SPOILERS: OPM Review & New info!

Note: This news post contains full radio track listings and Voiceactor lists. If you don’t want to know, don’t read any further.

The Official Playstation Magazine (US) were first to review GTA: San Andreas, and it recieved Game of the Month with a whopping 5 out of 5. They also revealed tons of new information, including voiceactors, gameplay info, radio listings and an interview with the president of Rockstar Games, Sam Houser.

OPM confirmed the co-op feature, and revealed that 2 player rampages are possible. There are also many other 2-player activies in the game (Rampages come in two forms, on-foot, or in a car). We are also told that during 2-play, the screen is not split. In San Andreas, you have the ability to take photos with a camera, and store them on your memory card. The number of storable photos depends on the size of your memory card. CJ can also date other girls.

OPM: Why the jump to 3 cities? Why not just do a larger version of what you’d done before?

Sam Houser: We love L.A. and the whole gangbanging street culture. That time in L.A. is so important…
..to be honest, we were drawn to doing a city based on San Francisco because of the hills and all of the beautiful scenery with the bridges and Victorian Architecture. Once we’d decided to do that, it became clear that if you’re doing L.A. and San Francisco, you can’t not do Vegas.
