I liked the GTA:SA one, it's fun.
Nice and big, lots of things to do...
I don't like Liberty City, and so I don't like GTA: IV. I never seem to finish any game set there, GTA: III, GTA: LCS and GTA: IV...

I was never real cool with the idea of shooting cops, but IV looked really realistic. They've come a long way from that top playing #II.
I own GTA III, Vice City, and GTA IV. I've played San Andreas, and liked it, for the most part.

I had Vice City but a cousin stole it, I had 3 but I lost it, and I am barrowing SA from a friend.
All of them I liked, but I mostly like SA

I had GTA 3, GTA vice city, GTA San Andreas, and I went to my cousins house to play GTA 4, but, All my GTAs were taken by my other cousins and my cousins GTA 4 was broken by yet another cousin, it really sucks without GTA! but don't feel sad for me, I bought GTA San Andreas for pc, its cousin proofed.

SA was really good and IV was also very good - IV had better graphics but SA had more features....both had equally engaging storylines. Those guys at Rockstar know how to tell a story, that's for sure.

GTA III and GTA IV, never bothered to play SA or Vice on PS2. Rockstar tell a great story and the sheer number of things to do in GTA IV made it an amazingly diverse game.

San Andreas was an amazing game, loved the huge open-world, characters, story, everything. GTA IV was also very good, but it didn't reach the dizzying heights of SA for me. SA has much more to do, and more variety in locations and environments.

San Andreas > Vice City > IV.

I think the new one for the DS is pretty cool, my brother has it and he showed me all the stuff you can do, buying and selling drugs and all kinds of things, waay cool.

I've played all the GTAs including the lesser known GTA:London. The series was at its best pre-GTAIII. Of the post-GTAIII games Vice City is my favorite due to its combination of story and Game play. IV was the single worst GTA ever and Rockstar have even admitted to this fact.

I'm going to gravedig this because I have opinions, plenty strongly held.
IV was the single worst GTA ever and Rockstar have even admitted to this fact.Cite your sources or it never happened.
I've played all GTAs that came out for the X-Box/XBox360 as well as GTA:II for the Dreamcast. Which is to say, I missed Liberty City Stories and whatever other ones came out for PSP or whatever.
The overhead view of II was a classic and lots of fun, but obviously a very limited technology and presentation. I'm sorry to admit, I never beat the game.
GTA:III was a whole new beast back around 2001 when it was fresh. Lots of fun, but I never beat it (although I made multiple attempts, years apart.) It seems to me that at some point, there came one mission or another that was just goddamned impossible to complete and I lost interest, especially after playing later iterations of the game where the controls were considerably tightened-up. It's hard to torture yourself with a tricky mission in a dated game when you know that the controls are flawed. When it's recent current-gen, you will, but if you're just playing the game for sentimentality or whatever, it's hard to stay motivated in that department.
GTA:Vice City had an outstanding soundtrack and the game really benefitted from the focus of trying to recreat 1980s era Miami, Florida. I think I beat the game, but come to think of it I can't actually remember if I did or not. Actually, I'm pretty sure I did...I think.
GTA:San Andreas. The most awesome GTA experience, ever. Graphics weren't up to IV's levels, obviously, but the world was wide-open. You could turn Carl Johnson into any type of gangster you wanted him to be. You could feed him until he hit blimp proportions, or you could hit the gym until he looked like the Terminator. You could have him running around in gang colors, or wearing a pink mohawk and preppy clothes. More girlfriends, more area to explore, more varied-environments, a soundtrack that eventually made me fall in love with just about every genre of music they featured, including country (no small feat, in my case.) I also liked the gang turf wars and having to rush back to an area to beat a rival gang's challenge to a certain zone. CJ had some great one-liners, too, lines that Niko never topped, although Niko's voice acting was a cut above. This, so far, has been the pinnacle of the GTA experience for me. And I beat the game.
GTA:IV. I'll start with the good. Great graphics (although the character models continue to be a little fuzzy and vague, which is unfortunate at this stage of the game) Some outstanding music, but also a bevy of radio channels that I frickin' hated. I thought, similar to GTA:SA, that after repeated listening their songs would grow on me, but none of it ever did. Even on the channels I did like, there were often 1 to 5 songs that I never grew to like, and after a reasonable amount of time spent getting to know them, I just changed the channel whenever they came on. It was nice seeing Ricky Gervais (sp?) in the game, both on TV, and at the comedy club, but for the most part Katt Williams (sp?) annoyed the fuck out of me. I missed the gang turf war minigames that you could do back in GTA:SA. A lot of people probably liked IV best, mainly due to the graphics and the newness of it, but it ultimately did not surpass SA in my book. I beat the game, but so far I haven't played Lost and Damned or Ballad of Gay Tony expansions. I'm waiting until they come out on their own seperate discs. I'm not too excited about Lost and the Damned because biker gangs really don't do it for me. The Ballad of Gay Tony sounds pretty, erm, controversially named, for starters. We'll see.

Storyline? You guys know it was all about jacking a nice ride and waiting to see how many police you could take down

The storyline added to the sense of immersion while doing all those lovely things listed above :p

My favorite always has been and remains Vice City. But don't tell the wife.
