I was wondering which GTA do you think is the best so far. I've played all the GTAs except for Chinatown Wars (coz I don't own an NDS).
I'm undecided between San Andreas and GTAIV.

San Andreas was cool because:
1-can edit the main character expansively (anyway you like)
2-Huge huge map
3-Got BMX
4-And the gang territorial concept was good

GTAIV was cool because:
1-NIKO BELLIC!!!! lovable Mo'fo' with an attitude
2-Can surf the net and got cellphone
3-Maintaining relationship was tedious and fun
4-Gripping storyline

mmm.. i think all the gta series best... the game play evolve from time to time.. so i still think all of it best.. hahaha... even the first one is oso best.. hahaha

imo san andreas ... you can literallys steal, boat, car,airplane and best of all , your character won`t drown when he falls by accident into the river/sea. ,and skydiving,minus parachute

gta: SA hands down is the best for me.

why?
1. the storyline. nothing can go wrong when you have Samuel L Jackson as one of your voice actor.

2. the concept. the game is HUGE. i did got sidetracked for MONTHS before continuing the story.

3. the soundtrack!! it's awesome! 90's gangsta rap, G-funk, alternative/rock. everything is in there.

1st GTA .. u can roll over the group of people wearing yellow shirt if not mistaken . huhuhuhu

To me, GTA2 will always have a special place in my heart. That was the first GTA I played and it was on the PSOne. Then I worked my way into playing all the previous GTAs before that.

2.Agreed. It took me almost half a year to get 100% completion (including graffiti, taking photos, stunt jumps etc.)

3.Soundtrack-wise, I think Vice City Stories takes the cake. Maybe coz I enjoy 80's music

pc version nice, cause got all the mods that can be downloaded ... including some really makes no sense mod ...


wtf !?

to me its gta3, because it brought the series into the next gen at the time, and it was simply amazing. i only played gta 3 for most of 2002....like no joke, other games all i lazy to play except that. i love 4 alot too, but it doesnt have that charm.

yeah i missed out on SA, cause i didnt like it too much, i still prefer gta3. THAT was amazing.

one thing bout SA, got alot of extra and cool feats and its really huge la the game. but i hope they do release SA on the next gens soon.

i already tried all gta games except for gta 1,gta london.only try gta2 on ps1

the best i think
gta sa
can modify car .that was cool,a bmx.and the city was really huge,and i like gta sa more than gta4 because there was a bit like jungle place.i remembered gta3 and vice city map,but gta4 and gta sa urm..its too large,can't remember,gta chinatown also very2 big

best music - gta vice city,gta sa also not bad

best gameplay - gta chinatown wars?cn do many many things such as hot-wiring car,

gta4 is real and superb graphic but overall.gta san andreas is the best !!

GTA3 was OK, but looking back I don't like the main character (Claude), he doesnt have an attitude or the slightest moral conscience like Tommy Vercetti, CJ or Niko.

Yeah, it would be fun to have them remake SA for the current gen console, but I think that is highly unlikely. What we can hope is that they make a new GTA with SA's great features

agree.but the 1st dunno.nver play

i hope they make gta:sa stories on psp or port from ps2 to psp .sure psp sale gonna get higher

yeah.. the first one can be said the best at that time.. it's a revolutionary in gaming scene. it's sick and addicted so hard ! i played it everyday.. day n night.. hahahaha.. the way they do it, it's awesome !

I guess for me both SA and Vice City is my most memorable. SA was due to the amount of things you could do and Vice City has a very special atmosphere to it, most probably because it was based in Miami.

Vice City,because of the nostalgic memories-the best radio station(can pawn all gta) remember the interview with ex-GI moviestar that end up with the moviestar shoot dead the radio DJ-Got RPG in weapon line-up

Yes, Vice City was special because it was set in a Miami-like city. I remember doing drive by shooting along the beaches To me Vice City has that Scarface feel to it. (read:Tommy Vercetti)

Vice city... for the great soundtrack since it was the stuff i grew up with

Hurm,
All GTA games are definitely great, but if you are asking for the best,
I'd go with SA.
GTA4 are way.. way.. too realistic, the graphics and story are great! but somehow, causing chaos and mayhem in the city feels.. a bit.. boring.
In SA, I'd always parachute down from the highest building, it's so Fun'tertaining.. ngahahaha
Of course, the gang war system! I'd invade the other gang territory, I'd conquer it, and just wait for them to invade.
Well, I never did gave any attention toward the radio stuff, that crappy stuff always blurt out both crappy argument and crappy songs.
CJ or Niko Bellic? Niko ftw.

Right! I remember the parachute thing. Waaayy cool. Lets not forget the jetpack. But I kinda miss playing 2 player mode with my friend and wreak havoc upon the city, where I would drive and my friend would shoot. Ahh, the good old days.
And yes, definitely Niko Bellic

yeah...i love Niko Bellic...damn cool guy

honestly niko is great with all the cheesy move in the strip club.. lol.. all in all i love carl since can really dress him up the way i want it to be.. and not to mention the gameplay is hell lot longer and the map is way way bigger... i can hijack lots of vehicle.. even a plane and jet pack damm If there is next gta i would love to see something like SA ...
