GTA: San Andreas for Mac is a fairly famous game about the underworld. Not a gamer does not know so Maclife.vn would like to not recommend much. Each part gives players a new challenge. In this part the challenge will be rescuing families and controlling the entire street.
Although not numbered to show the importance of the game series, San Andeas still creates many standards for subsequent GTA versions.
Talking about open world genre can not help mentioning the famous game series Grand Theft Auto (GTA) or also known as the “Street robbers”. Almost all versions in the series are of very good quality, but for writers, San Andreas indeed occupies a particularly difficult position to replace. If you have never played through this game, it is a pity, but anyway, the purpose of this article is to introduce San Andreas to you.
San Andreas and GTA V have the same background in the city of Los Santos, so the comparison between seniors and juniors is inevitable in the article.
Plot
The plot of the game revolves around only an African-American protagonist named Carl Johnson, who has left gangs in his hometown of Los Santos (Fantasy City based on Los Angeles) to come back to life in Liberty City. (Based on New York City). However, after hearing that his mother was killed in a bloody payment, Carl decided to return and track down the perpetrator.
Already intent on giving up the days of shooting, Carl always struggles between wanting to get rich, a better life with revenge and honor. Gradually, Carl became deeper and deeper into complicated relationships with the notorious gangs as well as the corrupted police. Can Carl get revenge for his mother, find glory for the gang and have a life he longed for? The answer is for you to explore.
Graphics & Audio
At the time of release in 2004 (PS2) and 2005 (PC), you could not demand the current high-end graphics customizations. Admittedly, San Andreas was one of the most beautiful sandbox games of its time, even to this day its graphics are still in an acceptable category.
Every detail from houses, trees, vehicles are carefully cared for. You can see the faint smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe, the leaves, the newspaper pieces blowing in the wind, the windows glowing at night. The city map is very wide, but every place you go to bring a sense of enthusiasm and meticulous investment of the manufacturer.
Next are the people on the road with sayings and gestures very “person”. They will grumble when you bump into you, will panic to avoid it when you drive close to you, will be afraid to run when faced with aggressive action. All create a relatively convincing real life scene.
Not to mention San Andreas also has up to 3 different cities with a series of villages instead of a city and a rural area like GTA V (of course in terms of detail and size can not match). Each city has its own “urban identity”, such as the bustling Los Santos, San Fierro with its typical tram, or the gambling city of Las Venturas in the desert. out inferior to its predecessors.
The sound of the game must be excellent. I still remember every single piece of the game’s soundtrack from the 1990s (setting in the game) with a little mix of hip hop, pop, rock and rap. You can faint for hours just to listen to great sound tracks, trust me to hear it and you will want to live a “Thug Life” life right away.
Referring to GTA without talking about radio is like Mario without mushrooms. With 11 channels for a variety of music genres including: Rock, Hip Hop, Country, Rap and Talk Show. You can even bring your favorite songs in real life to the game via custom radio channel if you play the PC version.
You cross the immense countryside, flanked by a river and a field, dancing to the country music of K-Rose. You wander in tight cities and crowded traffic, Playback-FM’s vibrant hip hop tracks will satisfy your rebellious spirit.
The voice of each character is also impeccable. The lazy Big Smoke always grunted: “All you need to do is just follow the train”, a young but devoted and caring Sweet guy, a treacherous Tam Hoang boss with every hint in His words or a corrupted policeman with vulgar words … Whether main or secondary, each character is very memorable through voice, gesture, gesture.
At a time when face and motion technology was still unpopular, Rockstar’s lip-syncing looked artificially nonetheless, Rockstar’s attempt at character design.
Sound effects in the game are also very attentive. The roar of each car is different, the sound of the wind, bird songs typical for each region from urban to rural. Even when the screen is off, if you play long enough you know where you are. The writer once closed his eyes to the driver and relied solely on his surroundings to know where he was going.
If there is any reprehensible point in the sound of San Andreas, it is the gun sound of the game a bit flat, no sharpness makes the gun battle become less interesting.
Gameplay
The gameplay of San Andreas mainly revolves around three activities: Shooting, driving and exploring. The players need to combine them skillfully depending on each task from easy to difficult making the game extremely interesting, not to mention the cinematic quality of the shooting chase screens.
The game always makes players feel excited when tossing each vehicle into the sky or when firing continuously at enemies – a factor contributing to San Andreas becoming one of the most controversial games because of violence.
Players can shoot at the head, burn anyone with a flamethrower, smash the city and chase with the police or army with an RPG … How crazy the game is causing the uncomfortable for parents that much. This is almost inevitable for GTA, because violence is its identity. People come to the game to satisfy the hysteria in the mind that exists in every human being, but in the virtual world instead of being “applied” in real life.
Violence – an inevitable factor when playing any GTA: San Andreas for Mac series.
Of course talking about GTA cannot help but mention the overwhelming world but still meticulously invested in the smallest details of Rockstar. You have the right to do whatever you like. Racing, bicycle performance, playing sports, practicing martial arts, robbing a bank, flying an airplane, gambling … It’s hard to tell all the activities in the game.
The diverse side quests that even allow you to become “honest” people like the police, fire, ambulance, taxi driver … are also attractive swap items when you are tired of doing tasks. main service. If you are free, you can also leisurely walk around the villages on the expensive car you’ve just “stolen”, listen to the radio, admire the beautiful view – an elegant pleasure.
GTA San Andreas: Legend of a legend
Compared to previous GTA: San Andreas for Mac versions, San Andreas adds a good shot-tracking mechanism to the fly, giving you a more realistic feeling of fighting instead of always having a gecko in a pose. Mechanism hiding behind obstacles even though GTA IV appeared, but in San Andreas, you are still not too difficult to do the same thing with sitting keys or tumbling.
Character indicators inspired by the RPG genre are also included in the game such as shooting skills, driving, weight, muscle level … They take you quite a bit of time in the gym or the center. drive to improve. In terms of driving, each car has a very different smoothness, speed, and feeling of driving. Personally, I find it more diverse than many current racing games. Proficient flight is a challenge but believe me, once you have tamed the iron bird, the feeling of tumbling with it in the sky is extremely satisfying.
Do you believe this game is more than ten years old?
The game also owns a large community of modders still active today. Mod graphics, vehicles, clothing, gameplay, mutilplayer mode, the map makes the game always fresh. Installing and using them is quite simple, only takes 10-15 minutes to learn. It can be said that San Andreas is a game capable of spawning other games.
Epilogue
