GTA:SA is fail though. If you're picking a GTA game, then it has to be Vice City.
You're just racist. San Andreas is clearly the best one and you just hate black people. I don't think I've spent more time playing any other game, and I'm still willing to bet I haven't seen everything it has to offer. That is a class game.
Nah, SA just isn't funny. Where are the funny adverts, radio shows and billboards? Almost none of the usual GTA humour is present. The game just feels like they spent so much time trying to make it bigger and better on a technical level, that they forgot to give the game any character. The only character who's really funny is the triad boss.
I actually like Los Santos, especially the area in and around CJ's house, but beyond that, the game lacks soul. The perfect example of this is the Area 51 (or whatever it's called in the game) mission. How can you have Area 51 in a GTA game, and not have some hilarious alien-probe gag, or something like that? There isn't one joke to be found in the whole base. That's how you know there's something wrong.
