One completely extraneous addition - or more accurately, category of additions - is the inclusion of random, domestic animals. Myriad cat and dog breeds can be found all over San Andreas. Poodles prancing alongside leathery old starlets. Fuzzy felines stretching atop fences. And that fuzz! It's a little silly to gush over legitimately furry-looking fur, but, relatively speaking, we haven't seen virtual hair this hairy since Conker 64 was remastered on the first Xbox. What is perhaps most impressive is the authenticity of its look being achieved in an open-world where so much else is going on. Too bad those haptic-feedback triggers can't simulate petting cats. It might not feel like fur, but the purring would translate to a rumble quite nicely. Bears don't purr, do they? Let's find out.
