in 1998 a relatively unknown game , grand theft auto was released by rockstar . unknown to many , this game would revolutionise free-roaming games forever and spawn sequels that would be considered the best games in the world. the newest sequel to continue the legacy is Grand Theft Auto : San Andreas . as soon as it hit store shelves , i ran to the local game shop and bought it without hesitation and i wasn't disappointed . the first thing i noticed was the classic , sort of cartoonish graphics and i was glad that rockstar did not change them . often , i see/hear/read ppl comparing gta:sa to burnout3 which uses the same graphics engine(b3's graphics r better) . but come on , if gta:sa's graphics were the same as b3's i doubt it could run smoothly(if not at all) . furthermore , gta:sa just wouldn't feel and look the same if the graphics were changed . gta:sa's sounds is good(as always)but there are some nuisances namely the volume of the voice-acting(make it louder rockstar!)the voices of the characters r often too soft and sound muffled but u can turn on subtitles so im not complaining , come on dont be soooooo picky . the other nuisance is that often , during shootouts , characters will talk to u and the rattle of the guns will muffle them but again , u can turn on subs. i cant really say much about the gameplay of san andreas other than it fuses driving,on foot,flying,shooting(jus to basically name a few)and it fuses them wellllll . u really hav to play san andreas and experience the gameplay and....experience . oh , and its absolutely addictive , if its not to u then u must be a goody-2 shoes nerd! with all of that , the game has good value for ur $ and u willllll appreciate its value . warning : dont appreciate it toooo much and go get wasted or busted . happy (virtual) killing!

I've never played all the way through GTA3 or Vice City. I found that, in both games, the characters and missions did not hold nearly enough substance for me to care what happened next. Before San Andreas, GTA was only... Read Full Review
