SA Was The One I Did Almost Complete Without Cheats Though

Stopped Playing It Beyond A Certain Point But I Was About To Make My Way Home To Grove Street

GTA 4 was the first one I completed without cheats. I would say that SA was my favourite though

No Achievements If Yew Cheats In GTA IV
Thats Fucking Bullshit!!!!!

i actually have beaten all of them without cheats. (except for chinatown wars, since i haven't beaten that one yet)

as for my opinion on the best in the series, i genuinely believe that each numbered entry has been better than the last, and that each subtitled entry has only been marginally better than its respective originator.

3 was obviously the biggest step in the series, and i remember playing it the day it came out, and being amazed at how it looked, and how much freedom you had. as such, 3 is probably my favorite, though i did really like the parachuting ability in SA, and i'm glad they're bringing that back in gay tony.

i think 4 is really good, but they removed a lot of things that i liked about previous entries in the series, so yeah. though from the videos, it looks like they're bringing back some of the funner stuff in gay tony.

Vice city was good mostly because it described a sand box well for when it came out, plus it's set in miami (liberty city modeled off of) where i happen to live, wierd to think about i am talking to someone on the other side of the country. anyway i only disliked that in vice city and somewhat in san andres the characters weren't well rounded and just kill bots without any real emotion. gta 4 is great with character developement, its beutifully done graphically, and i like the modern new york feel it gives although no where near enough taxis.
