Engaging story  
Addictive gameplay  
Tight controls  
Rockstar welcomes you to the California

The same spectacular wide open gameplay returns to Grand Theft Auto San Andreas from the previous games. This time the action game is set in California in the early 1990's. You play Carl Johnson or CJ. He is a young man caught up in a web of crime, gangs, drugs, crooked police, violence and then some more violence for good measure. The game consists of many missions and optional missions. These take place in a sprawling three city area with many towns along the way. The game is populated with people walking, driving, and riding. They react to CJ's presence if he nears them. The story follows CJ as he returns to his hometown and find himself blackmailed by renegade police officers while being caught in gang warfare. It is up to you navigate your way through the dangers of Los Santos and the surroundings. The many twists and turns in the story are told with excellent dialogue. The gameplay is improved from earlier GTA games. It is easier to lock on to a target with your many guns this time. The assortment of vehicles to operate is nearly endless. You get cars, boats, and planes. The game offers up a great selection popular music from that time period. You can play your own custom soundtrack too. The graphics are average in quality. There is pop in as you near far away objects. Also the character models have mittens for hands. But the visuals are made up for with unmatched quantity. You are put in a very large world where you can go anywhere you like. It is a marvelous task that Rockstar has managed to pull off. You cross large bridges, swim in rivers, go through woods and much more. Walking and driving about exploring is a game itself here.

Almost everything in GTA San Andreas is designed so well. This game is a marvel, a great game.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

This is one of the rare times I will give a game a perfect 5. --The Story-- You play a former gang member who recently has returned to his home in Grove Street. You are met with heavy resistance from past friends and enemies. One objective is to restore the respect of your gang members. Which provides an exciting yet suspensful setting for an Introduction to the 90s' days. As in past GTAs', the story is gripping and fresh. There are twists and turns as the story unfolds. The characters are original and colorful. Personally, 'Sweet', was my favorite. --Controls-- The controls are "pick-up and play" for most gamers, even if this your first time with the franchise. --Pros-- #1.The car looks and physics have improved dramatically. Damage is more realistic than ever. #2.Variety of missions. There are several different missions and often enemies need to be defeated more than once. Side missions are provided once again. --Cons-- #1.Cheats. Some people, such as myself, have a need for cheat codes. Once you activate them, they can be turned off, however, it will still mess up the game when you save it. That totally destroys some joys and puts you in an unfair predicament. #2.Felony. Cops always know where you are, even if they can't visually see you. This is a drawback on the actually simulation and reality. But, never fear, GTA: IV promises that will change.
