GTA: San Andreas Impressions

I just got the game yesterday and have invested about 10
hours into it already. In fact, the only reason I'm not
playing it right now is because I'm cooking food.

Graphic-wise the game has been updated nicely. The cars have
a very nice looking specular hightlighs on them and there is
a new blur effect that happens when you are going very fast
which looks very awesome and gives you an excellent sense of
speed.

You can now totally customize your character, getting close,
haircuts, jewels, tatoos. There are now restaurants which
you can go to and eat at, to fill up your health. Eat too
ofen and you'll get fat (Theres a fat-meter). You can
trim-down by sprinting, biking, or using the treadmill/bike
at the gym.

The game has many new elements, the best being the stat
system and turf wars.

I dont want to type too much because I'm lazy. If you got
the game, post your thoughts here.

you have an incredible knack for making a 2nd thread when
the 1st one is still on the frontpage, regardless of how
many topics your normally view per page.

I wonder what you would do.

perhaps return to the AOL chatroom whence you came, yet
again failing to impress 8-year-old girls with your almost
complete lack of intelligence?

Actually. The other threads were ones in anticipation of the
game's release. This thread is for those who have it. The
intended result was to have a discussion with those who have
played, instead of people saying "screenshots look cool.
when it come out?", but your bb(fa)s(cism) put that dream to
sleep rather abrubtly.

yeah, because you couldn't have just talked about in the
earlier thread Ophecks made, that would've just been
ridiculous.

nice to see you use the word "fascism" in such a silly way,
though!

I'm not sure about David Cross, but Charlie Murphy is most
definately in the game, as is Samuel L Jackson and Chris
Penn. On the radio, the DJ's are voiced by Axl Rose and
George Clinton amongst others. Wicked voice acting for all
chars though.

I haven't gotten to the charlie murphy part yet. But I think

City?

You'll just hear them going overhead. You won't hear any
ages at times and then it'll just appear. I haven't heard
one for a while. That could be because I've been taking
Denise out though.

They do indeed crash down. First one i saw was for that
reason.

Full biking skills here man. Also full muscle and stamina.
Damn, I wish it was that easy in real life.

I found an empty wheelchair by a lake. It's quite bizarre.
Like someone killed themselves or something. There was an
oyster there though so it's all good.

I havent taken Denise out, because I wanna act like a true
gangsta. Time to time I go out and get some ho's.

Biking is so cool, when i wake up from the hospital, i run
to the ramp on the next block, take a bike, then jump to the
motorway and bike home. pure perfection.

Pimping is fun too. I got 9 in a row but then the fucking
police did me because I crashed into them.

I'm about 14 hours in and 16% complete, and it really is one
of the best games I've ever played. I found something really
cool that I don't think has been mentioned - if you walk
past the red spot outside Denise's house and up to her front
door there's a floating icon of two characters, walk into
this and the game will go into two player mode where
controller 1 is CJ and the other Denise. If one of you
steals a car the other one can get in the passenger seat and
shoot everything up.

I'm a few missions into the desert levels, I guess I'm just
a little bit away from Los Venturas. God this game is so
good. Yes Jedy Kris, it is ten times better than Vice City.
I've never actually finished Vice... I got to a mission I
couldn't beat, and I refused to cheat! But I went back a
couple days ago to see if I could make some progress and
Vice is noticeably unpolished, primative, and tiny compared
to San Andreas.
