GTA San Andreas is my favorite GTA since i havent played GTA4 yet. This is a very realistic game. You have to eat and stuff to earn back health. When you run you get stronger. And you lift weights to get buff. Eat too much and you'll get the main character CJ fat. I love the dialogue the game features. Really "Hood". The controls are pretty much the same as the previous 2 games. The game has very varied missions. Be warned the missions are hard. The game is huge. It takes minutes to go from one city to the other. Thats right, theres 3 cities! They're all pretty expansive. The game's graphics only look a tad bit better than the other 2 games. The story is good, but i'd say its a little too long since i have yet to beat the game. This is among the PS2's best games.
Bottom line, get this game if you are looking for a game that will keep you hooked. Its not perfect, but it's damn good gaming.
