San Andreas: sex, drugs and... cheats?
With such a huge game play area it’s hard to get bored of the same old scenery. Three major cities with a bountiful countryside, a small island and a desert with a restricted area provide enough variety for where you are doing the fun. A huge mountain supposedly the size of the map in vice city shows just how much playing area there is in San Andreas. Metropolises in the cities have Pay N’ Sprays to get the Boss off your tail. Car detail shops, to pimp out your ride, add some nitrous oxide and hydraulics and your ready to ride the streets.
If you want to “have coffee” with some of the girls around San Andreas, you have to look smart. They want their man buff, lots of muscle, or maybe with a little bit of a gut hanging out or maybe that someone is superficial and wants you to be a feast on the eyes. To pack on the pounds there are a variety of restaurants you can go to, to pig out. Pizza, hamburgers, chicken, it’ll all get you that closer to another hospital visit. Go to the gym, maybe get on the bike lose some unwanted weight boost your stamina up a bit or go to the bench press, get juiced, build up them guns.
Clothing is something new in this game that I have never seen before in any other video game. There are different stores to buy clothes from, each with a distinctive style. Hundreds of different looks for C.J. to wear, Each combination giving you a certain level of sex appeal. If you “get” a car, (I don’t even think this is possible, the only way to get a car in this game is to steal it) the better, more stylish the car is the more of a boost your sex appeal will get when you are around it. It’s great for your girlfriends.
The story line in this game is great, I’ve seen better but for this kind of game, I don’t think many of the gamers playing it are intensely into the storyline though, it's more about the random killing, but It is good enough to keep you playing and playing until you reach the end of the story. The story is pretty long, it could be longer but if you’re aiming for 100% completion, it’ll be just fine for how much more you have to do after the story. The characters in this game are also developed greatly; their voices and characters are unique. Throughout the game, you get to know them better and they develop into a 3-D character with more than one emotion or outlook. The guys at Rockstar excelled in this aspect
Cheats cheats cheats. You have to love them. They’re what make a game their funnest. Sure you can beat the game without them, but when you’ve got infinite ammo, infinite health, plenty of weapons to please you in your hands, with a simple code of buttons makes it all that much better. If you don’t like that crappy Tahoma you’re in, you can upgrade to a bullet or a slamvan with the all sports car traffic cheat. And if you get sick of the ground go ahead, put in another cheat for a hydra, zoom over the restricted area and pick up some wanted stars and blast the planes that are blastin’ you. And if you decide you don’t want the fuzz on you anymore, take that cheat to get rid of all those filthy cops. And with so many cheats you can have so much fun. If you don’t like weather, change it. If you don’t like being fat, lose it, if you want a new car, tap in those buttons and get you new car and smash it up and get a new one.
The 100% game completion checklist is quite lengthy. It is more time consuming than the storyline itself. Vehicle missions, stadium events, courier missions, challenges and assets are a few of these things. I still have never gotten 100% completion because I am too lazy to do all these things and its just so fun killing hookers. Unless you’re one of those “media brainwashed” little kids that can’t think for themselves and only do what the T.V. tells them to do, don’t kill hookers in real life, they have lives too, maybe, no no wait, nah how could a person who gives pleasure and diseases to so many people have a life?
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is not a game to miss. It may never leave you bored because of all the fruitful things to do in the game. It is well worth the money to buy the game, but also the PS2 if you do not have one. It is also one of the most renowned videogames known because of the “hot coffee” mini game, and its legal troubles in court. It has sparked the very stupid thought that kids will do anything they see on T.V. which is not true, everyone knows this unless you’re stupid. If you are one of these stupid people why are you reading my review, get lost, I could say more but, maybe later. Every aspect of this game is truly addictive to a gamer and may be one of the best games ever made. Get it, play it, enjoy it, never hurt it.
