San Andreas, as a whole, is one of the if not THE best game to come out on the PS2. It's graphics aren't cutting edge, but it's gameplay is. This is so addictive that you'll find yourself not going to work, school, whatever for days at a time. You can play on and not even realize you've been playing for 10 hours strait, that's just how fun it is. The missions : It seems that the missions are just right at the start, and they stay about the same if you use cheats, but if you don't, then that's a very different story. There are only a few missions that will really bug you, such as the missions where you have to keep up with the train, or flight school. It will take a very long time to beat the game, the story just keeps going on and on, pretty soon you think it's about to end then bam, a whole new story takes place. If you don't like gang banging, just stick with it for a little, pretty soon you'll find that you will be doing missions for the mob and the triads, just like in previous gta's. You will find many ties to previous GTA's also, but I'll save the surprise. GTA: SA is just simply amazing. For hours of fun entertainment pick this up, I'd buy it for $100.
