Tommy Vercetti pesents:a great sequel review:GTA San Andreas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
User Rating: 9 | Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas PC
As the next sequel in the Grand Theft Auto series,San Andreas had some important responsabilities.On PS2,the game showed that Rockstar Games are the best at creating action games. So,here comes the PC version.The main character,Carl Johnson,returns from Liberty City to Los Santos,a city from the San Andreas state.Well,there are 3 cities:Los Santos (Los Angeles in real USA), San Fierro (San Francisco) & Las Venturas (Las Vegas),& huge countryside regions between them,with villages,mountains,deserts,forests,etc.The difference between the cities is the arhitecture of the buildings,the climate & the people.So you'll get to explore all this space & do missions here.From shooting ones,taking turf,car chases,robbing the army,placing graffiti on the walls,sneaking & stealing things from peoples' houses,destrying houses, robbing stores & bancs,casinos to infiltrating on secret ships by swimming under coral reefs & placing dynamite on the ship,recuing prisoniers,dueling with swords,robbing the Area 51 for a jetpack prototype, boat chases,plane dogfights with jet planes,stealth bombers, military hellicopters,jumping from a plane to an other,& many many more.You'll also have secundary missions,as races,challenges,deliveries,etc. But to do all this,CJ must be skilled.So Rockstar made GTA SA a kind of RPG.CJ has skills:driving,shooting,pimping,stamina,muscle,fat,sex appeal, underwater breathing& many more.By going to the gym,doing exercises,or boxing,you increase your strenght,buscle,stamina & decrease your fat.By driving vehicles you get driving skill+ from time to time.You must eat,& if you don't,you'll get sick & die.Choose different meals from more different restaurants (Well Stacked Pizza,Burger Shot,Cluckin' Bell,etc),but do not eat to much,because you'll become to fat & you won't be able to run,& you can have a heart attack!You can also choose about 100 hairstyles for CJ,about 100 types of tatoos,& about 1000 cloathes:shirts,pants,caps,boots,glasses,pendants,etc.Tune your car,exactly as in Need for Speed-s,eith spoilers,skirts,rims,bodykits,nitrous, hydraulics,vynils,etc.Swim,or take swimming contests.Go to bars,play videogames, pool,drink,put horse race bets,etc.At the casinos,try your luck:play poker,slots,fortune wheel,etc.Or take your girlfriend out,go dancing, kiss her & make sex with her.Be a cop,paramedic,taxi driver,valet, truck driver,etc.There are so many things to do,that you can't discover them all:you'll never get bord. The graphics are done with the GTA III engine,but are better.The faces of people are horrible,but there are some simply superb landscapes,& good heat haze & speed blurr effects. The sound is really good,although the weapons don't sound convincing.The radio stations are plenty(the best is Radio X),but there are too many rap/hip hop station(rap & hip hop suck,they're horrible).The voice acting is nice & very funny sometimes. This is trully a masterpiece:consider a great game of the year 2005,one of the greates games ever,although it's not better than MAFIA...
