In my third playing around, I realized how much fun I am having, playing San Andreas. Even though I’m still in the earlier stage of the game, I think that story line is what makes this game so great. In one of my recent mission, I had to go beat up the crack dealer. As I approached the crack dealer, I used baseball bat as an weapon and beat up the crack dealer until he was dead. All of sudden I realized how much I have enjoyed the violence in the game. Due to this, I thought if this game had this kind of effect on me, what will it do to kids who are playing this game? Children are easily influenced, so I do believe that a child who plays this game can become more violent.

After playing for the second time, I was very used to the game play. So as usual, after loading the game up, I found out I had a mission to complete. One thing I found interested was when Officer Hernandez called CJ and telling him not to leave the town. It made it sound like Officers wanted CJ to stay in town to use him for corrupted action.
As game went on, I found out that one of CJ’s friend, Big Bear, is a drug addict. Big Bear is so addicted that he is cleaning house just so he can smoke. I thought game was showing that how drug addiction can turn normal person into very weak individual.
In terms of missions I have completed so far, I see them immoral. Not just mission, but how CJ just robs the car in the middle of street and saying “I’m just a street criminal”. CJ feels no remorse for his action and does not think about the consequences.

After playing San Andreas for the first time, I realized from the intro video that CJ grew up in rough neighborhood. For example, right from the start, CJ was stopped by the cops for no reason and was accused of possession of drug money. This was pretty shocking because cops are the people who “enforce” laws. I also saw very strong racism in the game when one of the cops told the cab driver “greaseball bastard” and “stupid Mexican”. In one of the scene, there was drive by shooting towards CJ. From this scene, I realized how everyone was acting not all that surprised. It seemed like they were used to this kind of violence. I was maybe because it is due to the environment they grew up in.
