III had its own feel and atmosphere which I've not felt in any other game. Vice City and San Andreas are epic and amazingly good games, but they had their own vibes. IV has a different tone again. There's just something about driving up the hill to the Bistro, under the railway, in the rain, everything grey and dull, that's evocative for me. I'm not saying it's better, but it was unique, and I appreciate that to this day.
