As I am playing this game I notice that there is not much i would change except for a couple things. First I would make the graphics better. The graphics on the game are not bad, but I think they could be much better, especially compared to other games I have played. Also I would make the environments a little more interactive. For example, instead of only being able to go into certain homes and other places I would make all of the environment accessible to the player. This game gives me some ideas to make my own game, but I do not think the ideas I get from this game are appropriate for a game for class. This games gives me ideas of violence and destruction that some poeple might not like or agree with. This game is not complex in terms of gameplay, but at times it can be hard to learn your way around the cities and find the best and quickest ways around. I like the reward structure in the game because as you use certain waepons or vehicles more often, your skill with that item increases. This is good because it lets you become stronger throughout the game and also it is challenging to get all your upgrades all the way up. I did experience flow while playing this game, but that was due to the storyline and character progression. This game is not meant for multiple players but there is a multiplayer aspect. At certain times or in certain places you can have two players playing at the same time, but the other player's abilities are limited compared to the main player. The use of cutscenes in this game is mainly to entertain the player through comedy and storyline, but the graphics are not very good.

The characters in this game are some of the best I have seen. Although much of the game and its characters is about violence and destruction, the characters have thoughts and feeelings that many of the people who play the game also feel. The game's story and progression is good too. You start off as a man who returns home after the death of his mother and you end up the boss of San Andreas. Along the way you meet many interesting characters, commit crimes, and do pretty much whatever you want, as long as you do not get caught. The gameplay is not that great, but most of the people that play this game do not worry about that. The game is more about entertainment through subtle nuances rather than gameplay, but it is still very fun. The best innovation in San Andreas is the ability to swim. I used to hate falling in th ewater in previous games and drowning, especiallly if I have not saved in a while because I have to do it all over again. The game creates conflict by challenging the player to commit certain tasks while putting obstacles in their way. The game keeps players interested by throwing a barrage of missions and other tasks to complete throughout the game.
