    does having to play as a black detract anything from it?

    SA was one of the best AAA titles of the era. For the time and the budget I'd say it was a much better game than GTA5, although I'm not sure how well it will have aged. With the low poly counts required to run on the PS2 honestly the graphics were dogshit. The turf war mechanic really appealed to me though, it's become kinda common place in games but it was really well executed there despite being relatively simple compared to what you see today. The enormity of the play area was impressive, even today, so if you're big into open world stuff it'd be right up your alley.

    So IDK, it was a great game in its time, and probably still enjoyable today.

    Eh, not really. It goes well with the storyline, and there are some cool gang mechanics in the game. San Andreas was the only GTA where diet and exercise affect your physique, too, and I think NPCs said different shit depending on if you were fat or muscular or whatever. There's some cool old hippie conspiracy theorist dude with a weed farm at one point in the game. That dude was cool.

    Well if Vice City holds up, surely San Andreas would as well?

    Yeah, if you liked Vice City then San Andreas is better in every technical respect. I could see some people preferring the mob and 80s/90s aesthetic of Vice City to playing as an inner city gang banger, but I think even on the story/atmosphere level SA built on VC.

    I downloaded it on PS4 and it's still fun. There are a couple of infuriating missions I wish they would've fixed but it's a good game. I'm really into the LA gangster shit, though. It is of course full of satire and parodies so you'll probably enjoy it as well.

    It is my favorite GTA.

    I remember wrecking shit with the lever action rifle on the weed farm mission. Still my favorite gun in the game.

    I think my favorite thing to do was vigilante missions in the helicopter

    Fucking game froze when I was on level two hundred something and was making like a million+ per round, I was so pissed

    That and the turf wars. Anybody ever do the glitch where the entire map turns into gang territories? Taking the las venturas strip over from the enemy gangs with all the nice cars zooming around was a lot of fun

    And getting a six star wanted level, then hopping into the hydra and dogfighting the us military. Makes me want to play it now but my only game save is at the beginning
