What do you guys think about it?

For me, this is tied with GTA IV for the best Grand Theft Auto. San Andreas' story, world and characters are great.

Such an upgrade over the previous two. Three whole cities to explore, plus the countryside. They managed to stream the world data from the disc as you moved about, so no more loading screens between islands like III and VC had. This was the first GTA where you could swim, so water was no longer a death trap, and the first to introduce skills, so you could swim further and faster as you got better.
