10 reasons why San Andreas is better than any other GTA game

#1. Better writers / storyline.

#2. Whole game is like a cross between a movie and a really involved free roaming environment. Everything you can see, you can access. There are no invisible walls like other (inferior) games.
#3. You have at least 4 different jump actions, thus allowing you to jump fences, climb on top of cars and best of all, climb on top of buildings, which definately makes the environment much more 3 dimensional.
#4. You can swim.
#5. The map is huge in comparison to previous GTA games, it's made up of 6 (or 5 depending who you ask) large parts, Los Santos city, the hills above LS, The countryside under SF, the city of San Fierro, The Desert and Los Venturas. Each city being rather individual with its unique pedestrians, buildings, cars and layout, making it a really fun landscape to explore. Especially with a pushbike...which brings me to..
#6. You can ride a pushbike! Like, seriously, sounds lame but it really isnt. You have a fast mode of transport, that if you upgrade your skills enough, you can clear fences on!#7. To get health you go to a pizza or burger joint, or a hotdog stand. Like come on! you cant fail there. Sure beats looking for some shitty flashing heart icon laying on the footpath somewhere.

#8. Upgrades such as stamina, lung capacity and muscle, as well as flying, driving and bike skills.#9. The pedestrians almost have personality. Some of them run when they hear gunshots, some of them duck. Some hit you back when you punch them, others will just hightail it up the road. Certain pedestrians are more likely to carry weapons and the better dressed people wearing jewellery tend to carry more cash. Oh and i just have to mention the Elvis impersonators in Los Venturas.#10. The massively varied soundtrack. AMAZING.
