GTA: San Andreas HD Review

This 10-year-old game gets a nice face lift, but it's disappointing that the Xbox 360 can't handle it smoothly.
Time is a funny thing. In the many months since I last played and loved Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, several new games have come along that make me question my original stance that this is the PS2's best overall game. God of War, Shadow of the Colossus, and several replays of Metal Gear Solid 3 and ICO certainly don't help its case. But the fact remains that San Andreas is still one of the very best and most complete videogames you'll ever buy for this generation and it always will be. Besides, with more than 80 hours of content, plenty of hidden stuff, an excellent storyline, and a few dozen other elements I've already touched on, there are more than enough reasons for you to run out and buy this sucker right now.

That is, of course, unless you already own the original version that graced store shelves before the whole Hot Coffee fiasco. If that's the case (and it most likely is considering how many units of that were actually sold), then there's really no reason to pick up a second copy. Collectors, completists, and car freaks notwithstanding.
