FLAT-OUT BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED. Unbelievable, Superb, A Masterpiece. I honestly cannot recommend it any better!
Lets start by saying that the PC version is so much better than the PS2 one. The loading time is so short its simply incredible. If you have a good/awesome graphics card - turn your resolution right up and enjoy the ride! Make sure, and this is VERY IMPORTANT, to turn your Anti-Aliasing to an optimum level - Make sure it is turned on at all costs. If you have a powerful graphics card turn it up all the way! It makes the game look fantastic.
The Music is a strong selling point of this game, and the variety of sounds leaves plenty of choice for every taste. If you like Hip-Hop and RnB, you are especially in luck coz this game is Gangsta! The voice acting is so amazing and so inspired, it is enjoyable to sit back and simply listen to the dialogue.
The gameplay is.......................Work of Art. I never enjoyed any other game's variety as much as this game. It combines at least 10 genres! No kiddin, for example: 3rd person shooter, role-play, driver, racing cars, racing bikes, tricks (cycles), the sims (food, shape, muscle etc.), air combat, flight simulation and more. With so much variety you just get addicted, and so I did.
In conclusion, This is the best game in the world, Best Game of 2004, Sold over 4 million copies worldwide, went platinum in 1 month, definitely THE BEST in the series. If you haven't played it, run out and get right now. Honestly, San Andreas is so good it is simply unfair to all other games.
Thank you Rockstar Games!
