I have played the Grand Theft Auto series since the first on that I had played on the original Play Station One. I have always had an interest in playing the game, and mostly enjoyed just driving around and causing mayhem. This time around I will be encountering the 4th edition of the game, San Andreas. However I will be playing this on the PC versus the controller of a console.
One of the first things I had considered was that installing the game was much of the classic themes of the previous games. The first thing that I have noticed was on the installation sequences showed of a Latino person with a bandana across his face, while also holding an AK-47. As well as himself there are also other people appearing during the install including an African-American and an attractive female both with tattoos. The consistency that Rockstar has been able to contribute to the entire series, is almost of a graphical comic book appeal when looking at the story boards. The wanting to convey of a strong appearance really sets the mood of the gamer getting a feel of how the game will proceed. Especially when showing the cop in the beginnings, as a very strong athletic figure that will be able to beat you to a pulp.
So the beginning of the game starts as I get picked up from the airport from a cab to go and bury my mother. When all of a sudden I am picked up by the 5-0, and they start accusing me of a cop murder that just took place. They let me off with a warning and then suddenly throw me into the neighborhoods that I used to represent. Trying to figure out how to maneuver around on a keyboard and mouse can be a tricky situation when you are used to controlling everything with a console controller. The first thing I was able to do once I was able to roam around was getting an understanding of how to operate a bike. You would think that it wouldn’t be that hard to do, but it is when I was thinking that I had to control it with the mouse instead of the keyboard.
