Yep, vice city has the best music Thank you everyone for pointing it out :D

Vice City had the best color palette, i like how dramatic it was being all bright esp right after a dark game like GTA 3

Believe me GTA 4 was a huge step towards better physic , graphics , controls , story and many more in gaming industry .

San Andreas made a huge difference to this franchise with that technology. To me it was the most impressive game in the series. GTA IV too. But San Andrea's map size was unimaginable. Man wtf it was a game released in 2004 but it had almost every terrains except Arctic terrains. And character customization and car modification. With legendary story line and Quotes. Man this game was a total maniac

Vice City had the 80s aesthetic that everyone loves and enjoys. There's a lot of references from that time frame in this game and it's mostly because the devs love the 80s so it's kind of like their love letter to thar era. The atmosphere is unmatched to other gtas.

In GTA SA, I love that when you run over pedestrians, there is this bone crunching sound. And they get flattened like paper. Unrealistic, but I remember I had a lot more fun back then than in GTA 4 and 5 ragdolls and improved ped-run-over physics

Gta san andreas was way ahead of its time I love how pedestrians react to cj based on his physical appearance and how he dresses as well as his body type cj also has certain dialogs when he collects cash from dead pedestrians based on his outfits and how much money he has.

people usually dont like gta4 it was such a good game, i hear people often say that it was too dark but that was the main point of the game. it was about the dark reality of america and russian mafia. a game story which was full of sadness and chaos.. the dark theme suited it very much...

For me, as someone who grew up in the 80s, Vice City had the best music, hands down. And VCPR was freaking hilarious.

Tommy boi alone is a unique feature. He can survive a fall from the highest building and the first to have a voice.

In Vice City, you could drive people around in a bus. This included going to a bus stop to pick people up and drop the others already on the bus off. There's also the ice cream truck where people would actually pay for ice cream. Just always thought those features were very interesting.

I'm not a big GTA guy but wow this is a really good starting point for making GTA 6 the absolute best it could be GTA 5 had almost everything down, all while adding new excellent mechanics GTA 6 could be everything 5 had with SA & 4's best qualities, add a few new things, and it would still be peak!

I’m currently playing GTA 5 story mode for I think the 10th time. The game is just incredible. I like to go into 1st person POV every now and then to really “put myself in Los Santos” and admire Rockstars fantastic work. I get lost in that world. I’m so excited for 6. They’re gonna have soooooo much amazing material to parody for their story! It’s gonna be nuts!

Gta vice city has the best radio/music in all of the franchise, its set soo high they might probably never make a better one

The character customization in gta sa and the car crusher in gta 3 are also very remarkable.

GTA SA has the best and diverse missions ever, game literally made you from a street thug to a SWAT-like avenger, the character development was great and the characters' depth too. From cruising the city, underwater missions, flying missions, and stealth. GTA SA contributed a lot of features to this franchise that people today still love.

I think the fact there’s something unique about every game is what makes them so special. It gives the series permeability and keeps it fresh.

Did you know: Tommy Vercetti was an immortal beast in gta franchise

I think sa has the most number of unique atmosphere dedicated to a place. Not only the creepy forests. In my opinion the desert night sky looks fascinating and really well done. The sky tells me that it is chilly.

You forgot to say that GTA V was the first GTA game that you can drive sub underwater and even do missions with it, you can also find drowned ships and airplanes and drowned weapons you can collect.

GTA 4 also had an incar navigation system and the back-lights would indicate whenever you'd make a turn in and GTA 3 along with GTA LCS had it's own made up music on Head Radio and Lips 106 and GTA SA gave you the option to care for your character (feed, train, diet, style etc)

Underrated games but things that are unique to these games 1.GTA LCS- Car and bike salesman missions, Tourist sightseeing,Garbage truck mission, most number of gangs,etc 2. GTA VCS-Air ambulance,best combat system(3D), criminal ventures,business activities, site takeovers, Phil Collins and soundtrack more or less equal to VC soundtrack,etc.

1:14 Vice City have the best Bus logic in the game. The things you can do with bus can't be done in other gtas.

3:03 all you had to do was drive the damn train cj

Imagine GTA6 having all these features combined, that would be sooo good.

I really like Vice City's interiors. They were ahead of their time and made SA interiors feel dull

Great video, been a fan of the GTA series since 1999 GTA 2, loved all the games in the series!

In my opinion, on of the best things in gta 5 is car tuning, very detailed and allows you to do a lot of thing

vice city has the most aesthetically pleasing water too

San Andreas is going to be 20 years soon and I think its still the most complete GTA game, so many interesting places and activities, great story and cheats, All those vehicles.. difficult to beat that

Gta 4 has by far the best story in the series too. The most emotional, relatable and realistic and with the best characters. San Andreas is a close second

With Vice City, the empire building mechanic comes to mind. Primitive for its time and GTA San Andreas had it too, but SA's was not quite as focused on it.

Vercetti can jump from any height, rolls and stand like feather, and he can jump in any direction

Vice City has some of the best and diverse missions

Every gta captured perfectly the feeling of the setting they were in, they all are so unique and great. they nailed it with that. gta san andreas has maybe the biggest place on my heart tho, I loved the map, car tuning, able to buy many properties, the missions, able to use planes and more and it was the game that introduced me into video games. Is special.

Just imagine these things being in single gta. Rockstar should do it

The thing GTA III did best was the comically gory animations like blowing heads and limbs off. GTA III did head shots better than Vice City or San Andreas, when the gore setting is active etc. The draw distance for long range sniper shots is better too, with the realistic element of having to aim out in front of your moving target to compensate for distance and bullet travel. GTA III is overlooked and underappreciated, and I understand the reasons why, especially when so many more were raised on San Andreas. But, even though it lacks in certain things like shooting through windows and windshields or jumping and climbing walls etc, the graphics and animations are actually overall better in my opinion.

I was over at a friend one day. He was playing vice city, driving around at sunset. The moment I saw those colours I knew I was in love not only with vice city, but with the franchise too

2:33 yeah the driving the train part is true but imo the GTA4 train is the best. They made it very realistic and accurate to the MTA trains. The trains go underground, above ground, have detailed stations and operators who tell you which stop you are at and which stop you are approaching.

Yoo you funny with the presentation 😅, i subbed

In gta 3 using a powerful weapon like M-60 can result in brutal deaths where hands and legs can be cut off. None other in gta series has this feature. This feature returned in RDR 2 Also.

Gta 6 was good at making players fall in love with the protagonist even before the game was released....I mean, literally

I love gta 3 because its the most mafia/gang based gta out of all GTA’s. Great missions, charactes (Kenji is my favorite) radio stations, love that game

I like how random events would take place like dude being tied to pole, a gang shoot out, people asking for lifts, thefts that can be stopped etc.

1:15 Vice city also has the best city and time line and I love the era of the 80s. Also it has the best radio station in the series

Not only the trains..etc.. but you can also learn many different fighting styles in different gyms for cj such as boxing, kickboxing and kung fu and you can also shoot some hoops

This video is so innocent and nostalgic i love you bro

Well edited video, I’m not talking about the cool game, I’m talking about the video itself and the small details of the edit.

I personally loved the atmosphere in vice city

1:27 bro smacked tf outta her and walked off like nothing happened HAHA 💀

In Vice City I always loved the bullet trails, the large variety of melee weapons and over the top bloodyness.

GTA 4 not only had the best physics it also had the best system for gun play too being able to disarm people shootin the guns vs v which removed that ability strange how five took a step back to the arcade when honestly 4 was the peak best progression of a story the atmosphere was dead on NYC for the time its mind blowing what they accomplished

The GTA Theme brought me back so many memories.. from starting GTA V & hearing that stunning music to the best cutscenes in GTA history!

Favorite things about each gta games GTA 3- the setting,the Rap station,and the feel of the game for definitive edition GTA VC-THE LOVELY SOUNDTRACK,man the 80s was great for Music. GTA SA-more vehicles in the 3d universe, the graphics and skill upgrades for weapons, the ability to eat food and go to the gym GTA 4- When stealing cars u now have the ability to break windows to gain entry, the fighting, the real life driving physics(hated it at first) and the Gun/shooting mechanics GTA 5- the ability to smoke

The craziest detail I found in gta 4 was the car radio beeping before you get a call

For me VC got the best aesthetic and feeling, love the 80's and how they captured... also it got the best soundtrack imo

vc has the best atmosphere and soundtrack

GTA IV has the best characters and dialogue.

In Vice City you can play keep ups with a beach ball it's a unique mini game also has one of if not the best radio station.

the levels of nostalgia hitting my brain is insane and gta 4 is so detailed i want to play it again

Each of them is unique. You may compare them as much as you want but it is for sure that you're gonna love 'em. The characters, the story, the gameplay, the ambience just get inside your head and become permanent memories. Happy gaming y'all!

GTA vice city have the best radio in any GTA by far no game can top Flash FM playing self control and Billie Jean in the middle of the night.

You could argue that vice city has the strongest aesthetic for its time/music/interiors. I have a lot of memories messing around in vice city growing up. San Andreas was my favorite game to play in the pre-HD era and GTAV is my most played out of the HD games. GTAIV I played a bit but I found it more fun to watch my friends goof around in it, not saying it's poor quality I simply just preferred the other GTA games. GTAIV I feel had a very strong story and I was invested in each of the characters. GTAV has an engaging story and fun atmosphere but GTAIV felt more gritty and imo gave me more of an emotional impact. The atmosphere was oppressive, fun but a little more down to earth.

Excellent video

GTA 3 has left the chat Reason : grandfather of these games

6:36 Trevor predicted the future

Vice City has the best style and perhaps atmosphere as well. San Andreas was the most diverse with its activities. IV was the best with its realistic presentation of gameplay and a criminal underworld. The Stories games are also great, expanding the story and themes of the sequels. Liberty City Stories expands on GTA 3’s organised crime focus, and Vice City Stories expands on building an empire. GTA V has many unique aspects, and I guess the most amazing part is the interaction with the world and three playable characters. Truly an innovative game.

I need this Instrumental!!!!!🔥🔥🔥 Playful and simple!!!

So gta vc really had the longest beach in the whole series.. rockstar never fails to amaze me

SA also has the best character customisation and many many small towns which other GTA games lack

The different martial arts in SA where awesome. Too bad, that they removed Gyms in GTA 4 and 5. I also think, that SA was somewhat a test for a few features in new titles. The car tuning in GTA 5, the restaurants in GTA 4, Airplane physics feel pretty much the same as in GTA 5.

2:09 i remembered that when i see it:) when im on woozie mission i see someone's cheetah car, i take that car but yeah I cant bring the car to garage and I lost that car when mission was passed. gta sa will be my one of the best game i've ever played even that sometimes make me crying and depression easily

The general vibe and nostalgia of vice city will always be great. Not the best game in the series but had great characters and story, as well as 80s charm.

1:13 tommy cannot die from fall damage thats one of the best things

Vice City loved owning business, which unlocks you unique outfits you can wear.. the ammunitions had sooo many damn guns and melees etc, that made it exciting to play wether u are doing the STORY or just roaming!!

GTA had the best down to earth, neighborhood feel, family, homies, gangs, drive by's and such, and there was so much you could do besides just missions.

And also vice city is the only GTA game that has trees, blowing in the wind. Also the only one with fully working buses (as you showed us :))

0:55 he can jump from any place 😎

Vice city by far had the best music!! I was too young to understand the missions when i played the game but I would just get in a car and switch to VRock straightaway and drive around

I think San Andreas has really cool features, especially the 2 player game mode. My nephew and I would play that all of the time growing up, we’d go on top of the house closest to the 2player pickup, and just start mowing down cops. San Andreas holds a very special place in my heart. I don’t see 3 is included in this video, but I really think that the sound engine was very cool. Hearing all of the echos in buildings/subways was very immersive. It wasn’t a perfect sound engine, because now I notice that some of the dialogue ends very abruptly. Another thing I do like about 3 is the fact that all of the sirens sound different in the game. Cop cars, fbi, swat team, ambulance, and fire trucks have different sounds. Rocket launcher explosions sounded different than car explosions too. I just think 3 did the best in that regard. I can’t comment on vice city because I didn’t grow up playing vice city, and I don’t really find any interest in playing it now.

i think gta vc has most unique atmosphere not the best but very unique. it make me feels so nostalgic

Gta 6 should better have nicer things including some features from previous games and details like rdr2. Also cuz rdr2 was made in 8 years and it is almost 10 years after gta 5.

I liked car chases the most in 4 if you could master the handeling and weight transfering you could do COOL manuvers like J turns, S turn drifts, and spins. The tire mechanics also added suspense since if you blew out a tire the other 3 were up next so if you manage to pop their tire or you get unlucky and yours pops the chase is either over or you have to scramble to find another car to get back in the chase.

gta 4 that game...those cops...shootouts..everything about it was so close to movie it was awesome to play...

GTA 5 has some really good dialogue for the characters. I have the time of my life in every cutscene.

Rip tommy vercetti's voice actor. Fly high

Vice city had full airport interior, which no other GTA had showcased

GTA 3 had that specialty of having an open world full of dark action

GTA Vice City has also good bus logic. It is the only game in which we can see character coming in and out of the bus.

GTA VC Story Missions are better compared to other GTA. The Demolition Man and Dodo Mission are Goated. The mission design was simply Impressive. We can buy property in GTA VC which i see not possible in other GTA. There was Side Ramapage Mission in GTA 3 and GTA VC. Collecting Cars in GTA 3 and GTA VC of a particular list and delivering to an garage was An Amazing Thing!. How Can You say That GTA VC didn't have best thing compare to other GTA. It even the best music in my opinion.

The best thing in GTA Vice City is that Tommy can't die if he falls from a long distance , just he only rolls when he is in the ground and is completely fine😂😂😂😂😂

2:26 The snooker player always cheats in GTA: San Andreas, no matter what version you’re on. It has a great soundtrack in comparison to GTA V and GTA IV. Vice City had a great diverse design across all areas of the city. Vice City actually looked more pleasant overall, especially the lighting conditions for the sun. The designs of the Cuban influenced area of Little Havana looks much different than the port buildings, which are actually used in San Andreas by the military depot in Ocean Docks. Interestingly, the game has an inside joke on the back of the private guards in Vice City that reads “Private Invest Group”, or PIG, obviously a pun to the cops. Had a lot of 80’s style, was very fun. My overall favourite is Vice City. My second favourite is GTA IV. GTA IV has lots more to do in single player than GTA V has.

Since vice City was an earlier game the map was smaller, but for the better. It made getting around, driving around so much fun. Sure the other games were more realistic but this gave it the fun video game-y feel

I think in terms of aesthetics, vice city was the best solely for the 80's theme

Is like GTA is made by different creators, but with the same concept

I was 9 when 4 came out. Grew up watching my brother play SA and when IV came out, i couldn't believe my eyes. It was the most memorable experience playing story, either dwelling in the depressive campaign or adventuring the liberty city like a madman. The online gun battles, hackers with concrete balls and shafts blocking your online character from shooting, the car chases from one side of the map to the other. Lots of good memories holding out from the cops too, shooting the legs and watch them stumble off rooftops. GTA IV is the def of perfect. All they had to do was implement all the good from SA and IV into a new V, but they failed imo

For me GTA VC has the best map by far. Because it's smaller, almost every single place feels pretty unique and you can actually memorize everything without the minimap. Add to it the beautiful sunshine, which makes it much better than GTA 3 imo. GTA V and IV maps are way too big and even GTA SA has places that feel very redundant.

no character is better than Tommy in surviving from a huge fall,😅😅😅

i loved it when the raim and the blood were on the screen in vc

Vice City was a fantastic game. Very fun storyline, where you owned businesses and did missions for said businesses to progress the story, which was very cool. I think you give GTA 5 way too much credit, as 'Attention to Detail' was something sorely lacking in GTA V, compared to GTA IV. Much of the map feels samey and bland, whereas in GTA IV, there were countless interiors to enter, all uniquely designed. This also goes for vehicles, despite not having first person, there was unique text in a Maverick helicopter in GTA IV, which is just missing in GTA V. Additionally, I think the 'several characters' feature of GTA 5 is a bit... bad. My opinion, but hear me out: It ruined the story. Cutting yourself thin by making a game with three protagonists is bound to cut corners. Unlike Niko, who was a relatable, not so bad guy, you get Trevor.... an angry dude who wants to just be wild because he can be
