Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

There's no question that the PC version of San Andreas has more options and flexibility than any other available version.

PC Without Being P.C.
The PC version of San Andreas definitely has the capacity to be the most visually stunning of the three versionsif you have a cutting-edge video card and tons of RAM. You'll find a wide variety of graphics options on the PC: Upping the screen resolution and antialiasing settings will add tremendous visual -clarity, while boosting the Draw Distance meter enables you to practically banish distracting draw-in and pop-up altogether. That's an enormous advantage. Another nice touch is that you can play your favorite MP3s through a custom radio station. And it would be foolish to overlook the future promise of user-created modifications and upgrades (such as Multi Theft Auto, an awesome free multiplayer add-on for GTAIII and Vice City).

There's no question that the PC version of San Andreas has more options and flexibility than any other available version. But San -Andreas was designed as a console game, and it's always going to be a console game. So it's no big surprise that the PC controls are, well, -demanding: Casual players are likely to be intimidated by the more elaborate control scheme. PC pros are sure to love the game's ?ber-precise mouse aiming, but when it comes to vehicle control, the mouse and keyboard just aren't ideal. Sure, you could always use a USB game pad, but that means you'll have to shell out another $20.

Verdict: Second Degree
In the end, San Andreas for the PC has the most to offer. But considering the steep system specs and the key binding headaches, casual players may find that it's more trouble than it's worth. If you're a PC pro, however, this is definitely the version to get.
