a5c7b9f00b After five years on the east coast, Carl Johnson returns to the city of Los Santos, San Andreas to find numerous fellow gang-members dead and enemy gangs having dominance of the city. Carl must take over the city and get his old gang back on top before the city destroys itself. In 1987, after his brother Brian was killed, Carl "CJ" Johnson escaped the city of Los Santos, a place overrun by crime and corruption, to Liberty City. But now, in 1992, he has returned because his mother has been killed only to find out that the city is much worse than it was before, and he has to set things his way, but in doing so, gets involved in a lot more. I played all the of the GTA games and they are all awesome. GTA ranks right up there with Vice City. The game isn't exactly something you want your kids to play and I've noticed each successive version has gotten more and more vulgar. It's violent - although in a cartoonish sort of way. It has lots of swearing. And it does portray blacks in a less than positive light. Still it's hours of enjoyment that'll keep you up late at nights.<br/><br/>I primarily play games on the PC as I have a better feel for the keyboard and mouse. The shooting missions are just so much easier with a mouse than a game-pad. The flight missions are a different story however. I pull out my Logitech controller for that one.<br/><br/>The layout is HUGE - probably 3 times bigger than VC. There are endless things to do. I wonder how the programmers could cram so much.<br/><br/>One big improvement over VC is less emphasis on competitive missions such as racing and obstacle clearing missions which I always found frustrating.<br/><br/>Even after you beat SA, you come back months later wanting to play the whole thing over again. And sometimes you play it just for the hell of it. Like throwing a bomb into a crowd and causing a racket. Battling the cops is my favorite activity.<br/><br/>The things that I dislike are the game-play during driving missions. The driving angle is set too low and you can't see over the hills. VC had it perfect. Also the oyster and horseshoe collecting just isn't worth the effort since you have to collect all 100 just to earn a prize, unlike in Vice City where you earn a reward for every 10 hidden packages you collect. That is the one advantage that Vice City has.<br/><br/>The graphics may not be like Doom or Farcry. But the fun is unbeatable. if you like rap,gangs,gang wars and gambling and skydiving this is the game for you.i first bought when i heard the release date and played it when i beat i was in awe cause it was so good.so definitely pick this one up.better and the best missions ever.so very gory and lots of sexuality i played the hot coffee to see why they took the game off of shelves and changed the rating and sued rockstar.it was f***ing stupid he does with his pants on nit that i care but come on they are just cartoons jeez its like sueing me for playing the damn game.that just goes to show you when a really good game comes out the government will bombard it and take it off shelves.if you haven't played this get your ass out and rent it and you'll see. No. CJ is completely drug-free. There is one mission where he gets a contact high from burning a marijuana plantation but that was unintentional. Although he does drink when he goes to the bars with his girlfriends Michelle and Denise.
