Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas info!
More information about the game has come out in Gamespot and it seems they are going more RPGish. First of all, you are in the STATE of San Andreas with 3 different fully fleshed out cities, with different neighborhoods and everything. It's supposed to be 5 times the size of GTA III!! 
And you drive from city to city by the highways, but there is supposed to be a lot of stuff on the side of the highways.
In addition feeding your character (named CJ) is important as well. When you get hungry you gotta buy some food. If you don't, you get weaker and weaker. But also you gotta watch out that you don't get superfat either, which will slow you down. Hopefully they don't overdo it with the food. It could mess up the pacing of the game.
There is also exercising in the game to tone you up and give you some muscles to allow you to become more efficient. At the gym you can also learn fighting styles. This is important because in this game carjacked people WON'T BE PUSHOVERS! You have to beat them a bit to get their cars. In addition your skills improve by doing them more. So, if you shoot more, you become more accurate in doing it.
There are some new things you can do in this game as well, such as ride public transportation (woo, trains) and SWIM! Finally falling in the water won't = death
. In fact swimming could tone your body and get you good exercise. You can also go to places to customize the look of your avatar. CJ can get different haircuts and tatoos which you can purchase to customize him. You can also decide what CLOTHES you will wear! Also the cars you drive WILL get dirty and you can use car washes to clean them up.
Also interesting is the gang system. If you on the wrong turf, the rival gang will attack you in intelligent ways, such as alerting other people that you are driving that way, etc.
But the most FUN thing seems to be robbery. You can break into people's homes and steal their valuables while they are asleep or away. A lot of the missions will be doing dirty work for friends and family and won't get you money, so you'll have to steal for cash. And you may want to be quiet while doing it and Rockstar has included some stealth elements like a noise meter and the ability to hide in the shadows.
The game looks AMAZING so far with all these upgrades. It's really getting to RPG level with its experience building and customization of character.

But admit that gamepads are superior overall for these kinds of games, except on one point: targetting with a mouse is a lot easier. BTW, can you actually aim in the PC version of GTA?
