On a side note, I'm not sure why people dislike IV so much. It was a much more grounded story, and the controls were hard to master, but I appreciated the former and you could still cause chaos and be crazy if you wanted to. Sure, customization took a step back and no parachutes on helicopters was a big mistake, but nothing like driving though Liberty City, really. As someone who didn't enjoy San Andreas that much, it was very cool, and impressive back when it first released. You could argue it got old fast, but at that point there wasn't simply anything of a similar scope on the HD machines. 

I'm going to guess a lot of people on here were not fans of being asked to come bowling? :D

Seems a small bit bandwagony to me though I mean objectively to put GTA1/2/London above any of the later games is very strange, you could say that GTA4 had a weak story... but in comparison to a story given to you buy a row of phones in a single paragraph of text? Could just be a case that people didn't play GTA1/2 maybe?

Obviously, comparing a game with massive age difference is never easy. I enjoyed GTA1 and GTA2 a lot, more so than any other later GTA game, it was just mindless fun I had a blast with them and once GTA got serious they lost me. GTA IV is a prime example of a game that wants to be too much and doesnt pull it off, instant turn off for me (96% on metacritic, I have no clue how that happend). I havnt even tried GTA V because of it, I will some day though.
