And I disagree. I loved that I could turn my character into a fat slob or a muscle man in San Andreas. I loved how the world felt so vast and varied. I loved the cars, motorcycles, planes, helicopters, boats, jetski's, jetpacks, tractors. I loved how you can SWIM and DIVE in San Andreas (try that in Vice City..). I loved how you could train your character in almost every aspect (shooting, running, cycling, driving, flying, fighting, swimming, diving).
But I do agree that the story was tighter in Vice City and that the music was better.
