      Big Smoke: [at Cluckin' Bell, during the drive-thru mission] I'll have 2 number nines, a number nine large. A number six with extra dip. A number seven. Two number forty-fives, one with cheese, and a large soda.

    • Alternate versions
      After hidden sex scenes were found in the game, accessible by downloading a mod off the Internet, this game has had its rating moved up to Adult's Only(AO) in the US. It has also been banned in Australia due to the same reason. Both versions are set to be re-released without the hidden sex scenes sometime soon.

    Great game gets better!
    This new GTA could easily be called one of the greatest games ever made. To answer some questions without spoiling too much, yes there is a 2-player mode, you are visited by characters from Vice City and GTA 3 (Ken Rosenburg, Kent Paul, and Love Fist). The graphics are a lot better and cleaner, less glitches. San Andreas doesn't seem to be as character driven mainly because of the lack of a character screen while portions of the game loads. This game, like the previous ones seem to recall some of the early '90s "ghetto" movies. CJ's hood looks like it came straight from "Boyz In the Hood". And the characters have colorful names such as Big Smoke, Ryder, and my favorite, B-Dup! All in all, a great game and a must for any fan of the GTA series.
