Story: Well it's obvious, to me at least, that GTA V's story was superior because San Andreas didn't really have much to boast about in the storyline, though I will say that V's is not the best in the series to me when it comes to story as IV beats it for me.

Characters: San Andreas, just barely. I didn't like the characters in V, save for Trevor who actually has a very sad background and despite the fact that he is crazy when you realize how lonely and alienated from the world he is you can't blame him. The thing that really beats it out for me are Ryder and Big Smoke who are just funny characters in general.

Gameplay: Stalemate - again there are things both games do right, and wrong. The physics in V are excellent. San Andreas really rounds the curve with the gang warfare, and the RPG elements implemented in. I wish gang warfare could be in V with Franklin, but the gunplay, driving, and the overall complexity of the missions make it an even stalemate.

Soundtrack: I don't much care for 80's glam music, and as such Radio X is my cup of tea. I do like the Punk station in V but the fact that the Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat, and the Misfits don't make an appearance on the station is kind of a let down. But Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Rage Against the Machine (now removed), and Jane's Addiction on Radio X leave it absolutely unrivaled for the GTA universe radio stations to me.
