User Rating: 9.7 | Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas PS2
This game is by far the most innovative game in PS2 history. Even though the game doesn't advance in the graphics department, every other aspect of the game has improved by leaps and bounds. It has introduced an RPG-ish level up system in which your main rating are for Respect, Fat, Muscle, Stamina, Weapon Skill, and Sex Appeal. The respect can only be upgraded by doing missions. The Fat meter is upped by eating, however don't eat too many meals at one time or CJ will throw up and the money spent on food will be a waste as he is restored to the amount of fat he had before. Muscle is upgraded via the Gym in which you can do Curls or Benchpress, both are basically the same making you tap X and O consecutively and repeatedly to improve you muscle, however should you workout too much you will begin running slower than normal as he becomes a bit bulkier. The Stamina meter is upgraded in one of three ways...you can either ride bikes, run, or work out on the Treadmill or the workout bike, no downsides to a full meter here. Weapon Skill is merely upgraded by using a certain weapon many times, no downside to a full meter here either. Finally Sex Appeal is based on your surroundings...in a place full of males (of the heterosexual persuasion) your sex appeal will be almost non-existant...however when females are present and your character is well dressed and fit the sex appeal will be higher. There are many, many more fun features to the game however this ratings system is the main new addition. GET THIS GAME, period!!!
