Vice City San Andreas

Well, I don’t know how they do it, but Rockstar continues to put out a bigger badder and better version of the all time great Vice City….or is that Grand Theft Auto? Whatever you want to call it, and however far back you go with the game is really irrelevant. San Andreas is clearly the best installment. Playing previous versions like Vice City will clearly improve your game play, but you can still learn all of the moves…with a little time. Oh, and the game will let you know just how long you have been playing. It has stats on just about everything you can think of, and then a bunch of things that you never have.

At first, San Andreas looks very intimidating, probably because I have played all previous versions of the game. The map that is included is easily 4 times the size of the map in Vice City and that map was easily 2 to 3 times the size of the Grand Theft Auto III map. Just about everything else is improved in the game, the rendering, the movement, driving, interaction with other characters…and there is two player mode as well. Plus, for those of you who could not stand dying because you landed in the water in Vice City, CJ (your name in San Andreas) can now swim.

I can probably go on for much longer than you would like to read. The bottom line: San Andreas is everything it was built up to be and more. Rockstar rocks.
