So I'm back after a half hour of some more GTA-SA and i would like to write about the game content itself. Looking at the game from a moral standpoint the game does not have much support for itself. Many would argue about why the game is as violent and corrupt as it is. Every aspect of the game illuminates some part of a racially discriminating stereotype. From the way the characters talk, to the hookers on the corner, to the type of fast food in the game that is what heals your character, from how the police are the most corrupt, to the way that graffiti is part of the game. This game is not subtle in any way whatsoever. Many people would argue that such an activity should not be promoted as nothing positive comes out of it. However, how are we to know if there is nothing positive coming out of something if we dont try it for ourselves. And after playing this game for well over an hour I can tell you that there is NOTHING about this game that even comes close to seeming realistic. Therefore, one might question the claims of critics that, violent games lead to violent children, when if the child has any sense of what reality is then they would know that life and GTA are not comparable. Even though this is a valid argument, there is evidence that some children are incapable of distinguishing between the two. I personally find the game to be somewhat amusing but not much beyond that. The storyline appears to be weak to the point that I have more fun doing my own thing than the storymode. So far, I have been loving the fact that you can go to the gym and lift different muscle groups. This is quite funny to me. Well I am off to see if I can beat thhe story mode in an hour and a half. So far it says I have progressed about sixty percent, so I have a good chance at succeeding.

So after playing through the opening campaign of some GTA-San Andreas, which was pretty much the standard GTA opening, I decided to take to the streets and do some exploring. After I left the "gang" street I came across a stoplight with several cars; non of which looked decent at all. So I walked over to the blue sports car and jacked the driver out and hopped in. After i took off i was just holding down the gas to go as fast as possible. I was running into people, cars, streetlights, etc. as if nothing mattered at all. This was all fun and what not but I was like, where are the guns at? So I roll back through some bad parts of town and spot some "gangsters". I then roll up on them and take my brass knuckles to their dome. After I beat the life out of them their guns and money pop up and i snatch them all up. Now that i have a strap I decide to make some drive bys through some enemy turf. As I roll up on them they start shooting, so i hit the gas and blast on them. Once they were down I looted their stuff. Next thing I know this cop rolls up on me and beats me down and takes me to jail. So as I'm leaving the cop station I steal a car and start rolling around. soon enough i got some heat on my tail and then my car catches on fire then BOOM im blown up. So i leave the hospital and i see this bike park across the street. so i run over and find out that its a mini game where you get a high score for collecting all the rings. i soon bore of this and decide to roll back to the hood. at this point its been a little over a half hour so im off for the next block of my assignments. stay tuned for the next update in about thirty min.
