Once again I played San Andreas and as usual it was more of a chore to play than a fun experience. I wasted my time car surfing again and exploding things up. I haven't continued in the story at all because I find it rather boring. So for the entirety of my game time I got the attention of the police and would throw C4 on a cop and blow them up. As a game I find it a bit of a failure and I'm thankful that I had only borrowed the game instead of purchasing it. If I were to purchase it I would at most spend five dollars if that to get the game and that is being nice. In general I find everything about San Andreas a failure of a game. The controls are sluggish, the game play is a bit boring, and the story is completely lacking. I don't understand how people like this series and have bought the games, but for me it's worthless.

After my second day of playing for about an hour I still find the game to be only somewhat entertaining. Once again after only about the hour of playing I find that the game gets boring and repetitive. I did not work on the story at all this time but I did enjoy car surfing in the game. What this means is that I would hop on top of a civilians car and hit the punch button to stomp on it. Now this would cause the driver to start speeding up and veering left and right to try and shake my character off of the car.
After car surfing for about an hour with comedic results I started using cheat codes to fool around like infinite life, spawn monster truck, and tier three weapons. With the infinite life and the new weapons I went around and started to blow up the cop cars, but unfortunately I only got to three stars when I found out infinite life doesn't save you from explosives. After that I again got bored with the game and stopped playing. I find the story a bit of a bore and the character controls to be annoying and sluggish. The only game I hated the controls more was Shadow of the Colossus. All in all I find playing the game for about an hour the only amount of time I can actually enjoy it before I find it to be more of a chore to play than fun.

I dreaded playing San Andreas because all in all from the little I have seen of the game I don't really like it. After playing for about an hour my opinion of the game didn't increase though I did have a little fun running around. I had originally had a save file of the game from when I had to play it before but unfortunately it was corrupted so I had to start from the beginning. This problem caused me to just run around hijacking cars and running people over for the majority of the time I played. The little of the story I did play which only went up to the mission to spray paint over other gang's graffiti was boring. I truthfully had more fun running around causing chaos then going through the story. The depressing thing about that is that after about an hour of playing the game grew to be incredibly boring with no entertainment value or anything else in it that may hold my interest. All in all I find the game more of a chore to play rather than being any fun but I'll try again tomorrow and see what type of cheats I can find to make the game a bit more interesting.

Played San Andreas for the second time it really hasn't gotten any better for me. All you are doing is running around improving your gang so that you can control more respect. The game is just senseless violence of doing whatever you want so long as you don't get caught by the police. I got to the point in the game where you perform your first car chase trying to take out enemy gang members. After this point I stopped playing because I got bored from the senseless violence.

I started playing San Andreas today and I have to say I don't like it so far. First off there is no real tutorial on controls you just run around and kind of figure them out yourself. Secondly all there really is to the game in the beginning is run around and do whatever you want. I don't think there are really any moral rules in the game other than don't get caught. Besides that rule you can do whatever you want from killing pedestrians to stealing cars. For me this is to shallow a game but maybe I'll feel differently on my second try.
