you may prefer 2, but there's no denying the quality of 4. It's universally recognised as one of the best games ever made.
a game that can be reviewed 82 times and average 96/100 is just plain amazing.
it made so many innovations that paid off, they haven't even come close to it since.
I suck at the old games these days though
I played the remaster of the first game though and enjoyed it.
