Going to hop back in to defend GTA IV. I played through it twice. It had it's failings, but I liked it, and was one of the votes that has it in (distant) second. And to belabor my opinion, I like all of these games enough to say that I think they deserve their scores, in spite of the fact there are games I like more than these ones. Analysing and comparing meta is a mostly fruitless task in general. Doing it it with games spread across a 10 year gap is even more difficult. Or supremely easy, depending on how much weight you give your opinion as opposed to the opinions of others. As I suspected ( well, basically knew ) the older games have a much smaller body of reviews as compared to GTA IV as well. That makes it's meta score more impressive.
