Things I Hate: Grand Theft Auto IV

I really liked the PS2 games, so I thought the Xbox 360 sequel would be pretty sweet. 

It's by no means a "bad game", but I just hate how dissapointing it was to me. I didn't like the "new" liberty city, the story was uninteresting, characters were stupid, and I didn't like the changes to the combat or driving. 

Plus the massive rampages weren't that fun anymore. Really the first GTA I played that I didn't enjoy countless hours with. 

My Top Ten PlayStation 2 Games #2: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

I played a little of 3, but this was my first real experience with the Grand Theft Auto series. 

The game is now set in a Miami-ish setting of Vice City. It's got the awesome 80's culture and music all in the game. I loved the missions and the storyline. 

I also liked the sense of speed and driving better than any of the other GTA games. I also liked how I remember most of the map unlike San Andreas or Grand Theft Auto IV.

My Top Ten PlayStation 2 Games #3: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

The final game in the PS2 trilogy was pretty rad. 3 whole new cities, and a huge quest to take. 

It was also the first game in the series to really tap into the "Black gangster" culture. Granted I was sick of the whole Italian gangster theme of the series, and I do like the change of pace like when you get to play a Russian gangster in Grand Theft Auto IV. 

As far as the main game goes, it's a decent improvement when it came to combat. Though the game is a bit too big, with some of the lands being bare, and the missions being not as memorable as the past games. However despites it's pros and cons, San Andreas is easily one of the best in the series, and was defiantly a lot better than GTA IV.
