First one I was insanely hyped for. I was watching stuff for it on Gametrailers for a long time before it came out. The online play seemed so damn cool, the story cool, the wackiness cool. What we got was some of the most bland online multiplayer around and wasn't all that stable. Still played the online a lot though and fairly enjoyed it. The single player experience was about the same although far more polished. Just kind of empty and nothing special. I would still call it a fun and good game though. Just got no where near my hype.

Second one was obviously a great game and did customization like no one has done prior or even after. The amount of effort put into the game was insane. Probably the most consistent in the series but I prefer the craziness of three and four to it.

Three and four are easily my favorite in the series for how insanely over the top they are. They are just always a blast to play. Four suffers a bit for being too linear up until late in the game when you finally unlock the open world. And even then the game is basically just an expansion pack to three rather than a brand new game. But when a game starts off by blowing up the world in the first minute of the game how can you have a problem with it?
