Because GTA: San Andreas has a ton you wouldn't see in any other free running game, the gameplay still brings lot of fun
The graphics are not quite good but the amount of action you get to jump in,in this game, is enormous which does not only include drugs, gangs and killing.Over 50 unique side missions or other activities like drive bys with your homies, betting on horse tracks or skill stats are cool ways of making money, getting better at the game and aren't seen in the other episodes.
The story starts with a 4 different gangs war and you a need to work your way up to the top as a criminal but, once you get farther into it, not only gets more interesting but the experience is different in every new city you discover: characters are way out of the ghetto theme and the missions, not only lasting a really long time , all have something in common to do, not only ''go kill this guy or this other one'' or ''go save this guy''.
The selection of Vehicles, weapons, items and clothes is probably more then three times wider then Grand Theft Auto IV's inventory, even with the downloadable content expansions: and yes, even more vehicles and special items. The map, on another hand, is still the biggest in the whole series and awesome secrets and Easter eggs can be discovered in huge forests and deserts.
Some say San Andreas is the best in the series and some say it's GTA: IV.
I say San Andreas because you do not get the experience of this game twice yet in any other game without speaking of graphics.GTA: San Andreas, as one of the best free run games out, is still totally a must try.
