I remember the first time I played San Andreas. I borrowed the game on PS2 from a good friend of mine early 2005. I loved the game and played it constantly, but I did not complete it because my friend wanted it back after I had been borrowing it for a month. I don't think I came any longer than San Fierro. I thought it was okay for him to have it back cause I was thinking about buying the game.
In 2005 my brother bought the trilogy pack (GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas). I was looking forward to playing San Andreas again. I had just arrived to Las Venturas on my save file when the X box 360 was released. My brother decided to sell the old X Box and I decided to play San Andreas on 360. But what I did not know was that the save file could not be transfered from the x box to the 360 for some weird reason. So basically my save file was deleted.
I restarted the game for the third time and this time on the 360. I decided to speed run all the way to the country missions so that I could close in on where I origanaly was (Las Venturas). But to all my horror, when I was right at the end of Los Santos the game froze and I had not saved. From that time on I gave up San Andreas.
I had hoped that GTA 4 would clench my thirst for San Andreas but it did not have the same feel. Then February the 18th I had just completed Uncharted 3 and Super Mario 3DS and I had no games to play. I saw my brother playing GTA 4 having fun killing people, when I began to think of all the weapons and vehicles in San Andreas that was not in GTA 4. I also came to think of that I had never played GTA 3 or Vice City. I decided to begin playing GTA 3 and completed it 21. of February. I began playing Vice City right after I completed 3 and completed it February the 25. While I played theese game I was longing for San Andreas.
Then the day finnaly arrived. 25. of February I restarted San Andreas for the 4th time. I remembered all the streets and houses and weapons and I felt just like CJ. I was home.
Today I finally completed it. Tenpenny and Big Smoke had been in my mind for 6 years and today finally took them down. San Andreas has been in my mind for 6 years and today I finally completed it. This epic game have become even more epic over this 6 long years.
Grand Thefy Auto: San Andreas. One of the greatest games ever made.
For thoose who actually have read this, Thank You very much. I just neede to tell it to fellow San Andreas lovers!!!
