Dies und das:

The music you hear when doing the "Car Bounce Challenge" with Caesar is actually from an episode of the television show Buck Rogers. The episode, Space Rockers, first aired on February 21, 1980 and featured a futuristic band called Andromeda playing this song with outlandish instruments. The song is actually called "Odyssey" and was written by Johnny Harris. It appears on the GTA:SA soundtrack.

Pannen:

Filmfehler: Before the mission "End of the line" sometimes you can see the hole in the wall you crash through with the SWAT tank to get to the crack palace. You can also see the part of the Sprunk billboard sign that will become a hole at the end of the "Reuniting the families" mission.

The best of the series

In my opinion this video game has to be the best far off out of all the Grand Theft Auto games. Why? Well, because the map is bigger (6x) than the predecessor and I like the new environment which is based on the city of California, USA.

Apart from all the stunning effects in-game there are some really good actors/actresses who I think were chosen carefully for the part. Samuel L. Jackson who plays Officer Frank Tenpenny is perfect for the baddie. Young Maylay who plays C.J. is not a known actor to me but from seeing him voice the part of the character he makes a great job of it and there will most likely be possibilities for him in the future.

Overall, the game is by far the most addicting one I have EVER played in my life and Rockstar have done a brilliant job of it. Now that it is available on the PC and Xbox there are more possibilities available. I hope if a next series is made (which I think is likely because of good sales of San Andreas) it will have the same sort of feel and offer even more playing hours for thousands of people across the world. The game gets a 9 out of 10 from me.
