Summary: Best PS2 game ever?
Comment: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is by far the best ps2 game I've ever played!
The game has incredible gameplay that no other game even comes close to! You can do almost anything; from playing a game of pool at a local bar, to flying jet planes thousands of feet in the air! You can even jump out of that plane and parachute back down if you feel like it!
There's hundreds of vehicles at your disposal, and the physics that go with them feel great.
Besides having great gameplay, San Andreas also has the most complete, detailed, and immersive gameworld ever created. The state of San Andreas (a parody of California & Nevada) feels like such a real place! You'll see gangsters and drug dealers walking around the bad neighboorhoods, rich people hanging out in Vinewood (the games version of Beverly Hills), and sunbathers hanging out at the beach. If you leave the city and go out to the country side, you'll run across small villages inhabited by stereotypical rednecks... If you travel all the way to San Fierro (a parody of San Francisco) you'll even run into some hippies.
Besides having an immersive world to explore, there's also a very well-crafted story. You'll come to like many of the characters in here, from a hippie named the "Truth" to a secretive government agent (straight from the X-Files) known as Toreno...
The whole story arc also has a strange resemblence to the Rodney King case and the riots that happened afterward (this game is set in a parody of California, in 1992). I won't go into detail, but many of the situations feel eerily similar to real events, which makes the whole thing feel even more real.
I'll admit that this game is far from perfect though:
-poor police A.I. means running from the police is more frustrating than fun.
&
-the graphics can look pretty awful at times...
But other than that (and a few glitches here and there) the game is perfect, and I can't imagine any PS2 collection being complete without it.
I highly recommend this game to any Mature gamer.

Carl Johnson left the San Andreas neighborhood of Los Santos five years ago, when it was being ripped apart by drugs and gang violence. When he returns in the early 90s, his mother has been killed, his family has fallen apart and his childhood friends are criminals. When crooked cops frame him for murder, he decides to save himself and his family by taking over the streets. Advanced role-playing elements -- Unlike previous GTA characters, Carl can swim and he needs to eat to survive Side missions help develop skills that come into play later -- from working out at the gym to gambling in a casino Features well-known actors voicing characters including Samuel L. Jackson, comedian David Cross, Andy Dick, and rapper Ice-T Soundtrack includes Dr. Dre and Tupac Shakur
