So, just about everyone who was born in at least 1985 has heard of the best sitcom ever made "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" with Will Smith right? For some reason whenever I play "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" on Xbox, it reminds me of Fresh Prince. Here are some notable comparisons I found that may have influenced Rockstar.
Fresh Prince: Will Smith goes to Bel Air to live with his aunt and uncle.
San Andreas: Carl Johnson goes to San Andreas to live with his brother and sister.
Fresh Prince: Will Smith's cousin Carlton Banks is frequently criticized because of his heighth.
San Andreas: Carl Johnson's friend Ryder Wilson is frequently criticized because of his heighth. Also, doesn't Ryder have an uncanny comparison in personality with the Fresh Prince character "Jazz"? His voice tone, his knack for getting in trouble, his run down home, his betrayal throughout the game just like in the show.
Fresh Prince: Will Smith's friend Jazz lives in Compton.
San Andreas: Ryder lives in Ganton ( Which is a Compton replica ), which is another comparison between Ryder and Jazz.
There are also other small nitpicks that don't need to be mentioned, but doesn't the overall premise have a comparison or similarity to it? Maybe it's just me, but I see a lot of similarities between the game and the show.
