Best GTA game ever!!!!

Better than GTA IV, GTA Vice City, GTA Liberty City, GTA Vice City Stories, and GTA Liberty City Stories combined!
I was somewhat disappointed with GTA 4. GTA: San Andreas was the reason for this; all of the GTA games give you a large amount of freedom. This is probably the reason for the series' success; you can run around a city with a rocket launcher or drive down the highway with a tank. San Andreas was so cool because it gave you a HUUUUUUUUGE map, like so huge that you could crash your car in the boonies and it would literally take 15 minutes to walk back to civilization (at which point I'd usually just drop a grenade at my feet so I'd "warp" to the nearest hospital.) It also introduced lots of little RPG elements such as: use certain guns more and you'd get better at using them, work out more and you'd get stronger (and your character model would reflect this), eat too many cheeseburgers and you'd resemble Fat Albert. This was cool because in the previous games you'd go on a few city-destroying rampages and all you'd have to show for it was large medical bills and substantially less ammo. San Andreas made it to where every time you played it gave you some sort of benefit. Run a bunch from cops? Better cardio. Shoot up a few police stations? Better aiming. Drive a dirt-bike all over the countryside and do flips? Better bike skills/balance and control. I've never played Saints Row 3 but I just recently started playing Saints Row 2 and it is similar in this regard. Not so much with gun skills/rpg elements, but you do earn "respect" which you "spend" to unlock certain missions. In this regard San Andreas does this part much better.
This game is 7-8 years old but the graphics hold up pretty well. It's not "Current-Gen-Nearly-Photorealistic", but it is quite appealing to the eye. The sound is great and it contains a HUGE soundtrack that you can listen to while driving around the several cities that encompasses "San Andreas." The Talk Radio Channel is once again a highlight of the game; you can kill quite a lot of time just listening to the ridiculous stuff you'll hear on the radio stations.
There are so many missions and side-quests and optional diversions that I don't even know where to begin. It can also be just as entertaining to make your own little diversions like trying to break into a military base to steal a chopper or jet or skydiving from as high up as you can get a plane to fly. This game is just as fun to sit down and plow through for half a day or kill 20 minutes blowing up cars with hand grenades. GTA 4 was a more highly-polished game with higher production values, but San Andreas gives you more freedom. San Andreas gives you 3 cities and all the land in-between; at times it's almost too much space, but this is a wonderful problem to have. This is not a game for kids; there is LOTS of violence, LOTS of bad language and "adult situations", but if the name "Grand Theft Auto" didn't tell you that young children shouldn't be playing this game you probably shouldn't be raising kids in the first place.
Don't let the age of this game fool you; this game is a VERY fun romp through fictional California and Nevada and you'll never be at a loss of things to do. It is by far the most ambitious GTA game made to date and might be one of the most ambitious games ever period. If you haven't played this game you own it to yourself to do so. This is what all open-world-games should aspire to. Once again I haven't played Saints Row 3 but it sounds as if SR3 might be on the same level (although I'm unsure if it'll have as large of a map as San Andreas does). Whenever it comes down in price a bit I'll review it and let y'all know.
