24. High Noon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj_ymQ3o_yU Finally we get the sweet release of killing one of the cops who made life increasingly difficult; stamping him out with the true line Youre an ass hole to the end. Never a more fitting ending was made.
23. Cesar
The Mexican angle; hes a sometimes funny and always interesting character whose passion for Kendl gives the game a love angle stronger than others; even though they are never explicitly dealt with his and CJs discussions on the topic help develop a bond and affection for the character. Also hes present for some of the games more intense and exciting missions, chasing a freighter truck on the motorway or stealing cars from the second floor of a building. Always exciting and interesting hes a character whose missions are rarely dull; even if we dont give a shit that the yay is leaving San Fierro.
22. The Bonus Missions
The range and diversity of bonus missions in San Andreas are of such a high standard that every open world game tries to emulate and surpass them; but few get even close to the level of these. Ranging from business opportunities, to fun challenges, to races and to actually helping the community; the depth of bonus material and things to get involved with really immerses you in to the world of San Andreas whilst also presenting new challenges and tests of commitment on just how much you want that 100%.
21. Black Project
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1cXWkG0uqs The Truths missions were always wild and this is definitely the most out there; dropping you off outside a secret government facility and asking you to steal something. This is a complete balls to the wall fun mission which you can try to do subtly, but is more fun to just run in all guns blazing. From the pitched gun fights in all areas of the compound to the conclusive escape of you soaring out on a jetpack, this is just a mad, and incredibly fun mission which is memorable long after youve finished playing.
20. Sweet & Kendl
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpTizzox2Qo Now I embrace difficulty; but this is one of the more difficult opening missions Ive experienced, pedal too fast and you will lose everyone, pedal to slowly and you get shot by enemy gang members, WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME CRUEL TORMENTOR? Despite this; its a fast paced, out there beginning to the game which throws you straight in to the world of gang violence. Also the introduction of Sweet and Kendl and the apparent heat between Sweet and CJ gives you indications in to family past and a glance in to how desperate Grove Street Families are in the land of gang warfare.
