GTA 4 isn't like San Andreas at all or in fact like the other 3D GTAs, it is more serious and more "realistic". Even though the GTA satire is still there, the humour became less obvious and despite being a parody of New York [Liberty City], at the start it feels a bit more closer to a district in a UK city with the Eastern Europeans being in the more poorer areas so it is possible to meet someone like Niko or Roman in some areas. I didn't think Rockstar intented for that to happen, it is a case of something happening in real life is just a concidence. The other two expansions though aren't as realistic and are a bit more closer to the other games.
To be honest, I didn't really enjoy GTA 4 at all. The graphics are murky [decent in 2008 but not now], the frame rate isn't the best [if you have to play on it, either 360 or beefy computer], the loading times are long and doesn't feel satisfying to play. The physics are quite nice though even though a coffee table shouldn't move when you run towards it and the story is okay. Plus when you try to do a mission to get somewhere in the game, your friends [Roman, Brucie, Jacob, that Irish family] annoy you on your phone begging you to go somewhere and if you don't go, your friend rating goes down. At the beginning, it isn't as bad but try half way though the game, it becomes really annoying...
Also the only GTAs I enjoyed are the first 3 [GTA 1, London, GTA 2], did play GTA 3 a bit but not enough to have an opinion and haven't played Vice City Stories at all despite having it. San Andreas doesn't appeal to me and due to GTA 4, feel burnt out and put off getting GTA 5. Have yet to play Vice City actually and to many, that is considered the best one due to the 80s atmosphere [either that or San Andreas are considered the best ones].
