Does any one else feel this way about GTA

So i've been a fan of the GTA series, ever since i got GTA 3 for Playstation .The freedom when you play was highly underestimated at the time. As i grew i began to become addicted to the style. I late bought PS2 and got Vice City, now i loved the game, because it had a sunny city it was close to Scarface and it had a great storyline. I loved that game so much, that till this day i don't let anyone else borrow it. So then i go into San Andreas, and again loved every bit of it, its originality its setting in sunny California, made the game enjoyable, the ability to fly planes and swim made me love it the most. However, i recently got an Xbox 360 and bought GTA 4. Now don't get me wrong the graphics are beautiful, and its very realistic. I just thought it lost the common theme of originality. The game is based in Liberty City and includes a immigrant named Niko who comes to America in search of a better life, but finds his cousin Roman is only a taxi driver, and isn't living in luxury. The setting is very depressing, the city is dark and too realistic. Meaning theres toll bridges to get to cities and you have to pay. You can only fly a helicopter,theres really nothing to do after you finish all the missions. And the city doesnt have the same vibe as others. I just want to know your opinion on GTA 4, i may be completely wrong but i think it didn't live up to the GTA series name. Also i heard theres a game called APB thats suppose to be the mother of all the series, and it looks great, can you discuss, about GTA 4 and your experience and whether you think APB will be a good game. Thank you for your opnions in advance
