San Andreas mixes the perfect amount of depth, visuals, and real life immersion to create a unique masterpiece.
This game spans across three main cities, being Los Santos, Las Venturas, and San Fierro. Each of the cities are huge, packed with missions and unique characters. Whether it's driving school, flight school, or simply getting a sports car from the rich neighborhood, San Andreas' three cities will have whatever you need. Needless to say, the transitions between the two cities are as smooth as they could possibly be, and before you know it, you're out of the hood of Los Santos and into the steep streets of San Fierro.
Besides the environment of San Andreas, the missions are the core gold of the game. There's always something new to do, whether you're spray painting over Ballas logos or loading someone's car full of drugs. The difficulty of the missions isn't really hard enough that you'll never be able to beat them, but so much that they aren't ridiculously easy. They usually take a couple of tries in the later part of the game.
San Andreas features lively audio that truly immerses you in every gunshot, song, and car as well. The engines, SMGs, and talk shows all sound very real, and never truly get annoying enough that you'll have to turn your audio all the way down.
Overall, San Andreas is a game that any PC owner needs to play at least once. The graphics, cities, game play, and audio are simply perfect. The only drawback: the game has an ending.
