Okay so where do i start. Basically you play as CJ (Carl Johnson) and your mother has just been killed, so you return home to the state of San Andreas, a California knock off, after living in Liberty City for some years. There you meet up with your Brother Sweet and your "homies" Ryder and Big Smoke (Big Smoke is fat) and there you work for your gang the Grove Street gang, it's funny because in my hometown there is a street named Grove street. Anyway you have to help the Grove fight rival gangs like the ballas and the eses You start out in one big Ghetto city named Los Santos, that is supposed to replicate Los Angeles, it has a rich section named Vinewood where this rapper Mad Dogg has his mansion (which you later break into to steal his rhyme book). There you meet crooked cops officers Tenpenny and Pulaski. After you complete all your missions in Los Santos, you will be stranded in a small country area, complete with a gigantic mountain. this is where you meet your girlfriend, Catalina ( name ring a bell). a blind race car driver named Wu Zi Mu (woozie is his nickname), and a hippy named the truth. Then you go to a San Francisco replica town called San Fierro where you work for Woozie and meet his nerd friend Zero, who owns a remote controlled plane store and is engaged in a robot war with some other guy, who holds a grudge because Zero beat him in a science fair years ago, what nerds. After San Fierro you go into the dessert where you learn how to fly a plane for a secret agent and then perform missions using the plane. then you go into a huge casino town called Las Venturas, which is like Las Vegas and you do some missions for Woozie who has opened up an asian casino and for the Mafia who control a rival casino. Then you return to Los Santos a wealthy man, but the city is in the middle of a riot, your final missions take place with the riot setting a nice backdrop. Memorable missions: of course the first and last missions, the drive through mission in which everyone is shooting the rival gang except for Big Smoke who is too busy eating, the catalina missions, the lowrider mission where you meet your sister's boyfriend (whom your older brother doesn't like because he doesn't want his black sister dating a puerto rican), the race car mission ( first year i had this game i remember playing this level on thanksgiving of 2004), the port o potty mission ( this was december 7th 2004, the day my dad hurt his fingers), the og loc missions, the Zero missions which me and my cousin hate because they are so difficult, the plane training missions ( during Christmas vacation 2004, me and my cousin beat the last one on New Year's Eve), the riot missions, and the Mafia missions, especially the one with the snowy background and where the guy is tied up to the roof of your car and you have to drive crazy to scare him. Overall a fun and funny game, i had a great time with it and some moments i remember like they were yesterday. San Andreas is AWESOME
