Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (Original Release: PS2, 2004)
Best: So Damn Big: Being able to explore a full state with multiple cities on a PS2 seemed impossible, even when I was playing it. And yes, San Andreas might have large empty areas, but I still think those areas, like the Bone County desert or Mount Chiliad, were great. These locales were offering players a world that wasn’t always filled with things to do or see, something that helped create better ambiance. Sometimes you just want to cruise down an empty desert highway listening to K-DST.
Worst: Stealth: It worked, but it wasn’t much fun. I get the desire to shake things up, but creeping around in shadows to avoid guards ain’t what I want out of Grand Theft Auto.
