I played a few more missions, but one of the most interesting ones was the Robbery mission. In this one, Ryder and CJ are required to first steal a Uhaul type vehicle and ride to some guy's home and steal a few things. This is a new gameplay event in the GTA series and requires more stealth and strategy than the previous missions. As it turns out, they give you a noise meter to let you know when you are making too much noise, so it isn't exactly stealth in terms of MGS, but it'll have to do for now. Also, to talk as much trash as he does, Ryder really isn't that great. He stands by the van while I, CJ, am forced to get my hands dirty.
The mission is not hard at first, its more of a "watch the noise meter" versus anything else. However, it gets tougher when I am forced to go to the second floor and steal items. Even though I walk slowly, the noise meter is more likely to go up. I steal a few things and then the unthinkable happens. I tap the button to hard and run a bit. This makes the meter jump and since I am right outside of his door, it alerts him and I fail the mission. Oh well, better luck next time I guess.

After being demolished by the police, I decided to play the game as normal. I did the very first mission. It was interesting mostly because it was on bicycles. So I am riding along with some members of the gang. I unofficially raced them because one of the characters, Ryder I believe, says that he is faster. Well I speed past him, but since I have no idea which way we are suppose to be going he takes a turn that catches me by surprise, so I am forced to turn arouns and follow.
After a while, we stop and a rival gang group approaches us in car and begin to open fire. I ride quickly, be I run into a car and fly off the bike. I run back to the only to be shot a few times by the other gang members, but I am able to get on the bike and ride out of danger. I eventually catch up to Ryder once again, and I zoom past him to the target. So not only did I complete the mission, but I beat the guy who said he was better than me, even though he didn't know we were racing.

Today I played Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. I started from the beginning of the game and noticed how the police officers interact with the main character. The inform him that he is a suspect in a criminal act, even though he had been in Liberty City at the time. He is told not to lead Los Santos, or he will be arrested. As the play starts, I am given a small amount of money and allowed to roam around. I hop on a near-by bike and proceed to ride down the street. I hop over a few cars and ride to the bike park. Because of the freedom in the game, I don't have to worry about time, well at least not right now. I try to pull of a few tricks, but I end up doing more damage to CJ than anything else.
After leaving, I ride around and decide I will try to leave Los Santos. Since the roads are blocked, I swim over to one of the other sections of San Andreas. I think I am free, but as soon as I hit land, I receive 4 Stars. Well, seeing as I have no weapons, I decide to swim back to Los Santos, but I am gunned down by a Helicopter. I guess Officer Sam Jackson was serious about CJ not leaving Los Santos.
