To me it's all of the previously stated:
- I am daily confronted with bad drivers in an urban sprawl, so I use GTA as a catharsis.
- The details are amazing: when I came to San Francisco after GTA: SA, I was astonished how well the Californians managed to build a city after a video game

- The music: very fitting and diverse; shame on Rockstar for destroying my favorite Station in GTA4 (LCHC) in the add-ons with stupid Death Metal
In addition: maybe the most important thing to me are the social comments and satire. I love how much effort the team spent into creating websites, brands, radio and tv shows, commercials and of course stories that mock the society we live in.
