This installment is the best GTA game available.
San Andreas has you playing an inner city African-American in the 90's. I personally got lost on some of the urban slang, but I'm a white guy nearing middle age.
The action level in this game is top notch. It's basically a third-person shooter/quest/driving game that allows you to switch camera views (including to first person).
The most impressive feature of this game is the open-ended, massive universe you're allowed to play in. The plot/storyline missions are numerous, putting most other games to shame. Then add to that dozens races you can play, "vehicle" side missions (like putting out fires in a fire truck or delivering people to the hospital in an ambulance), and interactivity with characters and environment that provides little more than fun distraction from the main goals. You can log in dozens and dozens of ours of gameplay and still have much left to explore. You'll definetly get your money's worth in that respect.
The driving aspect of this game is excellent too. The variety of vehicles you can drive is wide (cars, trucks, boats, helicopters, planes, and a few unusual vehicles). Radio stations in vehicles allow the choice of several genres of music.
The graphics are good, somewhere between cartoon and realistic. The action and play is smooth. Loading times are annoying, but not that frequent.
I claim it's the best game ever. Fun, funny, challenging, in-depth, and addicitive. It's also violent, vulgar, and deals with other adult themes. This game is not for children.
