IGN: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Special Edition DVD Review
IGN: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Special Edition DVD Review: "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. 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. The trailer is essentially an extra, leaving the other two pieces as the main attractions.
For uber-fans of GTA, The Introduction sheds light on some of the back story of the characters in the game. As a piece of video, it has all the charm of the game… meaning not much. It plays out like an extended cut scene from San Andreas and uses the in-game models to tell the story. What results is a rather ugly animated feature that plays like an over-extended cinematic, and will only be interesting to those who were drawn deep into the story of San Andreas. The voice work is solid, but the story isn't very compelling. Definitely not worth the purchase of the Special Edition."
