As a piece of video, it has all the charm of the game… meaning not much.
For uber-fans of GTA, The Introduction sheds light on some of the back story of the characters in the game. The trailer is essentially an extra, leaving the other two pieces as the main attractions.
There are three elements to the disc: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas- The Introduction, the low-rider documentary Sunday Driver, and a trailer for the PSP game Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. Since the game has not changed at all since it was originally released, we thought we'd take a gander at the extra DVD that came packed with the set and review it separately, since it is the only significant reason to plunk down more cash. It plans to release the film as a standalone documentary on UMD later in the month as well. Packed in with the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Special Edition box that shipped recently, the movie is the first of its kind for Rockstar. Instead of totally reinvesting their dough into more GTA games, Rockstar is taking a chance and releasing its very own movie- Sunday Driver.
When you sell millions of copies of a game, as Rockstar has done with each of their last three Grand Theft Auto titles for PS2, PC and Xbox, you're bound to have some extra coin lying around.
