Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is sounding better by the day. If they can pull off all the features they've promised - and I have no doubt that they will - this could turn out to be a crowning achievement in modern gaming...and a very hard act to follow for anyone who's releasing a PS2 game this autumn. Sales numbers topping five million are pretty much guaranteed. You have to wonder where they'll take the franchise next - but at this point it hardly matters. GTA is a fantastic example of a game that's been both commercially and artistically successful, and which appeals to both the mainstream and the hard-core. Not only is that unique; it's commendable.
The final Shanghai picture (at least in the current batch) isn't particularly exciting. It just happened to be a nice combination of colours, textures, and shapes.
