I picked up Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas at the local Best Buy yesterday, as they’re having a special where you can get one of the games from the “PS2 Greatest Hits†collection for $4.99 with the purchase of GTA:SA.
I’ve noticed that the anti-“popular thing†backlash is starting up in some game forums, where the common complaint is that the fifth GTA game is just more of the same. I wonder if these same people complain about Madden 2005 still just being about football.
From the short amount of game play I’ve had, though, it certainly seems like they’ve added more to the GTA engine this time around than even Vice City did over GTA3.
So far, thumbs up.
