Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Grand Theft Auto. Most of us have played the last two versions, and some of the old schools gamers here have had a romp through the two old PSX versions. Now, the latest edition is upon us. San Andreas, the much-anticipated latest entry to this vaunted series, has a ton of hype to live up to. Like Fable before it, it share the possible fate of being crushed by it's massive hype. It also shares some other values, but we'll discuss that later. Did it survive the test? Well, it appears to have survived the hype, and come out better then I expected.

What I mean is that I had low expectations for GTA:SA. I couldn't imagine what else they could do with the series, and even the previews and hints of the new features had been greeted with skepticism. The idea of playing another guy trying to make his way in the seedy world of crime sounded like fun, and the idea of a huge area to explore - one much larger then the past two games - was very exciting.  I just didn't see what kind of innovations they could really bring. Hello, Alpha... reality shock incoming...
