User Rating: 9.9 | Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas PS2
First of all let me say, that Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is one of the greatest games I've played. Rockstar yet again amazes its public, by dropping this excellant game. The week delay was worth it, because it lead the gamers into suspense to get this great game. But enough about that, lets get into why this game is so great. First of all, the gameplay is much more improved over the other games. The controls are much more "comfortable feeling" and it actually makes it allot more fun. Jacking cars is ofcourse the same triangle press, and punching is still circle, so they weren't brought way out there. But now there are even more controls such as sprinting, and other fighting moves. There is so many more controls, i couldnt tell you all of them. Now lets get into the new ability's this game has. There is so much more you can do in San Andreas, then you could ever do in Vice city, or Liberty City. First of all, you can customize CJ (The main character ofcourse) in any way. You can make him skinny like erkel, or buff like Deebo. You can give him tattoo's of almost anything. You can also make CJ fat like Bone crusher. Thrre is so much you can do to him, I won't get into it. But one big thing you can do, is change his clothes. There are sixstores across san andreas, such as victim, zip, binco and more. You can buy hats, sunglasses, eye patches (slick rick anyone?), shirts, pants just so much. Ofcourse you have to pick wisely though. If you make him dress like a moron, you'll get rude comments by the now smarter pedestrians. But ofcourse you can negatively respond to it, which is always a thrill. Another thing I have to give rockstar credit for is the new mission system. See you're doing something different in just about every mission. In vice and liberty, you would constantly do the same thing but not in san andreas. I think that is a huge improvment. Another improvment is the many mini games in the game. You canplay basketball, dance at the clubs or beach, be a pimp, rob houses, be a taxi driver, a vigilanti cop, an ambulance driver, and so much more. Explore one of the three cities sometime and see what im talking about. This brings me to one of rockstars biggest improvements. The fact that San andreas is a state. That is a huge improvment. The state is huge as well. Three cities Los santos, san fierro, and las venturas not to mention forests, countrysides, and desserts in between. The cities are huge, and capture everything they are based off of. I must now talk about rockstars greatest improvement. The sound of the game is flawless. Great faces voice in the game, such as Young maylay, yo yo, ice T, the great Samual L jackson, and just so much more. The acting is flawless, as well as the characters themselves. Then comes the weapon sound effects. The sounds sound great. Yes yes yes the handgun may not sound exciting, but handguns usually arent exciting sounding. Each weapon looks and sounds great. Ten comes the music. A great great soundtrack. It stretches from soul, to rock. Rockstar looked out for everybody music wise. If your a rasta head, west coast g, country bumkin, or a rocker (as well as others) san andreas has something for you. I actually almost grew to love this soundtrack more then vice city. Rockstar ofcourse succeeded in commericals too. Theres still tons of hillarious dialogue in San andreas, which is another territory rockstar dominates in. Overall san andreas is one of the greatest games of all time. It looks beautiful, and has great sounds. Great story, and so much todo i couldnt tell you all of it. Lets just say its like trying to write a synopsis for the matrix you cant do it. I suggerst you pick up san andreas while you can, and experience the rgeatness of it.
