Unfortunately, such thing does not exist. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas takes us to the center of crime in the United States, in the early s, exactly to , the year of the great riots and the maximum boom of the Latino gangs. This video game takes place in the middle of this problematic environment. As you know, Carl Johnson is the protagonist, and he returns to the city of Los Santos to attend the funeral of his mother, who has been shot to death.
On his return to his old neighborhood, corrupt cops are looking for him for murder, and even want him to work as a 'snitch'. CJ will be forced to start a journey that will take him through the state of San Andreas, to save his family and regain control of the streets. Antony Peel. Commercials are even spliced in between tracks to create a more authentic feel, and the game is now moddable -something that will open things out even more. One thing that's missing is the co-operative two-player mode of the PS2 version, which Rockstar claims wouldn't work given the PC's control options.
Debatable perhaps, but it was a pretty insignificant part of the game to begin with, so it won't be missed too strongly. So has San Andreas on PC been worth the wait? Well, yes, quite frankly: it's a marked improvement on what was already a bloody brilliant game.
If you've played through the PlayStation 2 version then we wouldn't suggest spunking another 35 notes on it, but if you've been more patient than stupid old me, go out, buy it and play on, playa. Let's face it: for the most part, voice acting in games is pitiful. Whether it's due to the quality of the actors if you can call them actors , or simply the amateurish directing, it's a fact.
Rockstar might have the sort of budget that sends most developers greener than a leprechaun on St Patrick's Day, but it also knows how to use it We're willing to bet that a big slice went on hiring some real talent to provide the voices. And nobody does a bad job. Look to Rockstar, developers, and take a lesson in how to produce voice acting that won't have us reaching for the mute button.
Grand Theft Auto. I know what it is, you know what it is, and more likely than not, even your mom knows what it is. In our community of gamers, it's known for the immersive and innovative gameplay that gives the player freedom unlike any other game out there.
In the mainstream media and everywhere else, it's known as that one game that teaches kids how to hijack cars and pick up hookers. Rockstar Games, however, not one to disappoint, satisfies both camps by offering up plenty of innovative and immersive gameplay that'll be rife with controversy with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas , in many ways is two games in itself. There's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas , the actual game, that's complete with missions, side missions, and everything in between. By and large, the missions have been improved upon, and there are some definite 'holy crap, that was awesome'? However, some of GTA's core mechanics still suffer from the same problems that have plagued the series since Grand Theft Auto 3, like the sometimes screwy targeting system and the steep, steep difficulty level.
San Andreas is basically your virtual playground, filled with fast cars and deadly guns, and it's up to you to decide how you want to spend your time in San Andreas. By giving you a huge, sprawling environment to cause havoc in, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a game that's entertaining to just explore, or slowly destroy if that's more your thing. Some people are content just lazing the day away, accomplishing nothing but havoc and mayhem in San Andreas, and in this respect, Rockstar has really improved upon the series.
San Andreas is absolutely huge, with each city feeling uniquely different and filled to the brim with things to check out, and by throwing in some gameplay elements that are quite similar to the Sims, there's less of an emphasis on actually pushing through the game.
When you take the scope of the entire game into considerations, San Andreas is a real technical feat. Some of the textures don't look too hot and there are a few prominent visual bugs, but just about everything else has taken a step up from Vice City.
Likewise, the audio presentation is probably the best yet in the series: the voice-acting is impeccably convincing, the dialogue smartly written, and the diverse music fits in perfectly with the gang-bangin' theme of the game. If your answer is anywhere from an enthusiastic "hell yeah" to a wishy-washy "kinda" than you should probably be playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas right now.
However, if you're in the minority and your answer is a "no, not really" then you should probably still give it a rent.
Nothing in the series has changed drastically, but there's so much more content that even without a major face lift, San Andreas just might win you over. Not too long ago, it seemed doubtful that the Xbox would ever receive the Grand Theft Auto treatment that the PlayStation 2 reeled in success from.
With the announcement of the Grand Theft Auto: Double Pack for the Xbox however, the horizons brightened for Xbox owners as two of the finest titles in the PS2 library finally made its appearance on the Xbox, cementing the possibility of future Grand Theft Auto titles. And lo and behold, just half a year later after the initial appearance on the PlayStation 2, the Xbox gets the royal treatment with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas , which ultimately turns out to be a straight-up port of a fantastic game.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the same game it was on the PlayStation 2, and as such, there's no point in going over my rambling drivel when you can just read it in my original PlayStation 2 review. However, if you want the long and short of it, here it is: San Andreas is a lot of fun, and so filled to the brim with content, that even if you didn't dig Grand Theft Auto before, it's worth checking out now.
The Xbox version definitely looks sharper with a cleaner textures and HDTV support, but strangely, the load times are no better, and in some cases worse, than the PS2 version; makes you wonder what that hard drive is for, doesn't it?
Another major failing of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on the Xbox is the unnatural controller layout, and it's a fault that can't be too heavily attributed to the developers. The PS2 version of San Andreas utilized every single button on the PS2 controller, with the especially important four shoulder buttons in constant rotation, and since the Xbox has only two shoulder buttons, this creates an issue. Drive-bys, for example, are only possible with a contortionists flexibility, making the already tough game quite a bit harder.
The character models are very detailed and the player's hands are visible while driving. The detail in the game is excellent and the graphics are very realistic. GTA San Andreas was one of the first games to display 'snow' on the ground, as well as a first for the series to have a 3D environment.
The game features a day-night cycle and weather system. The gameplay is also very impressive. The player can steal any car in the game, which is a big change from earlier games in the series.
Stealing cars is not always a simple process, because the player must take the car to a garage before it is theirs. In addition to driving cars, the player can also fly planes, which is a new feature. The player can also ride motorcycles and bicycles. The player is able to explore the world and take part in a variety of minigames.
GTA San Andreas includes various multiplayer modes. On consoles, the game features split-screen multiplayer for two players. There are many different modes that the player can play.
