I got this game almost a while back...Its not
the best ( that has to go to Vice City ), but it is still a good installment
never the less...This installment takes place in 1992 in the west coast-themed
state of San Andreas. It too is an island that contains of three cities. In the
game, You start out in the city of Los Santos which has a lot of the same
characteristics that Los Angeles has. Another city is San Fierro which is also
based on another city, San Francisco...And finally the games third city is Las
Venturas, which is a great impression of the early 90's Las Vegas, and is my
favorite city in the game, mainly because there is so much to do and see in this
city...San Andreas feels like a much bigger Vice City, with a more getto ring to
it, and it is. You have some of the same weapons, items, and vehicles, for the
last installments, but you actually have some new ones too! Like the Jet pack,
certain weapons, and they have different vehicles! You play as a street crook,
gang member ( CJ ), who gets picked up by a pair of crooked cops and thrown
right back out into the street...Your first order of business, is to put your
image, and set back on the map...building up your gang and social status
level...And set out to take the streets back from your rivals. Most people just
play this game so they can beat the crap out of people or blow up things, which
I know I am one of those people...But I also like to play and stick to the
story...This game has a ton of extras and bonuses to collect, find, and do. The
gameplay in this game I know has to be by far the best! ( or at least for now ),
there are a good couple of new things in this game to do that you couldn't do in
the last...Such as: lift weights and make yourself bigger. Change your hair
style, eat, change your cloths or get some more ( in the last one there wasn't
really that much you could do with cloths...), ect...But I think the biggest
thing ( or at least the biggest to me...) is how you can now swim in this
game...Unlike the last one where you would automatically die if you even went
near the water...You can swim, you can drive a car in the water, what ever and
you still won't automatically die which is a good plus...So I think the gameplay
has been built on and stayed in some of the best ways possible, and that is why
I am giving it a 10! The graphics have been enhanced a little since the last
game, so I give it a 10 also, mainly because the graphics from the last, were
really good and I gave them a 9...The sound in the game is good, but I could
care less for them music and that is why I am giving it a 8. I think this game
has incredibly good value, perfect I might add! So a 10 for that! So
overall a good game, that makes for a perfect installment, any grand theft auto
fan should have this game, check it out if you haven't already!
