Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

It's been optimized regarding graphics, controls and performance so it meets the requirements of mobile platforms but, in essence, it keeps its addictive gameplay and engaging storyline of one of the most successful titles of Rockstar Games. If you enjoyed it on videogames consoles or PC, you are going to have a blast playing it on your metro/bus journeys, especially if you play it on a tablet. If this is your first time, it's totally worth going for the mobile version first.

This new version of San Andreas comes with a few unexpected performance issues that’re surprising considering how far we’ve come in the past 10 years, but it some new conveniences make some of the most frustrating missions a little less of a pain to endure. The Xbox 360 might not be the best way to get to San Andreas as a result, but there are certain perks to choosing this route.

All-in-all GTA: San Andreas is a lot of fun, looks great, is easy to play, and is true to the GTA name. I would recommend it, even if like me, you’re not a huge fan of the series.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for Android is a fantastic port of one of the greatest games ever released. For $7 it’s an incredible game and a must buy. Even for players who played the original endlessly, the much improved graphics and portability make this one worth having.

A huge world and a great sense of atmosphere are impeded only slightly by less than perfect touch controls.

Still, this mobile port's every bit as fun as playing the original if you have the gamepad to support it, but the touchscreen control, while competent are not the best way to play. At seven bucks for some of the most memorable gaming content of the last decade, though, it's probably a risk worth taking.
