Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is one of the best games of 2004 no doubt, but there are several problems that are being overlooked. First the graphics. I must admit that they are very, very good for Sony's aging system. But if you dont own one of the slim PS2s this game will run horribly. It is so demanding my system always freezes. That is the only flaw, it taxes the ps2 so much it just cant handle it, but if you have a slim PS2 this game runs great. Sound, this game has exellent sound. Also this is the best voice acting i have ever hear. Each gun sound rich. Also you can tell what kind of car is coming just by the sound of it. Now the gameplay, im sorry to say but we have seen it before, twice. It is getting kind of old. The one thing that shines the most about this game is the pure size. You can spend hours just looking around and finding things to do. There are so many things to do in the game that it is almost overwhelming. And the size of the land, we are not talking about one city broken up into 3 parts. We are talking 3 cities with miles and miles of country in between them. It takes a good 20 minutes to get from one city to another. Overall this game delivers, but it has some flaws that just keep it from being the best ever.
