Pros
Pro Runs well on dated hardware
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, being a game from the year 2004, works on pretty much anything today, including mobile phones. The modification itself adds little overhead to the whole system.
Pro No arbitrary limits on the number of player slots
As long as your hardware keeps up, you can have as many players playing simultaneously as you want.
Pro A wide range of gamemodes to choose from
These include Race, Deathmatch, Briefcase Race, and Freeroam, and are accompanied by a multitude of user-made gamemodes to be found on the modification's website.
Pro Multiplayer
Multiplayer is still possible in 2021, with a patched exe.
Pro Competing racers have personalities
Each driver has their own driving style and uses the same car each race. It creates storylines and allows noticing a player at a distance. This is especially useful in tournament races, since it's possible to get an overall better standing not just by driving better, but by eliminating the competition as well.
Cons
Con Online component has since been abandoned
As there's is practically no-one playing the game since it's release in 2006, the online counterpart of the game might as well be obsolete.
