Now we should tell you right off the bat, that San Andreas looks to expand on the strong production values of 2002's Vice City by quite a considerable margin. Boasting more than three times as many tracks as Grand Theft Auto III (let me say that again: three times as many tracks as GTA3), San Andreas features 11 fully-functional radio stations with 20 completely different DJs. The song list alone is pretty enormous with more licensed music in it than in any other action videogame in history. Ranging in styles from Rap to Rock, Country to House, and Reggae to Rock, San Andreas should have a little something for everyone -- including the always-popular talk radio programming.
"Additionally, players can expect to hear live weather bulletins, deadly accurate news updates, music blocks, custom track lead-ins and outs, and call-ins from people from all over the state."
It's really heartening to see developers that can raise the bar with each outing (on multiple fronts) and then royally smash their own bar with the next. Outstanding!

you know, i think the GTA series are still the only video games that have ever featured a reggae soundtrack - i certainly can't think of any american-made ones...

I'd love if they tried something like Mafia. I absoulty loved that setting and I think they could do a decent job with it. My guess would be the 70's though I don't think it would be very interesting to see them make a modern day game. bleh

They also did London 1969 in the expansion to the original. It was very well done.
K-Jah looks great, I wonder if they'll release a boxed set like they did with VC.
