Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas — PS2 Buy it at Amazon

Buy it from InSound

The latest installment in the wildly popular and successful Grand Theft Auto series is San Andreas, a land eerily similar to San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas—indeed their names are changed but the locations and landscape is pretty true to these three cities. What makes this game absolutely essential is the very scope of the game. In it, players can literally interact with practically every object. You can swim, you can climb fences, you can date a girlfriend, you can eat food and get fat or work out and have massive muscles. You can increase your abilities with a variety of skills—weapons, swimming, driving, and sex appeal are just a microcosm of the personal almost-Sims like role play. The game is undeniably massive with huge country and landscape in between the three cities; indeed each city is almost the same size of the last Grand Theft Auto game. Yes it’s that big! Gameplay is predominantly similar to Vice City though there are plenty of new tricks to learn. You can play basketball, gamble, and play dance mini games that remind of Dance Dance Revolution. This game is absolutely essential for any serious gamer or even casual Playstation nut.
