So I played Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for the first time in years today. I don't really remember much from the game. The game mechanics are fairly straightforward- X is to run, the left analog stick to move around, square to jump, triangle is the action button (get into cars, pick up objects, etc.), O is to melee or fire a weapon. Right from the start, you see a lot of stereotypes among the characters in San Andreas: the police assume that CJ, the main character, is a thug with drug money. I see the way CJ talks as being expected for his appearance- he cursed a lot and his accent is familiar with the gangster type. It’s worthy to not that one of the characters, Smokey, looks a lot like Eazy-E who was a famous gangster rapper back in the early 90s. The game plays on a lot on the stereotypes you would find in a city like San Andreas. There are different gangs that have different colors to represent them and the game includes controls for executing a drive-by shooting - if you have the right weapon. The first mission has you escaping from a rival gang as they try to gun you down in a car. You escape to your cul-de-sac which looks fairly run-down and most of the neighbors are part of the gang you represent. I’m going to keep playing through missions and see what else appears in the way of stereotypes in the game.
