The graphics are better. But I think the main star of GTA4 is realism. It's not realistic but it's more so then the other ones. I agree the removal of certain elements blows but on the whole I think it's balanced by the depth of the playing world.
I think there all great, rockstar games really put a lot of effort into the gta series. but If it was one or the other I'd say 4 graphics and game play wise
Are you serious! Sure, San Andreas was an incredible game, but GTA 4 is just soo much better. It's incredibly amazing, haha! Trust me, San Andreas has nothing on GTA 4!
San Andreas is better than GTA4. it has more to it and its more fun. theres justs omthing about an italian mofia thats wrong. unlike bein a hoodlum black gangsta. idk. thats just my opinion.
sorry but beside the subject you have 3 spelling mistakes in your post. now getting to the point i think that gta4 is better because of the helicopter crashes, the explosions, the graphics detail.
either of them are really good games GTA4 definetly has much better graphics but it doesnt have that skill system like SA (i didnt really notice a difference with higher lvls to lower ones though) i think GTA4 has a better storyline as well but they could have put in some games..... or atleast the flying car cheat.... or the jetpack(im not totally sure if there isnt a jetpack in GTA4 yet but i dont think so.....) anyway i think GTA4 is better (i think i like saints row almost as much and its quiet a bit older so i think the second one will do almost as well as GTA4... maybe)
