It depends on what you like if like me you like more realism and better graphics and story then GTAIV is for you on the other hand if you like more over the top stuff san andreas is for you as for me i liked GTA IV better

Personally, I like GTA San Andreas much more. The amount skills, weapons, cars, planes/helicopters, boats, hidden packages, etc. is just amazing. Only place I see GTA IV > GTA SA is in story and graphics.

That game is too dated to be enjoyable now.

TC to answer your question, I would say GTA4. It's obviously the most advanced and most up to date game, and you'll have a blast if you don't expect over the top gameplay and something more realistic. I personally think it's the best in the series and the GTA series is my all time favorite.

Well, first of all, you're not going to find many people who disagree with the idea that Vice City >>> San Andreas, but if you want a next-gen console experience, Grand Theft Auto IV is really at the top of that game.

this topic will be locked. if you haven't tried a GTA game before then GTA4 should satisfy you. if you've tried past entries in the series THEN play GTA4, then you'll be unsatisfied

^^^This. Plus GTA4 doesn't even have a tank in it. What kind of GTA game does not have the essential vehicle to cause mayhem in, even the PSP ones had it.

Because big boys play M games. We care about stupid stuff like, the story, gameplay, replayibility, etc. Tanks aren't really only my priorities list for what I want in a game. GTA IV is easily the best in the series (on par with GTA: VC for me) and was one of the best games this year.

I agree, tanks are a really important part of the game. GTAIV not having them is a real dealbreaker for an otherwise better game :roll:

There is plenty things missing in GTA4, but if i were the TC i would get both eventually. I own all the GTA games for Ps2, but GTA4 is still worth owning.

Depends whether you want to have fun or not. If you do, get San Andreas.

Sheesh did I strike a nerve or something? I'm just saying that GTA4 is alright but there's less variety than in San Andreas. Sure the shooting is good and they put in new stuff but it's still not as fun as San Andreas was imo. In San Andreas, you could nearly do anything, drive a tank, an airplane, a fighter jet, go to casinos, use a jetpack(dude, a jetpack.), get a grilfriend, go out to eat, cause mayhem, learn new fighting moves, and so much more. Plus the map was huge in that game and had more variety than GTA4. Sure, maybe the story wasn't all that good but if I had a good time getting there then it was worth it. The story in GTA4 imo was okay but getting through the game was not all that fun(especially the chase missions, you screw up just the tiniest bit you'll most likely have to start over). The graphics were great but what's the point if I'm not having fun with it? I will give GTA4 the combat(gunplay-wise) since it was a huge improvement over San Andreas.

GTAIV has less content, but everything about it is so improved. The missions, storyline, characters, AI, gunplay, handling, soundtrack, city--everything is vastly better in GTAIV, even if they cut out a lot of the extra crap. Not to mention incredible graphics and physics. Plus, there isn't a single mission in GTAIV that pisses me off.

Really? Not one mission? Not even the bank robbing one? Out of all the missions I've played in GTA4 I absolutely hated the bank robbing one.

Imo GTA SA and GTA4 are the best GTA games out so i think you should get both. GTA SA = Quantity and GTA4 = Quality
