It's barulez for another exciting game to review. GTA has been a great franchise for the PS2 thus far and with GTA 3 won a lot of critics and gamers, then GTA: Vice City make another classic sequel and bigger. Now, they have done it again. The next game and going to be a classic, GTA: San Andreas. I think this game should be the Game Of The Century or Year. To me it doesn't matter but for others, this game breakes new ground. Story: You a C.J. heading back home from Liberty City to stay away from crime but when he went back home, his mother was mugged and killed. His brother, Sweet, Sweet's friends- Big Smoke and Ryder make the family called "Grove Street Families" and you need to show your family whats Grove Street has to offer. The story gets better every game and this one is no exception. He goes through three cities with no loading time to a city to another. I'm happy about that because it was annoying on GTA 3 and Vice City. The formula didnt changed much but it doesnt mean is still fun. Stealing cars, robbing, this and that and replay value will go on forever. There are new features on this game and one of them is you can play with two players and have double damaging power. One problem, the camera can be touchy with two people since there is no split screen. Next , you can buy food to keep your energy going and working out at the gym to keep your going. The list goes on and on. Oh yes, I dont want to forget the voice actors. They did an impressive job. You got Samuel L. Jackson as Tom Penney, also Young Maylay did an excellent job as C.J., the late actor Chris Penn as his partner don't know the character's name, and I don't want to forget James Woods as Mike Torreno. Man, he knows how to act professionally. The sound is pretty top nonch just like the rest of the GTA series. Graphics are great but watch out for the framerate. It can be slow at times depending where you are at. So, I wish I can put more detail but you have to go through a lot and the level design is big, it could take 50-70 hours of gameplay. At least yu won't get bored. Well, thats it for the review. BOTTOMLINE- Same great and strong gameplay, great graphics, nice voice acting and story and great game design to make a ride you will never forget. Rock On and PEACE OUT!!!!!!

I've never played all the way through GTA3 or Vice City. I found that, in both games, the characters and missions did not hold nearly enough substance for me to care what happened next. Before San Andreas, GTA was only... Read Full Review
