I started off with GTA 3 then Vice city+ Vice city stories then with Liberty city stories THEN with GTA SA....What a great game.

Game type: Action Adventure
Review type: Adventure/RPG

Legend: * Star (2)
** Star (4-7)
*** Star (8)
**** Star (9)
***** Star (10)
(The numbers are the rating of each aspect..A new feature to my reviews)

Overview: Now this game is..lets call it an action adventure RPG. But why RPG? Because theirs so many tiny skills to learn that GTA IV failed to include. You can get your riding skill or muscle skill up. Get stronger..or fatter. You got tons of skills like Bikes,Gun skills etc. There's so MANY! Below you will see an In-depth review.

Storyline: Your a character named CJ. You live in Liberty city but your mum gets shot by a gang. CJ comes to San Andreas and blah blah blah. Ok that sounded like a 10 year old wrote it..right?
You and your brothers are in a gang called "Grove Street Families" named after the street you live in. The storyline in this game takes more of a Gangster approach mixed with some countryside which is BEAUTIFUL. Like I said your mum gets shot you go to Los Santos (LA) to mourn for your mum. You take revenge. Then this game takes a turn for the worst. You get betrayed by your own gang member's (Not listing who that's for you to find out.) Turns out that some your own gang members are double agents. They work on the other gang. Your gang is brought to ruins by the cops..who actually support the apposing gangs yadda yadda your brother is taken to jail and your dumped in the middle of no-where on the beautiful countryside by a retarded cop named ******** who becomes the end boss.

You venture onto the other game islands (San Fransisco, Countryside, Mexico, Las Vegas)
Story rating: ***

Graphics: Its a pretty old game. Then again it could have been better. It feels like your reading a comic book. But like i say GRAPHIC'S ARE NOT WHAT MAKE A GOOD GAME so the rating I give does NOT count.
Graphical rating (Not counting): **

Exploration: You explore Los Angleas, Huge LA countryside, San Fransisco, Beautiful countryside, Mexico (ONE OF THE BEST PLACES...INCLUDES AREA 51 AND SO MANY LANDMARKS!!!), Then finally Las VEGAS which is awesome. You can fly a lot of planes.

YOU CAN EVEN GO TO LIBERTY CITY!!!!

This game has tons of airports and lots of places to remember.
You could log around 50-100 hours just in exploration!

Exploration rating: *****


Sound: Tons of radio stations. My favorite is K-ROSE..always listen to it for hours while roaming the countryside.

Good car and gun sounds too!

Sound rating: ***

Easter-Eggs: Thats for you to find out. You can even find ruins of an old city that was bombed by *********************************.
You can find bigfoot and the dude with a chainsaw. But be warned..Leave the countryside at 00:00 am..thats when the monsters come out.

Easter Eggs: *****


FINAL VERDICT: *****
10/10 OR 5/5

BRILLIANT! PICK IT UP! It's less than $15 and can last you MONTHS!..lasted me around 5 months!
