It all depends on what you're looking for. I own Red Dead, GTA IV and L.A. Noire, and have to say that Red Dead is my favourite. Not just because of the striking setting and the enticing story, but because it has repeat appeal. When you finish the story you still have challenges to complete and odd jobs you can do - and then there's the random encounters. Even after 100% completion they keep the game interesting. You don't find that in the other two games. L.A. Noire even less so than GTA IV, but L.A. Noire has it's own merits. For example, there are so many types of car to drive and landmarks to discover. GTA IV really missed a trick, but who knows? Maybe Rockstar will top evertything with GTA V...
