In the last debate, in anticipation of the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4, we argued over which of the previous Metal Gear games have been the least and most enjoyable in the series so far. Over a hundred votes were cast for a variety of different console titles from the past, but no single game was a landslide winner or loser in either category. Below are the top results from each group:
- Favorite Metal Gear game:
- 1st: Metal Gear Solid (34 votes) -- Winner!
- 2nd: Metal Gear Solid 3 (33 votes) -- Almost!
- 3rd: Metal Gear Solid 2 (20 votes)
- Worst Metal Gear game:
- 1st: Metal Gear Acid (11 votes) -- Loser!
- 2nd: Metal gear Solid 2 (10 votes)
Looks like Metal Gear Solid 2 pleased and displeased a fair amount of its players. For this week, since we've all had a while with Grand Theft Auto 4 by now, I think it's time to finally revisit this series for a debate. What's your favorite GTA game so far, and why? What made that one better than the rest for you? Give it some serious thought, cast your votes and reasons, get some other simulation murderers to share their opinions as well, and check back next week for the winner.
Bonus Question: What's your least favorite Grand Theft Auto game so far? Why?

Contest:
Least favorite is GTA3. I didn't find that game appealing whatsoever, it just sucks pure ass.
Not to mention the totally epic soundtrack.
Worst: San Andreas. Sucked.
Worst is Liberty City stories on PS2, because aiming and everything is a god damn nightmare.
worst: i guess GTA 2 didn't do much for me.
Characterizations, controls, visuals, game play mechanics.
Any issues I had with the previous incarnations of the series were gone in this one.
Least favorite? Vice City. That game just didn't get me into GTA much. Outside the return of the motercycles, I didn't care for it. San Andreas thankfully made me feel better.
Worst: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. I never played any of the 2D GTA games, but GTA III was revolutionary, and GTA: Vice City upped the ante with a pitch-perfect 80s vibe. San Andreas was just too massive, and I didn’t like CJ as a protagonist.
Worst: GTA 2, was pretty much GTA 1 with moar lighting effects.
Least favorite? The original GTA. 2 improved on a lot, but the first one was just so awful, even compared to 2.
Worst: GTA3. The design of Liberty City was just godawful.
Least fav? San Andreas, because I really didn't like the feel of the game and really coulnd't like C.J.
Worst - The psp games. They werent bad as such, they just didnt have the spark. They felt like id played them before only it was waaaay better the first time.
Worst - GTA4
Worst - GTA Advance, its the only other GTA game I have played.
Worst - GTA 2. Hated the futuristic setting and the gang allegiance mechanic. This is the one I spent the least amount of time with.
I didn't think the original GTA and GTA 2 were very good games.
Worst - San Andreas. That game sucked. It's really just as simple as that.
Worst: SA - too big with too little to accomplish
note:have not played gta4...soon as it comes out on the PC I'll give you an update.(or wii...hehe, nvm)
Worst - Vice city only because i palyed it the least.
Also, Vice City.
4 is pretty cool though.......
Worst, I say GTA Advance. They somehow made the decent 2D ones horrible.
Worst GTA: Liberty City Stories for its horrendous graphics and god awful voice acting, storyline, and soundtrack. San Andreas, worst graphics of the 3, everything looks ugly, but awesome mission variety.
worst would be GTA liberty city stories on the psp because the controls were horrible even on the psp, the lock on was buggy, and no real character development almost as bad as Claude in GTA 3 but less interesting.
The PS2 port of LCS was horrible, the graphics were painful as hell to watch, and they didn't bother to program the additional analog stick back in.
Worst: Liberty City Stories
Worst: Kinda a tough decision between Vice City and San Andreas (as much as I love the gameplay and soundtrack, I can never truly love a game that uses an "urban" theme.)
Worst: Probably 2. Didn't enjoy it as much as the first one for some reason.
There is no worst vote for me.
Worst: Vice City - I lived through the 80's but for some reason i could not feel any connection to this game whatsoever. I guess it was just the story really.
The game has some flaws but its sum is so great that i played it for months on end long after finishing the game
Worst: GTA SA
Soundtrack - San Andreas (Vice City 2nd)
Graphics - IV
Storyline - IV (Vice City 2nd)
Voice Acting - IV (Vice City 2nd)
worst - London (II 2nd)
Worst: GTA III. Control was pretty crappy, the guy couldn't swim, and I never really liked the "silent antagonist" bit.
FWIW, I couldn't pick IV for the best because it simply lacked depth of both story and gameplay. The graphics were really good, but that wasn't enough to carry the game. I miss ambulance and firetruck missions. The vigilante missions were pretty weak too.
I totaly thought the 3D switch would not work and was cussing the idea.
I thought they should keep it 2D and make up a new game for the 3D switch to test.
Boy was I wrong and glad they did.
Worst: San Andreas. Hip Hop sucks, just like this game.
Worst: GTA I
Worst: 2, didn't like the controls, plus the fact that it cost money to save :\
Worst = Liberty City Stories...some reason it just felt cheaper and a giant step back from what I had been playing at the time(SA). I also had a problem with how the black and red seemed to blur so much on my PSP...it made me fucking sick sometimes. I ended up just giving it away to my girlfriend's little brother. I'm sure he had a hell of a time with it, but it just wasn't good enough for me.
Worst is any GTA with a 3 in it... it was just to early for a full 3D-world I think... even on XBOX it all looked a bit sterile and empty...
I hated GTA III
worst: GTA 2
