Ahh, I remember '04. The epic battle between Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Halo 2.

Now the battle is a bit different, and I guess the responses depend on which forum you go to. If you went to Gamespot, no way in hell would Mario Kart be more liked by the community than Grand Theft Auto, although that seems to be the case here.

We have quite a battle here...

I'm sure many people's opinions will change once they've actually played GTA IV.

I'm fine with everyone saying that they enjoy Mario Kart more and GTA just isn't their thing, but to try and argue that Mario Kart is a better game....well "lol" kind of sums it up for me.

Very few people have called one a "better game" than the other because it's stupid to compare quality cross-genre.  Mario Kart is an arcade game.  Grand Theft Auto is a sandbox game.  Mario Kart should be compared in quality and features to other arcade games, and Grand Tehft Auto should be compared to the 6 3D GTA games before it which all play the same...

What this topic is about is which you have the most fun playing.
