Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...

I would just like to say that this is THE best game I have ever played on the Playstation 2. Essentially it is the shear size of the game, as well as the freedom this game allows that makes it so excellent, although the violence and comedy is very cool!! Come on Ms.Roberts, ban this game too... :-)
A small intro to GTA:San Andreas. You play CJ, who can run around the huge playing area stealing cars, planes, bikes, boats or trucks, killing people, get it on with hookers and numerous other 'enjoyable' tasks. Complete missions or if you're feeling a bit brain dead simply drive around the city and have some fun... :-)

I've been doing reasonably well with this game and up to 62% complete without really doing anything but the main missions. I was initially stuck on the 'OG Loc - Life is a Beach' mission, which almost made me give up entirely. It was one of those tasks where you have to push the correct button to make your character dance in time with the music. After numerous attempts and a break of three weeks I gave it another try... Success... I even got 500 points more than I required. Woohoo!! :-)

So now I'm stuck again... This time it is the first Zero mission, where you have to shoot down the RC planes with a machine gun. What a piss off... You have to make very subtle movements with the analog sticks to get in front of the planes and shoot them down before they drop their bombs, destroying Zero's radio towers. Fortunately, with the design of this great game you don't have to complete a mission before doing another, as there are usually 3 or so other missions you can attempt before going back to the one you're having trouble with.
