I must premise this review by saying when I first picked up GTA1 for my PC I knew that the game was unlike anything I had seen in the gaming world and that the series was destined for great things. But NEVER in my WILDEST dreams did I think GTA would reach the heights that San Andreas has achived. One thing you will never be able to say about Rockstar is that they put out a game just to put one out and run to the bank. With each installment in the GTA series, just when you think they have made a flawless game, they make a better game. Vice City was truly an unparalled game but San Andreas clearly surpasses it in every way. No more cheating your way through missions. Character custimization. A map modeling southern cali. Improved graphics and sound. Soundtrack reflecting 90s west coast rap. More buildings to enter and stronger mini games. Actual fighting system (with increasing levels). Character upgrading (strength (affects fighting), stamina (affects running)) and a helluva lot more I probably forgot to mention.
