As soon as you passed Vice City, you needed "Fresh blood", And you began to put all sorts of mods and find out the slightest news about the next part. And having heard or read the next article, it became more interesting and interesting to you. Oh miracle! On June 7, 2005, this is a great, not amenable to description, an event that will be remembered for a long time Russian fans and just gamers: in Russia there was a sequel to the long -awaited GTA of the series – Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas!

The story of one city.

Now – early 90, rap, hip -hop, "Black" quarters, street gangs, scumbags, flowering of crime. You are Carl Johnson (Karl Johnson), known in your circles as CJ (Siji). You moved to Los Santos – the hometown of Karl, San Andreas from Liberty City, known to us by GTA 3, but the plot with the previous parts ended up with this – it was just a link between the parts. It turned out that during your departure, the mother of Karl, she is also the head of Orange Grove Families (family of an orange grove), died, and our gang suffers one defeat after another and loses its possessions. BALLAS and VAGOS have shifted you out of recognition, and experience the frequent internecine wars. Your older brother, Sweet (sweet), is trying to return all the gang affairs in place. After the arrival of Karl from Liberty City, our gang meets us quite cold, for 5 years of separation. Immediately after your arrival, you have two garbage take all the loot and threaten. That’s the whole plot, watching the videos, you will find out the details in the course of the game.

What new?

I will not shout in my soul and I will say directly: almost everything. There are a great many gameplay changes in San Andreas, so let’s start with them!

Firstly, I think it is worth explaining that my boom in my behavior that GTA has become RPG, but the most interesting thing is true! Rockstar (Rockstar) changed the entire gameplay in the root, and now I will explain what has become such.

You won’t believe it, but skills have appeared/skills, and almost every game action. Somehow: driving on a great, motiks;boat swimming;Helicopter flights and aircraft;shooting with two hands;shooting on the go;and t.D. (personally reminded me of Xenus/Boling Point). But there are 6 main skills: hunger, respect, endurance (breathing), muscles, completeness (obesity) and beauty (sexual attractiveness).

So let’s deal with the main ones: hunger.

And so, let’s start! Immediately after the start of the game, it is striking that instead of digital (percentage) lives there will be stripes, as in RPG. But it is not called health, but hunger. But there is a big plus in this, since now you do not need to look for health, you can simply and plow lunch in the first catering restaurant that falls. And there are as many as 3 types: "Chicken-grille" (Cluckcin ‘Bell), "Pizzeria" (Stack pizza), and something reminiscent of McDonald’s.

Respect is very important in this game, it depends on it, they will shoot at you at every step or even flies will be driven away from you "Flies". In San Andreas, now after passing this mission, some part of the card will certainly open. But initially the whole card, except for hospitals, stadiums and airport, belongs to gangs. And these gangs with their territories are marked on the map in different colors. The color of your group of 5 people is green;Ballas gang color, part -time, your sworn enemies – purple. There is another group – Vagos, their color is only yellow. But each color has a shade, the darker, the more important the area for the gang.

Almost the entire card at the beginning of the game belongs to the Ballas gang, and you have to be content with houses and their courts in which your gang lives. To grab a piece of enemy territory, you need to come to the territory and find several representatives of a competing company (this personalities usually go with a herd of 5 people), and shoot them. Then the inscription will appear with red-black letters that you started the gangster war. You will try to bang in all possible ways.

What to do to raise your authority? And this is an interesting question. Firstly, money, in large quantities. Secondly, the territory and its capture. Thirdly, there are a lot of cars, trunks and a punks, but all this directly follows from the first.

And I like this the most! If you eat fat foods, such as hamburgers, etc.p., And do not go to the gym, you will become fat. But everything would be nothing, but because of this, authority falls, and you can not ride on great and small motiks. And they will tease and call you.

Muscles.

In any of the 3 cities there is a gym, and in San Fiero, even the Hall of Eastern Martial Arts. There are 4 types of simulators: an exercise bike and a treadmill, they increase endurance. And dumbbells with a barbell, they remove obesity or build up muscles. You can also install a different load. The process itself occurs in the form of arcade mini-games, which reminded "Dead to Right". The muscles are very clearly visible on the body and increase your sexuality.

Sex appeal.

This indicator affects how all the girls will be treated with you, including your. And it basically affects the clothing and condition of the body. Yes, you were not mistaken, now you can draw your clothes yourself, picking up various styles and colors. There are many stores in the game, so there is a choice. Shops also differ in price range from garbage to French boutiques.

And the clothes are divided into many subgroups: top (torso), bottom (legs), shoes, accessories (chains, rings of glasses) and many other outfit elements.

Your haircut also affects attractiveness. They cut you off, as it is not strange in hairdressers, which, unlike stores, have no names, but by their location you can determine what prices are in them. In small villages, a garbage and quarterly type of hairstyle, if I can call it out, make a tap-lip, but for pennies. The whole spectrum of hairstyles do not dare to list even the most persistent and patient gamer.

There are also various tattoos salons, there is also a huge selection of different colors. Tattoos can be reduced, but pleasure is not cheap.

Endurance.

Endurance affects how long you can run with sprint and ride BMX with high speed, as well as on the speed of swimming. Here is the fun, now it does not sink like … an ax, but even can dive.

You could finish my story on this, but this is not all, so we read on.

What new? (part 2).

As I have already stuttered, now we have a whole state – a prototype of the state of California. There are 3 cities in it – also prototypes Los Santos – Los Angeles;San Fiero – San Francisco;Las Venturras – Las Vegas! The indescribable beauty of the mountain, fields, forests, meadows, small villages, and even deserts are also present. The level of height rose 2 times compared to Vice City. And I’m generally silent about vehicles, they became incredibly many, all types: from a bicycle (ordinary, mountain and BMX) to airplanes. There are tractors, liftingmen, water scooters, etc.D. To put it mildly, there is everything. And by the way, any transport can be tuned beyond recognition. All NFSU fans are dedicated to.

I can not help but miss the fact that you can go, and even more so to rob almost any building in the state. The process itself is very interesting: you are in a mask, on a special. technology, at night Tune Kazynoye Property. If the volume indicator rises above the norm, then 20Bet Casino revisione the residents will wake up and you cannot avoid unplanned meetings with the law enforcement officers.

Now the player can snoop in the shade, crawl, fatly beat from behind.

Weapons, oh, weapons. In the game, he became indecent a lot. There are kalash, bat, reinforcement, balp with paint. I’m afraid you won’t believe it, but there is an automatic self -serving, he is a pharymmetator.

New gameplay things seem to be over, although not a fact! We go further.

They became smarter, and more sympathetic.

Graphics and physics, in my opinion, the weakest place San andreas. After all, San Andreas uses the same engine as GTA 3/GTA: Vice City. But Rockstar made the impossible: they squeezed everything to the last drop from this engine, only adding a shader shading there, and now it gives out a very good picture. Only now models are not issued by special polygonity. And yet, because of the shaders, this iga will not go with the owners of GeForce 4 MX. It is because of this that the system requirements are not so high. Rockstara engine greatly upgraded, adding many new effects. With fog, visibility is almost zero, with rain – the image is blurry, and when you rush at high speed, the image stretches/blurs. The animation of the characters and their roundness were also very pleased (smoothing at a decent level).

And the last, modernized AI. Men react adequately to you, and the policemen became much smarter. Now their ambushes and chases are very realistic and thought out.

Rap uprising for the noise of the surf.

Everyone knows that in the early 90s of the last century there was a mass urbanization of rap and hip-hop in America, here Rockstarovites, to maintain the atmosphere of that time, made a game about black and rap about rap. And, as in the previous parts, radio stations consist of music, djev chatter and advertising, and all this in very competently selected proportions.

Residents of different cities and quarters listen to certain music, and on the streets you can even hear someone singing another hit from their beloved radio station. For example, country loves in suburbs and villages. Different gangs also listen to different music and only the cops, doctors and firefighters have no opportunity to listen to the music, they have to be content only with negotiations in which there are many humor.

The sounds in the game are realistic and beautiful. The sounds of shootings, the noise of water and trees are very well made. And the voices of the heroes voiced by professional actors, beyond praise.

If you are interested, then here is the list of all stations to San Andreas:
"K-dst" – Folk rock, metal, hard and classic rock. DJ- Tommy Smith (Tommy Smith).
Radio "X"- continuous rock, mainly alternative. DJ – Sage (Saj).
"K-Jah West" – Raggi, and that is what it says. DJ – Marshall Peters (Marshal Peters).
"K-Rose" – Only country. DJ – Marybeth Maybell (Maribet Mabel).
"BOUNCE FM"- Funk and hypno music 90s. DJ – The Funktipus.
"Master Sounds" – Another funk station. DJ – Johnny Parkinson (Johnny Parkinson).
Radio "Los Santos" – Ordinary hip-hop 90s. DJ – Julio G (Julio J).
"Playback" – Ordinary, dynamic rap. DJ – Forth Right MC (no translation).
"WCTR" – The most boring radio. One chatter, no music.

Afterword (epilogue).

Unconditional hit, the game of the year and, definitely, the best of GTA. After all, even before her appearance, she already became a hit number one and did not lower this title. There is everything that I wanted and so did not get other games. Let the graphics are a little outdated, but the gameplay has become furious and hot, and not let you go for a second from the monitor.
