....except that Vice City and San Andreas are both much, much better than GTA3
(the first 3D version), and are clearly not intended to be mere spinoffs. (So
far, I'm also finding San Andreas at least to be better than GTA4.) If I'd
played only GTA3 and GTA4, then read about what the story and game features are
like in VC and SA, I'd definitely feel that I completely missed out!

Thinking about it, GTA4 is the 4th 3D version. Perhaps the makers are just
excluding the older 2D versions before the franchise got popular...?
