all. To see how they did it, click the video at the bottom after you've picked up your jaw from the first.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
