History.

The game is set in 1992. The game begins with the return of the main character Carl Johnson (CJ) from the city of Liberty City (a familiar name, is not it?), After he learned that his mother was killed in unknown circumstances. CJ is very difficult to return to his native city, he left Los Santos five years ago, when his younger brother Brian was mercilessly shot. However, our hero must return to avenge his family. A few minutes after arriving in Los Santos, our hero meets two of dishonest police officers, taking away all his money, and hang on him the killing of a policeman and taken to the territory of the hostile factions. Unarmed, unjustly accused, and surpassed numerically, CJ is forced to join his old group, in order to survive. Once you meet ocheHb many different characters for a brief moment in time: the elder sister of CJ - Kendl and her friend Caesar, and yet so many characters give the game an intrigue and an interesting plot (among the best games for the PS-2 this year). The characters are very diverse and unusual, because the game is very nonlinear and the plot can vary, depending on what actions you take. Game sufficiently severe in ethical terms, the morality play that there is no morality, but if you like mysteries and thrillers, it is you really like. Fans, familiar with GTA3 and GTA Vice City with pleasure meet in GTA-SA with characters from previous games, so the game will be the famous Tommy Vercetti.

Mission and gameplay.

Oh, great variety of missions. In addition to the plot, we propose to perform such tasks as: to carry cargo in huge trucks, robbing the house, take part in various races (many of them - on a bicycle, motorcycle, boat, illegal street racing on the cars). In San Andreas will also be available on previous missions familiar games, such as mission fireman, doctor, taxi driver, a police officer. For the first time in GTA realized the opportunity to play in the casino, slot machines, go to the racetrack, playing billiards, dancing and a lot of unusual mini-games, you can also play on slot machines, standing in different places. The game will be something to do for more than 100 hours.
So what gameplay - which he has undergone a change? Important: it became possible to change the viewing angle of a virtual camera during the game, you can now swim, drawing graffiti on the walls, put out fires using a fire extinguisher, to rob the house, work on the tow vehicles and much more. The system of aiming. An interesting innovation was the introduction of fashionable stealth tactics, it means you can very quietly sneak up to the enemy from behind and kill him with a knife. Even now a special rate - the level of noise, it is useful during a nighttime thefts from homes. As I mentioned, in the arsenal of CJ there are many methods of unarmed combat unless of course you will attend school of martial arts. In GTA SA you can now play with a friend, no, not a split screen, the second player to be your partner in the game and can also fight, shoot and drive a car, but the problem is that the need is not far from each other, within one screen.

Graphics.

And here lies teaspoons fly in the ointmentgame. Of course, realistic graphics has never been outstanding in the games in the series GTA. It looked good at the time in GTA3, beautiful in this regard, Vice City, GTA-SA and simply looks good compared to today's super-realistic games. But all is not so bad: models animated well, though sometimes look unnatural, enhanced shadows, they are softer and more interestingly very different at different times of day. Many buildings and structures are recreated in the likeness of real objects and look very convincingly. Even at the Sony Play Station 2 graphics looks fantastic! The good news is, what disappeared annoying pauses when loading the game world. You can drive the entire game world is not for a second without stopping. At high velocity or when flying at high altitudes noticeable that the loading of textures slows down a bit, but it is not so much. New looks and the fact that at very high speeds around the world becomes a little blurry. Range rendering significantly increased. Detailing of vehicles in the game looks amazing, too, see injury plausible.
