Vice City had the best atmosphere, with radio stations that meshed perfectly.
San Andreas was improved technically, much bigger map (my main gripe about Vice City) and more vehicle and customisation options, but it just didn't have the soul.
I skipped GTA IV, but GTA V was basically a progression of SA. Better graphics, physics, bigger map, more options etc. but still missing that soul. The characters in GTA V were definitely the best though.
Why no GTA or GTA 2?
