way too overrated. youll love it at first but youll get bored of it eventually.
the good:
--> theres way more places and open space in san andreas. Theres Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas.
--> you can dress CJ, your character, to ultimately anybody, from a pimp to a red-neck.
--> you can customize your car to make it more pimped out, like add spoilers, hydraulics, nitro and rims.
--> longer storyline
the bad:
--> the music is horribly worse compared to Vice City. If your the hiphop/rap type, then itll be an exception with snoop dogg and dr. dre classics.
-->graphics did step up.........a baby step.
--> youll love the storyline, but when you finish the game there isnt much you wanna do anymore.
the conclusion is that San Andreas is just a rent-type game. If u end up buyin it, after a few months itll bore you, trust me.
