Yes,I love San Andreas more than GTAIV!It's got more to do,better characters(ok a special someone is better than all of them but still),funnier story and just a very good atmosphere.I enjoyed the soundtrack a lot,I don't recommend rap to anyone because the lyrics can be offensive and vulgar but I love old school g-funk like Dre and Ice Cube and there was even a time Snoop was good.It was real hard to pick the best one out of all of them I enjoyed GTA3-IV very much,but this one holds a special place in my heart as being the most enjoyable.Why?Simply because I liked the story the most and the awesome drive by missions.I felt like a real gangster when I played this game.I loved Ryder,Big Smoke,CJ and the Truth a lot.They were so funny,and so realistic.I really cared about most of the characters in this game,something the other GTAs have failed to do for me.

Anyways regardless if GTAIV is the best,San Andreas is still my favorite and it earns #9 in my greatest games of all time.

O,and remember something I'm not saying these are flat out the best games of all time.But there my own personal picks for the greatest to me.If Vice City is better than San Andreas to you,fine so be it.

And if you want a hint at number 8.Fill in the blanks.
