Ballistics Report

Pros

Urban renewal
Three whole cities plus a countryside to explore means you could be playing San Andreas for weeks

Roleplaying refinements
Adding cool stats like Respect adds to the illusion that you’re building a gangsta

Bigger and better
Completing the game will require 45 hours, at an absolute minimum, and if you want to sample everything, you’d better quit your job

Black and White
More serious plot is balanced with the same old dark humor that we’ve come to expect in a GTA

Cons

The PS2
It’s getting kind of creaky, so the visuals don’t compare to what we’re going to see when San Andreas comes to the PC next spring
