I can't exactly say how many hours I put into this game. To me it's just the G.O.A.T. of every single video game out there. I remember the times when I played this on my Playstation 2. Those where great times.

To me it's even better than GTA 5, cuz GTA San Andreas has three big cities: Los Santos (Los Angeles), San Fierro (San Francisco) and Las Venturas (Las Vegas) unlike GTA 5, which has only one major city (Los Santos) and the rest is very rural with a few small villages & settlements.

Another pro-GTA San Andreas reason is building interiors. You can enter nightclubs, bars, casinos, fast food restaurants and so on. In GTA 5 most buildings are inaccessible, which is pretty sad.

And don't forget that in GTA San Andreas you can actually build your muscles and make out the result, unlike in GTA V and improve your endurance in the gym.

Another reason, why I prefer GTA San Andreas is, because San Andreas offers a wide range of side missions like boxing, BMX and NRG-500 challenges, courier trips, lowrider challenges, truck missions, quarry missions and arena challenges, which I've missed in the most recent GTA release.

Eventually everyone has his own opinion about what he/she prefers, but I think it's not all about graphics each time, instead the gameplay and experience matters more, at least to me.

It just has a bigger variety than GTA 5 and more opportunities to do things and mess around in general and also allows random incidents like shootings between the police and gangs/criminals, communications between pedestrians themselves and between them and the player to happen.
