With my second hour playing the game, I started a new file. I forgot how above average the acting/writing was. As far as I can tell, Rockstar captured the gang mentality very well. The introductory cut-scene provides the player with a lot of background information. Having beaten the game several times, I knew where everything was leading. I understood the motivation of the officers better. I never would have guessed that Big Smoke would eventually betray CJ. The story was written very well in that there were many unanticipated twists and turns.
The game-play that corresponds to the first cut-scenes is great because it offers new GTA players a tutorial and shows old GTA players all the cool new stuff you can do with San Andreas. Overall, GTA San Andreas is a great game that is so easy to play and get into that even a small child could catch on very quickly. **Note: game not intended for small children.
