Your rating to IV.

[Dust]

I think GTA IV is an excellent game but due to the nature of being a Next-Gen title, I feel it is unfair to compare it to previous GTA titles--which essentially have an entirely different cartoon-ish feel as opposed to the detailed, complex, and much more realistic design of the Next-Gen GTA IV. All in all, I say previous GTA titles were the best video games made for their original platforms and in addition the new GTA 4 is the best title made for the Next-Gen platform. All of the GTA titles are great in their own way and each have a special flavor that is entertaining. In my opinion, everytime R* releases a new GTA title, it becomes harder to enjoy the older titles because they keep out-doing themselves. That says a lot considering how good each title has been. Every GTA game was totally awesome when it was new and current. I think you get more bang for your buck with each new title.

I've could not had said it better myself!!!
