Today is my first time playing GTA: San Andreas, in fact its my first time playing a video game on a PS2. I have to say, I was confused and startled. As the game loading, I was playing controls and joystick, to get the feel for the controller. Before I knew it, I, or rather Carl, was walking into a wall, and there was a blue arrow pointing at a bike. I was suppose to get on the bike, and go to CJ, but in reality, I had difficulties maintaining the bike and riding the bike. I ended up running over a police officer, then hitting a light pole. Needless to say, I failed. It took twenty minutes for me to arrive at the destination.
After I arrived at CJ, a movie was played, and I was confused. Profanity was used, I was threatened, and I could barely understand what was going on. Before I knew it, I had to follow Sweet on a bike. Let's just say biking is hard. It was when Carl hit a wall, and ended up biking in circles did I realize I've played long enough. I was shot at multiple times, chased by cars, and yelled at. While I was being shot at, I ended up stuck on a grassy field, where it took me a really long time to get out of. It took about twenty, thirty minutes to get to Sweet's location.
The first time I played this game, it took me about 50 minutes to finish the "missions." I had a hard time controlling the joystick, so throughout the entire game, Carl was running and biking in zig zags. He also ended up running alot of people over, hitting alot of walls and light poles. I didn't notice the behaviors or characteristics of the people around me, because I was distracted on how to control Carl properly. Maybe the next time I play this game, I'll have a better control over Carl. My first experience playing GTA: San Andreas has been interesting. I don't really play video games alot, so I felt like I was pushed into the deep end of the swimming pool and told to swim.
