When GTA: San Andreas was announced I found it hard to believe that Rockstar could improve upon the excellent GTA: Vice City. But they did just that. San Andreas is the largest game ever created. Without all the extra stuff to do such as playing basketball and lifting weights the game can't be completed in less than fifty hours. I have spent countless hours merely exploring the huge world(roughly 6 times the size of Vice City)and driving around listening to the awesome music. The story is epic, filled with colorful characters and interesting dialogue though the use of the f-bomb was just a tad overused for my taste. You find yourself as the guy doing all the dirty work throughout the entire game but thats by no means a bad thing. A multiplayer mode has also been added but I found little to no entertainment in that category due to horrid camera angle the fact that you can't aim while playing with a friend.
San Andreas is the largest and most entertaining game that money can buy. If your one of the few who have never played it then hurry up and don't miss it.
