hmm

for me it would go

Vice City
GTA III
GTA IV
San Andreas

the last two were really kind of boring for me. I felt that the gangsta theme of SA was already way played out by the time the game came out so the storyline really did not hold me for very long at all.

vice city was and always will be the peak of video games for me. it came out at the end of high school, and it seemed like everything i loved about games growing up + innovation + 80s nostalgia all rolled up together.

I personally think VC & SA were superior to III & IV. I remember the first time playing SA & was amazed by how many things you could do in that game & Vice City has my favorite character in Tommy Vercetti.

San Andreas for me.

[playtetris]

gotta go with san andreas. best map, best vehicles/gameplay (taking the context into account, of course), best music, two player simultaneous mode... it had it all. i still play that shit on occasion.

I dislike Liberty City a great deal, so any game set there always goes on the bottom of the list. I like the wide open spaces where you can just go and do crazy shit, that's why San Andreas is the best. I loved Vice City though, that 80's style always amuses me.

For me it's:

1. GTA3

I got this game the day it came out because I've been following it ever since it was announced. I played not sure what game on the PSx, but it was a sandbox/walk everywhere do anything kind of game, I think it was Driver. I've been looking for a game like that on the PS2 and found GTA3. Played it and was blown away by how amazing it was. I remember rolling down the bridge for the first time, getting out jacking cars, with K-Jah playing it the background. I was literally at how amazing it was. At the time I've never played anything like it. So GTA3 was the most amazing one of them all.

2. GTA:SA

Bigger maps and more things to do. By the time it came out, the whole sandbox game world wasn't that innovative or new so I thought it was good, better then Vice City, but not mind blowing. Because you knew what you were getting into./

3. GTA: Vice City, not very many new things, i thought the map was kinda small, thought it didn't really live up to the hype. Thought it sucked because you couldn't swim.

4. GTA4: Haven't really played it, thought it was okay.

I'm gonna have to agree with your list OP.

[chains5000]

Vice City's the best for me.

[Qwyjibo]

San Andreas.

It had the best variety of gameplay and settings. Once you got out of Los Santos and into the country areas and the other 2 cities, it was an amazing experience. It had some good voice acting and some truly funny moments. The only bad part of the game was that damn friggin god forsaken flying school! I hate flying planes.

Overall:
1. San Andreas
2. Vice City
3. GTA IV
4. GTA III

I think I agree with that. Vice City had the best overall atmosphere which puts it a notch above GTA4.

Vice City clearly has the best selection of music.
