Never be bored again! Live in a imaginary world where drugs, sex, and gangs rule.
Story (spoiler free): CJ, or Carl Johnson is the main character in the game. The story starts off at a scene at the airport, where CJ had been released from jail. It is 5 years since CJ's last presence in the city of San Andreas, and CJ acknowleges that his mother had been murdered, and he is going back to bury her. On his way, he gets framed by 3 crooked cops, who takes all of his stuff and throws him in the street of Los Santos, where Carl finds out just how bad things had gotten. Carl once again faces the life he tried to leave behind, and faces a challenge that takes him through out the whole state of Los Santos. In the story, you'll meet characters like Big Smoke, OJ Loc, and Sweet, just to name a few. Each of them has their own personalities, stories, and missions that you must accomplish with them. As the story progresses, you will learn much about Carl Johnson, the main character, and ultimately, by the end of the game, you will find out everything about the death of his mother as well. Pros: Great gameplay, especially for those who's never played GTA series. A lot to do in the game, and will last a long time. The polish of the game was very well done, and it made it feel cinematic even though the graphics was not very good. The sound was good, and some funny lines said in the game didn't hurt this cause either. Cons: Graphics wasn't very good, and sometimes the games lagged due to its massive environment. The theme of the game was not to my taste (-1 from tilt), and to many people's tastes (-1 from tilt). However, given it's popularity, it rightly deserves an "8" on my reviewer's tilt.
