Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for the Xbox is without doubt, the best looking iteration on console thanks to the Xbox’s aliasing ability. Now there are less repeated textures, clearer signs and graffiti and the characters look less washed out. The draw distance has improved, but not by much. San Andreas also features the much needed Xbox-only ability to play custom soundtracks during the game. The custom soundtrack option truly makes the music that much better. The story is more accessible than 3’s or Vice City ’s hands down. Because you’re not controlling a murdering thug whose sole purpose is to make money, San Andreas’s premise becomes almost humane and nothing short of epic. CJ is one of the more human and empathetic characters to come along in a while. And as per the life of the streets, when you lose them you’ll feel you’ve lost someone forever. Rockstar did an excellent job with both the story and the script writing, which has many the homage to classic films. The Xbox version of San Andreas gives the new ability to watch a replay, though I hardly find it necessary - unless you do something really cool. Five years ago Carl Johnson escaped from the pressures of life in Los Santos, San Andreas. Now, it's the early 90s. Carl's got to go home. His mother has been murdered, his family has fallen apart and his childhood friends are all heading towards disaster. On his return to the neighborhood, a couple of corrupt cops frame him for homicide. CJ is forced on a journey that takes him across the entire state of San Andreas, to save his family and to take control of the streets.
