Yeah I'll probably only get one, so in your opinion which is best (Ill buy the one with most votes)?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Ha ha I guess.. I'm sure I'll get a second slapping for this though, but aren't they all kinda the same..? I've never played one but it seems to me they're just sandbox games with a little story thrown in, so is there a point buying two sandboxes.. Or is my perception completely false?
GTA3 for its day was mind blowing - however that was years ago now, and in the two sequals that followed, it was improved upon massivly. I loved GTA3, however after GTA:SA i couldn't go back to it. If you intend to get all 3 (which i would strongly recomend) go for this one first - imo it has the coolest city of pretty much any sandbox game to date and some really memorable moments. Chatterbox is also the best radio station EVER (including real life). Vice city is really fun and probably has the strongest story (think scarface parody) and most vibrant art direction (again, tacky 80's ftw!) and Vice city has some really nice areas too. Also, Vice City has some really fun property based jobs, which were for some reason scaled back in SA
If you're only gonna get one though, it has to be SA imo. In terms of scale it dwarfes the other two (3 cities, a mountain, redneck forests AND a desert), it has Samuel Jackson in it, planes take on a whole new level, there are multyplayer elements, character customisation takes on a whole new level (u can be fat, skinny, buff, whatever), you can swim and has gang turf wars...Some people felt there was too much to do in this game and that it thus lost focus however these people are wrong imo.
But yeah, as has been said - get all three - they are gaming histroy, and amongst the best games of the last generation, if not ever, and i'm sure u can get them really cheap in decent condition
Thanks for the comprehensive reply, this is exactly what I needed. I'll definitely get San Andreas then, thanks!GTA3 for its day was mind blowing - however that was years ago now, and in the two sequals that followed, it was improved upon massivly.

I would strongly recommend GTA: SA because it is such a larger game and the characters are really well done! Who else cared about what happened to our friend Carl Johnson?
Vice City and San andreas are both pretty much equal in my opinion.
GTA3 isnt as good, but still great
What an obscure debate, this is too hard. But, San Andreas is the obvious choice because of it's huge environment and polish graphics. *Clicks "Vote San Andreas."* *Views Results* Yep, San Andreas.
