After the opening theme, Rage Against the Machine’s anti-cop anthem “Killing in the Name” comes in to give things a rap/rock crunch. The first disc sets the standard in this department quite nicely. While hip-hop doesn’t totally dominate this set, there’s a healthy amount of hip-hop ATTITUDE to the mix as a whole. After all Michael Hunter’s “Theme From San Andreas” sounds suspiciously like the kind of G-Funk you might have heard from Dr. While last time around Rockstar Games released five seperate volumes compiling radio stations on the Vice City dial, this time they opted to go with a double disc CD that runs the gamut of them all and throw in a bonus “Introduction” DVD just for kicks. Grand Theft Auto games have been getting increasingly more generous with the width and depth of the music they include, and San Andreas is no exception. Personally I find that I get my video game mojo going best whenever the car I jacked is tuned to the hip-hop radio station, and as a result I’m far less likely to end up having to restart at the last save point. In reality you’d get 25 to life for that sort of thing, but in the world of video games you only lose if you get caught.

And unless you’re some kind of prude, stealing cars and blowing things up on a TV screen is a hell of a lot of fun. And is it any wonder? The games themselves ARE movies, ones in which you can play an active role in shaping the plot and the outcome. From the original Grand Theft Auto III that kick-started it all to the Vice City sequel, each game has raked in more at it’s release than some Hollywood movies do in an entire year. While overly zealous control freaks decry the sex and violence of the games as harming America’s youth and tearing apart it’s moral fabric, consenting adults by the millions plunk down up to $50 apiece for a copy of the games.

Short of living under a rock the size of Texas, those are about the only places you could be and not have either played, seen, or heard about “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.” If you’ve ever heard the saying that there’s no such thing as bad publicity, the Grand Theft Auto series on PS2 (and recently X-Box) has lived up to it in spades.
