I was tricked into buying the first PS2 Grand Theft Auto game, (Grand Theft Auto 3) by seeing the commercial over and over again every time I turned on the television. With all the hype surrounding the graphic nature of the game, what male would not be excited? Got to say after popping the disc into my PS2, I was surprised by how much I liked it. Then came Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Well this was just right for me, being a child of the late 80s to early 90s.
Now here comes Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. I have to say at first I was turned off by the thought of all the hip-hop gangster type game play. Thinking of myself as more of a rocker than a rapper, I did not think the game had that much to offer me. I was wrong. This game is as addicting as the other two before it. Sure it has more cursing than a Quinten Tarrintio flick, but it is fun to play, period. Too many games today are hyped up as being the best thing out there just because they are pretty. It is nice to see that putting a little more interest in game play and a little less interest in polygon count has finally paid off.
So forget your Doom 3 and Halo 2 typical graphical masterpieces. Get back to your roots with a little fun game play and a little Grand Theft Auto.
