San Andreas. They took themselves too seriously with GTAIV and also reduced freedom a lot. Not to mention how shitty the optimization is.

If I'd had to choose one, I'd pick Vice City though.

I agree fully. Vice City had the atmosphere and story I like more. I still prefer San Adreas' gameplay more for swimming alone, however. I go and forth with the two. As for GTA IV, it was okay but lacked freedom by a lot. It was a huge downgrade from what the series was always suppose to be since day one, a quest for player freedom.

Fun fact about the Vice City radio.
on one of the stations (I forget which) a young boy named CJ calls in about his gang.
I played vice city after san andreas so I thought that was funny as hell.
I cant seem to find a link to prove this, but I remember hearing it at least once. He was calling in during an interview of some rapper I think it was.

+1 - GTA 4 was infected by Microsoft / Annoying buggy copy protection / Forced social networking / Graphic card memory hog / Released early with bugs, aka destroyed so much the cracked/ripped version actually works 20x better and the purchased copies get returned to the store...

I like San Andreas map, but I love the mechanics and seriousness of GTA 4. I hope they maintain the grittiness, although I don't mind if they have fun with it.

I never got it right, haven't finished the game because of it, NEVER COMPLETED HIGH SCHOOL CAUSE OF IT, LOST THE LOVE OF MY LIFE BECAUSE OF IT, KILLED MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS BECAUSE OF IT, SENT TO HELL FOR IT, but yeah actually never beat it...

GTA II and London 1969.
Serious while not trying to be all touchy feely as in GTA IV and fun as hell. I couldn't have much fun with Vice City, and III was too clunky (i guess it was the 2D/3D change), San Andreas was great, and had much more freedom than IV. Would be nice to see some features from the first ones and SA be brought back to V, if at all possible.

GTAIV. Shooting mechanics felt better, i prefer the car handling of IV and the physics and all that shit. Don't forget about Multiplayer (Online and LAN!).
Though Games for Windows Live and all nonsense that sucks hard.

Vice City was fun. San Andreas might be the better game if the wilderness section was smaller and less mountainous. So much time driving around hills that my car can't climb or dead space where nothing ever distracts you from seeing the same patch of green.

For me the best is still GTA III. Vice was fun but for me better city and atmoshpere was in 2001 Liberty City...For me ideal size to riding without a purpose. Also it has great mod making ALL cars in this game in HD version by OnePiece. Just search in Google and go find yourself.
And if I must choose between GTA:SA and GTA IV I preffer more IV, because that "gangsta" style is not for me and it was too huge map to riding.

Even though I've never played San Andreas, I like it more than GTA IV. .__.

Andreas for sure. GTA4 is one of the most boring games ive ever played and I've played Desert Bus
