SOOOOO Big. That's all one can say about San Andreas. (To further prove my point of the size and scope of San Andreas, let me introduce something to you: I did a lap around the LA in True Crime and San Andreas, and the former took me 2/5 the time to complete. If True Crime is really supposed to be 240 square miles like they say, then that would mean San Andreas is 600 square miles; probably more, since True Crime cars handle unrealistically perfect, whereas San Andreas cars take a realisic approach. That would make this brilliant game nearly six times the size of The Getaway: Black Monday.)Soo many production costs- that's another cool thing. Okay, I admit, there could have been more shooting levels and a little tweaking of some of the levels would have been nice, but this still may be the best game of 2004.
