Best Grand Theft Auto Game

[Starscream]

It's going to be a tough one for me to decide. I'm currently going through Vice City again and will make my choice once I relive this one. At that point I will have the latest 4 games fresh in my mind and can make a decision.

GTA 4 obviously looked the best, but was that enough? I think the story of some of the others drew you in a bit more than GTA4 did.

GTA IV brought great mechanics and a graphical style to the game that feels really awesome, but I think the best overall experince iswon by San Andreas. San Andreas was funny, crazy and fast paced, and I caught myself several times wishing there wass a San Andreas with IV's physics and mechanics.

Cause SA fun, even when we were just jerking around not on missions, while IV is a more serious game. I guess rockstar heard my prayers, cause V will bring back some of the things that imo made SA so fun. Looking at the first trailer we can see houses for sale, planes, etc. If they are really trying to pack the best of San Andreas and IV togheter in V Im a definitelly gonna love it.

I agree with Runo.

From the little I've played GTAIV, I thought it was OK.
It was pretty fun at first, but quickly became a bore to me.
Graphically it was alright and the city felt really alive when you turned up the vehicle density.

At first I thought it was pretty awesome having that phone to call and interact with the various NPCs.
I was so wrong.

My favorite will have to be GTA: SA with GTA3 being a close second.
Had a lot of fun in multiplayer in SA too.

I'm still playing through Vice City, (second time) but I'm going to go ahead and cast my vote. Combined with the good story, the voice acting of Ray Liotta and the 80's theme, I can't resist picking Vice City as my favorite GTA game.
