Our take
When a definitive edition of a beloved game has a fraction of the original’s install base, that’s a distribution or awareness problem, not a quality signal by itself. Worth watching before recommending it outright over the classic port.
About GTA: San Andreas - Definitive
Five years ago, Carl ‘CJ’ Johnson escaped the haze of Los Santos, San Andreas…a city tearing itself apart with gang trouble, drugs, and corruption. Now, it’s the early 90s. CJ’s got to go home - his mother has been murdered, his family has fallen apart, and his childhood friends are all heading towards disaster. On his return to the neighborhood, a couple of cops frame him for homicide, forcing CJ on a journey that takes him across the entire state of San Andreas, to save his family and to take control of the streets in the next iteration of the series that changed everything.
