[Be sure to check out the coverage of Los Santos on LAist!]

We loved the last Grand Theft Auto, Vice City. The eighties music and cars, the neon glow of faux deco, the massive amounts of senseless violence, simulated sex and cocaine references. We knew that the only way they could top it would be to move it to city a little more conducive to quality car chases, and they have - it's called San Fierro.

While LAist may see things differently, we all know that LA car chases are about quantity. How many Buick Regals and Z28s have we seen trashed on the streets of Los Angeles where it's easy and cheap to shoot? In San Francisco, it's about quality. Sure, getting your crane truck up and down the hills for the follow angles is problematic, but can you say money shot? We can.
