Grand Theft Auto takes place in San Andreas, a bigger version of
Compton. You play gangster, Carl Johnson whose mother was murdered. CJ
has been on the run and has been living in Liberty City (Where GTA 3
took place). After his mother was killed, he returns home to find that
the cops are still hunting for him. He must now take control of San
Andreas and become the best he can...
The map of San Andreas is three times bigger than Vice City's map
(Which at the time had the biggest map ever in a video game). For the
first time ever you can eat at the fast food places. But you have to
eat, to survive. Carl Johnson's character was based on 50 cent and then
follows a story like NWA. After running from the cops, CJ has no choice
but to rule the underworld of San Andreas. You now have twice as more
weapons as you did in Vice City, which means more fun. San Andreas has
introduced new ways of killing. In GTA 3 you could go to the top of the
sky scrapers and rifle people, missions where based on that factor. In
Vice City they ignored this way of killing, but luckily San Andreas
added it again. You now can also rid bicycles. It'll make your stamina
go up and it's pretty fast. The multiplayer option is a key factor of
SA which'll kepp you occupied with your friends.
In an attempt to make this game so big, the graphics are pretty crap
and cartoony for a game for Adults. So it's hard to ignore the
graphics. You also can now learn new martial arts skills and also the
way of Bushido, with a sword off course. Grand theft auto adds a
Gangster rap theme onto the game. Some characters are based on stars
like Eazy E, 50 Cent and so on. This game isn't perfect but it is the
best game of the PS2 generation and the game of 2004. It's probably one
of the best games ever, mind the graphics. I recommend this to people
who want a giant thrill in gaming, this is a game that Rockstar can be
proud of...
