     Niko Belic was the most human character I've ever seen from a game.  Despite the fact he was doing some very bad things, you could still like him.
    Luis Lopez from Gay Tony was really great too, another pretty messed up guy who really needed a father figure.  The way the whole story is resolved is very touching.

    Tommy Vercetti is probably the best that ive come across, he had style and class.

    I couldn't help it.. Sorry.. :( 
    I couldn't help it.. Sorry.. :( 
     
    But Tommy Vercetti get's my vote for sure. 
    Then followed by Niko. 
    I did like that dude from GTA 3 though (Can't remember his name, even when they told me in San Andreas I forgot it 5 seconds later) 
    Carl Johnson was stupid though.

    Useless bump. I didn't play GTA3, so I'll have to go with Niko Bellic.

    Niko Bellic takes the cake for sure. And steve, that's exactly why Niko is superior.

    Niko was a confusing protagonist. He would get all emotional and freaked out about making an "either kill this person or this person" choice, but he would be just fine going out and committing mass murder against civilians. My vote is either for CJ or Tommy

    Yeah, it makes no sense that he would get emotional over killing someone he had a strong relationship with rather than just a random person who he never knew or cared about.

    Definitely Niko Bellic.  He is the most rounded main character and one of the best in video games in some time.

    Nico, followed closely by Tommy. Both are bad-ass, but the prior is a tad more believable.

    I'm also going to go with Niko. He really felt much more fully fleshed out then all the other GTA protagonists.

    I love Tommy but I'm surprised to see no love for Trevor. I liked all three protagonists from V but Trevor was something special. I totally understand how off-putting he could be to a lot of people but I thought he was really well-written.

    LOL oops. Didn't check the date. That's why there's no love for Trevor.
