Ok, first I want to state that all GTA games are fun and have great features from title to title.  But the only thing is the storyline of San Andreas.  It did have a lot of craziness in the story of CJ (Carl Johnson) from Los Santos on Grove Street, who has come back from hearing that his mom died and get the Grove Str. gang back together and clean up the drug pushers.

CJ goes from help out his brother get back is block and then he ends doing stupid odd jobs and meeting odd people and end up working with the Mountain Cloud Boys (Triads) and doing other dumb government can handle jobs for Mike Toreno (G-Agent).  Then becomes a casino partner with the triads and rob from the Mafia casino not to far from his and manage the rapper Madd Dogg.

After all that controversy he returns home and picks up Sweet (brother of CJ) and then go back to take over the hood like did at the beginning and take out Big Smoke (Homie) and Tennpenny (LS Police/C.R.A.S.H.).  But not only that it didn't really have a point to doing all that just to take over a hood, kill officers, homies and etc...

My point is that GTA3 and Vice City had a better storyline than what San Andreas had, but I hope they have a better storyline for the next GTA for the next-gen consoles.  That's if they still plan on making a next GTA with all the legal battles and controversies.
