if youre gonna choose only one game from the BoF series to complete you should definitely play 4. even by today's standards it still has a great story and one of the best villains around. and you get to play some of his side of the story too, which makes it even better. and a lot of the mechanics introduced in 3 were further polished in 4.

i know 2 and 3 generally have more fans, but its largely due to nostalgia. there's no doubt in my mind the vast majority of people new to the series playing one of these games for the first time would like 4 the best.
