Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas Details Revealed

Thanks to Eurogamer for its article revealing many new details about Rockstar North's ravenously-awaited PlayStation 2 title, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which had first screenshots revealed during last week's E3 show. Hitherto unavailable information includes the setting ("comprising Los Santos (Los Angeles) where you start out, San Fierro (San Francisco) and Las Venturra (Las Vegas), it's an epic environment allegedly six times the size of Vice City") and unorthodox new features ("through dozens of accurately modelled restaurants and other eateries, the criminal wannabe will be able to top up his stamina meter, and actually visibly gain weight"), with Eurogamer concluding happily: "We fancy that Rockstar North's dark and satirical sense of humour, and passionate obsession with minutely detailed gameplay will see us through many a lonely night in San Andreas."

    will police get all over you just for not slamming on your brakes when a light turns red?

    No, they'll get all over you for being black.

    I'll turn into a supernova and burn up everything. Well I'll turn into a black little hole and you'll turn into string.

    They should have called Las Vegas "Lost Wages" (like in Leisure Suit Larry (Yes, I'm that old)).

    Turn off the trails in the video settings. For some reason they're on by default, and they give me a headache.
