Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

I got this game for Christmas and I've been playing it
pretty much whenever I have free time since.  What an awesome game.  Yes,
it is violent (what did you expect from a GTA game), but the amount of
detail the people over at Rockstar
have programmed into this game is
really amazing. There is so much to do in the game, I could probably play
it for a year and not be bored.  Definitely worth the ~$50 price tag.
There are so many vehicles you can jack, including several different
motorcycles, bmx bikes, semi-tractor trailers, low riders complete with
modifications, vw buses....and that is just the beginning.



One of the best things about this game is
the radio stations.  The
radio stations in previous GTA games were good, but the eclectic mix of
the radio stations in this game just speaks to me. I even went out and got
the game OST
with some money I had left over from Christmas.
There is something really odd, and strangely funny about running from the
police while
listening to "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man." At any rate, this
game gets two thumbs up from me.
