[glow=red,2,300]I'm going to post this really quick because I'm tired. I've been following GTA: San Andreas quite closely and the original release date was set for October 19th, 2004. For whatever reason, the date has been pushed back ten days to October 29th, 2004. If anything changes, I'll let you know.[/glow]

COMMUNIST! Well, I can actually understand that though. They are just made to be violent and teach you how to become a part of the seedy underbelly of the urban drug-infested cities of america. Wait...why don't you like this game again?

Wow. Anyway, as I promised, here's the update about GTA:San Andreas.
GTA:San Andreas is centered on a man named Carl Johnson (CJ). After a problem with his brother Sweet Johnson, he spent a few years in Liberty City but later returned to San Andreas (this is just an extremely quick background).
San Andreas is not a city, it's a state comprised of fifteen cities. Three large cities and twelve small towns. You will be able to travel in between the cities but be warned, in between the cities are the small towns and it can take up to fifteen minutes to cross country-like terrain. There are new vehicles that make travelling across rugged and smooth terrain such as ATV's and souped up pickup trucks.
Within the cities, you can see a very big change from the previous GTA's, such as four person drive-by's, real-time reflection on cars and new car designs. Also, a new element of has been added which is considered the key to several missions: robbery. Not just any robbery, the home invasion kind of robbery. Yes, you can actually enter into homes and jack their things. Also, it is said that you will be able to build and run your own casino.
The folks at Rockstar didn't stop there, they also added a more realistic turn to the game. For the first time ever, you will be able to eat food and have it affect your outward appearance. If you eat too little (or not at all) you will become extremely thin (and the people on the streets will comment about it). If you eat too much, then you become a fat bastard (and the people will actually call you a fat bastard). If you think this is no big deal, try this on for size: depending on your physical status, it will affect your missions. So if you're doing a mission that involves a lot of running you better believe it'll be extremely difficult when you weight 300lbs.
So here's another element they've added: CJ is able to keep in shape also. One, through the use of running around (as always), by a bike (yes, Rockstar has given us bikes!) aaaand *drumroll please!* CJ can ACTUALLY SWIM!
For those who are concerned about the voices and radio/soundtrack, there have been little said. The names of the voice actors have not been shared so no one knows if there are any big time actors/actresses that will be involved in the voices of the characters. For the music, rapper Snoop Dogg has been named as one of the artists. One thing Rockstar wanted to make clear is that they would not center their music solely on rap and they would definitely have a variety of music.
For now, that's all. I'll update when I find out more for you all!

Much fun engaging in unadulterated violence against persons that game is composed of.
Good for playing after a lousy day at work, thought it might be me that enjoys whipping out an assault rifle and hosing down a large groups of civies.
Yay for video games!

[glow=red,2,300]Know what? I completely agree with you. I can't wait until this game comes out. It's funny how ghetto the previous games were to begin with but now when they have an actual black main character, a lot of people say it's too ghetto for them to play. Just a thought because it makes me angry.[/glow]

surposedly there had been racial issuses involving the gta games which was always "your a white guy, you kill people" racial minoritys believed it was teaching the white youths of the world to slay minoritys that were always gangs, like the mexicans or chinese in 3. and thats surposedly a main factor as why this game is ghetto, to prove a point. its not just cracker's thats kill its the blacks too.
its already out i know and ive got a copy so im gonna go get a 40 ouncer of hot coco and some weed, and wrap a bandana around my head,put on a baseball cap and some bling . stick some pellet guns down my trousers and go play aiiiiight. peace out yo

[glow=blue,4,300]LOL, yeah, you do that Nori.
Speaking of GTA:SA... There has been a problem with the game already.
According to a very reliable source, the game creates a problem for the owners of the game and older model of PS2. Apparently it affects the lazer that reads the disc because of the new format (don't quote me) and destroys the lazer so it can't read anything. The best thing that can be done if you're experiencing problems is to talk to tech support or if you were lucky and smart enough to buy a 2 Year Replacement Plan from Best Buy when you bought your PS2 then you can just trade it in for a brand new PS2.
Hell, if you're lucky, you'll get one of the new smaller ones. [/glow]
