Favorite GTA Game??

I am potentially picking up one sometime in the near future, and I am just curious as to which GTA is your favorite, and if you so desire, why.

NOTE: I couldn't care less for multiplayer, I'm mainly in it for the story.

Vice City. That game was awesome.

San Andreas was great from a gameplay standpoint, but it had nothing on Vice City in terms of writing and style.

I still play the first trilogy to this day. I loved them all. My favorite: GTA 3. Everytime I play it it takes me back to when I first was able to explore the entire city and do what I wanted. And it still has the best radio skits. (Not the music, that's Vice City)

As for the story, I liked GTA 4 and the episodes the most. They are the most solidly written of them all.

You didn't need to make another thread ya'know...

Depends

On what there is available to do: SA

On feel and radio stations: VC

On story: 4

vice city but i love them all.

vc was just so cool for representing miami in 1986. it really was the most dangerous city in the world at that time.

there is a great documentary on netflix called cocaine cowboys if you want to see the reality of 1980's miami. people were getting gunned down in the streets with automatic weapons. crazy stuff.

its the same result everytime. vice city will always win. and deservedly so.

SA is the best because you can swim. Which is odd because it goes against the universal rule.

Vice City and San Andreas are the best of the GTA games imho. I enjoyed GTA3 and Chinatown Wars as well. GTA4 was a terrible disappointment to me now in retrospect.

San Andreas by a few hundred miles. I haven't played China Town Wars or GTA3. I really liked how alive the city was in GTA4, but I didn't like how the game played out, jumping from different groups of characters (mission hubs) so quickly, nor did I like Niko. For someone that talks about loyalty so much, he seems to turn on former allies quite easily. The characters in SA were so much more enjoyable, & I liked how large & diverse the map was, though I'd love to see a game similar to SA in theme but in a GTA4-like map.

Also SA had a lot more character customization, I'm amazed they removed it.

Vice city

GTA4 and San Andreas imo

GTA 2, wasn't on the list, that was my favoritelamprey263

that was my least favourite. Even GTA London was better :P

san andreas for me, it's my favorite game of all time

I like IV the most. I like that they added in some seriousness. I don't like the stupidity of the PS2 games.

Vice City for the story and atmosphere. San Andreas for the world and content. III was a good all-around game and IV, to me, was just a joke. I hated it.

Vice City rocked! The music, the scarface story, the weapons and the bikes. I dont dislike any GTA game but Vice City was the most enjoyable imo.

San Andreas easy.

Vice City was the first one I played, and it was awesome, actually might be my favorite. But just the amount of things to do with San Andreas, plus the improved gameplay (climbing, swimming, shooting etc.) made it better for me. If all of that was in Vice City, and the map was as big as San Andreas I'd say that.

GTA IV is really really close to being my favorite...Only including the Episodes from Liberty City, without those the game was great, but even GTA III (for its time) was better, or just equaled it. The one thing, however, Rockstar needs to do with DLC next time, is implement the new weapons, vehicles and features in with the original game as well.

GTA III was awesome for its time, but its hard to pick as a favorite if you started with Vice City or SA or IV.

Of course, the multiplayer in IV was a blast with friends, but the setup was horrible.

I really never got into the original or London. With 2 I really started getting into it and 3 totally got me into it.

Red Dead Redemption :P

Red Dead Redemption :P

Yeah Grand Theft Horse is also up there.:P

Vice City and Vice City Stories (mainly for the Music, Atmosphere, and setting)

If they make another game in Vice City I would buy it instantly as long as it is in the 80s.

It would be cool if they had Liberty City in 1978.

I could never really get into GTA. I always thought the graphics looked.....N64ish. Then GTA 4 came around and the graphics actually fit with the game. DudeNtheRoom

Vice City was awesome

IV for the zero friction cars.

There is just something with GTA 3 that like sooo bad. I just cant put my finger on it...

It's my favourite GTA to this day.

Vice City is my favourite game of all time from more than 20 years of gaming. Video Killed The Radio Star
