Here's a little something I've been thinking about, and I present it to you in the now infamous, LIST FORM (w00t)...
WHY GTA: VICE CITY IS BETTER THAN GTA: SAN ANDREAS!
In no particular order
1. Size - SA is nice and big, but that's the problem. It's too big! Oh sure, it may offer more things to do, but when it takes you the better of 15 minutes (10 if your flying) to get from point A to point B, then something is wrong. VC is small, but its the perfect size for the game.
2. Humor - Alright, SA has some funny parts. Wu Zi Mu is a priceless character. In all, however, the comedy just cannot even compare to the hilarity of VC.
"It eat my favorite El Burro movie, it die!"
"It's probably not plugged in."
"Wha? Dang, no matter. I can buy a-hundred more!"
3. Time Period - I'm an 80s fan. Screw you.
4. Music - 80s, w00t! Seriously though, aside from that, VC has the best radio stations of all GTA games. It has 2 chat stations. SA has one, and a sub-par one, at that. SA is also dominated by crappy music genres. It has 2 rap stations, a reggae station, and a country station. That leaves 6 out of 10 that I listen to (60%). VC only has one station that I don't listen to, and that's only because I don't understand Spanish. That's 8 out of 9 for VC (88.9%).
5. Lack of Stat Building - I hate RPGs and stat building, in general. Bad move, SA.
6. Better Main Character - Hawaiian shirt-wearing, mafia guy vs. Tank & jean-wearing, gangbanger. I like both the mafia and Hawaiian shirts way better. Tommy is way cooler in his demeanor, too.
7. It's a Prequel! - Without VC, there would be no SA nor III. Just look at all of the references to VC there are in SA. That's right, Rosie!
Lets sum this up, shall we: VC > SA.
Note: All points made in this list are my personal opinion. If you don't like it, tough.
