Another amazing GTA game by Rockstar! San Andreas has lots of extra content and a massive area to free roam around. Missions are even better this time. There is also a new 2-player feature which is OK.
You can even do new stuff such as swim, buy clothes, work out, eat whatever, date girls, gamble and so on. The list is endless.
This is a crucial buy for gamers. You will NEVER get bored of GTA San Andreas!!!

Some missions are really realistic and this game is very good to play it is very simple but some missions are quite hard. At first when I played this game I was a skinny little man with no money then when I start playing I did missions for people, killed people, earnt lots of respect and money, got a girlfriend and that was when I felt like a real life gangster. Well recommend Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas. (read more)

I like the gangs and the way you can dress him up in whatever and the way you can get into car and drive them it is good.
I don't like the way there are no kids on it because that will be good cause example CJ could have a kid and he gets kidnapped that will be good.
I think you should give a bit more help on the missions like a bit more clues that will help and give us a better buy.

Written on: 04/05/2007 by Cognition (90 reviews written)
So, you think San Andreas is the best game ever made? Think again.
Yes, it is pretty great, but you can't overlook the obvious problems that this game has. For instance, when flying across the map at any speed, there is a major pop up issue. This is basically the fact that things don't appear early enough - trees can suddenly come at you, or even not appear at all - leaving you all blown up and having to load again once you plough nose first into something you can't see.
I also have a...

Written on: 10/04/2007 by dblock (25 reviews written)
Has there ever been a more complete game than Grand Theft Auto Sand Andreas? It is difficult for me to think of one such is the sheer brilliance, detail and enjoyment the game brings. GTA Vice City and the Liberty City each set a new standard in gameplay and control a user had over a virtual city. San Andreas surely pushed the boundaries further.
First thing you notice about the game is change in scenery and game approach. You start out as a returning gangster in a scene which resembles the...

When I thought Vice City & the GTA: Series couldn't get any better, all of a sudden it did. With new and exciting missions, vehicles new and old and the gameplay, this was the best of the bunch for me.

Gta San Andreas (18) is made by Rockstar Games. 1/2 players, analog and vibration compatible, 400kb min.
You play as Carl Johnson returning to the hood to find a lot of things have changed since you left. You must regain your respect and put your crew back on top. You do this by expanding your territory and taking out rival gangs. There are an array of weapons to assist you and once you have enough respect you can take a few of the lads with you. Don't forget to look after yourself or you...

Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas is the greatest game out for the PS2 in my opinion. There are so many cars, weapons, jobs to earn cash, missions, and much more. It's amazing how so much fits onto one CD. Before this game was released I wasn't expecting it to be as big as it actually is. This game has got me seriously addicted, because I keep wanting to complete it over and over again. I've done it about 5 times so far, and I still feel like I want to start over again. Another big thing is... (read more)

Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas has to be the gratest game ever for the Playstation 2 and might even be for the X box if Halo 2 didn't exist. The amount on cars on this game and weapons is incredible. There is a amazing amount of detail on everything and there is no limit to what you can do on. I love hijacking a plane, taking it up to the top of the sky and then parachuting down of Mount Chiliad. I also love using the hover craft to temporarily fly down large drops. (read more)

The Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas PS2 game certainly is a hit. A friend had purchased the game and suggested not to get it for the fact that it just got simply boring! I got it anyway and decided it topped the adventures of Veccetis Wayward Life. Two weeks on, and CJ's time in Grove Street just bored me!! I went back to it a month later and started to make more fun out of it with a few handy cheats. Since then I've recommended San Andreas to three other friends who also bought the game. (read more)

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The game for which your Playstation 2 gaming console was made for. Leave it to Rockstar to decide what we really want to be. The game was released back in 2004, but I still play it, and it is one of my favourite games. With the recent Hot Coffee Fiasco (I tried it. Wicked!!) and the change of the rating from M to AO (I am only 12 yrs old Shh!), San Andreas is one popular game.
So Grand Theft Auto, set in the early 90s, you play as CJ, a 20 something dude. ...

Three years after the fiasco with Tommy Vercetti in Vice City and GTA is back, with their new game, San Andreas. You play a character called Carl Johnson aka 'CJ'. After five years, he has just returned from Liberty City (the city used in GTA 3) back home to San Andreas. However his moms is dead, his little brother's dead and his gang (Grove Street) is on the...

Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas: Carl Johnson has just returned from Liberty City (aka GTA III) to find his momma has been killed and the grove street families are in ruins. he ain't happy and is seeking retribution.
You can explore Los Santos (Los Angeles) San Fierro (San Francisco) Las Venturas (Las Vegas yep you can gamble there) this is one of 2004's best games - a must buy.
There is a 2 player mode as well.

Written on: 06/05/2005 by myusername
Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas - Yes, San Andress is good, but it's lacking in something, something that made me love the 2 previous editions so much. It's not ripped off the great movies of the past and put them in the game while GTA3 had enough Godfather themes through it to make you feel as cool as Marlon Brando and Vice City had more than a pinch of Tony Montana, San Andreas is lacking in this and loses a little something. I also didn't particularly like Carl Johnson, I found him... (read more)

Written on: 27/04/2005 by DJ Big Boy (28 reviews written)
Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas is by far the best game in the GTA series plainly because its a new plot for the storyline and has been set in the 90's which you play a corrupt man called CJ (Carl Johnson). This game is massive and has been redesigned in the AI term in which you can recruit gang members and do drive-bys on local gangs. There is also a wide selection of stuff to do in the game like gambling on horses and then gamble in a casino! It also has new tracks on the radio such as Dr... (read more)

Ok, in Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas, like all other GTA's for the PS2, you can steal cars and run over people, and just have fun doing literally whatever you want. However, besides that, I don't understand what the big deal is with the GTA series. The morals in the game are just plain wrong! Picking up hookers, killing people just because some mafia boss asked you to, and stealing, and huge amounts of swearing...I don't see the point. Even if the game wasn't morally bad, I still wouldn't... (read more)

Absoulte tosh? I don't think the game was that bad but I do think that the game is getting extremely repetitive. I got board rather quick because of the missions just not being that much fun. I will say that Rockstar has finally made the missions with more varitey. But I still got bored and yes the graphics are terrible. But they are better than the last ones but it seemed like everytime I started going fast the game slowed way down and the road and all details disappeared and took a couple seconds to catch up. The game is better but still not good.

Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas is an excellent game probably the best ever. Good graphics, excellent story, good soundtrack (although not as good as GTA: VC). Not appropriate for those 15 and under as it may screw up their brain but excellent entertainment for older teens and adults who know the difference between fantasy and reality. (read more)

Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas is an excellent game. It had feauteres from Scotland & America, it was great. The missions were challenging and the last mission on the game I would say had a great ending. It had great types of vehicles & the planes were great.

Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas is the last one on the PS2 as Rockstar says the next one is going to be in PS3.
Anyways the gameplay is beautiful as you can ride a hydra and vortex which are both cool in their own ways and after you get bored and finish the game try cheats and that might make you like it a bit more, e.g. super punch which can kill people quickly. Cool.
Anyway if you are a GTA fan this is a must have I'll say it again a must have and for newcomers this might be your...

Get into the gangsta' feel with the Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas action/adventure. Live the life of crime as Carl 'CJ' Johnson. Help Grove Street become the 'number one' gang in Los Santos, until you find out the truth.
This game is just great. There really is no other word for it. Even if it does push the boundries to see what can and can't be allowed in a game. Beyond the excessive swearing and some smut, this game does have a gripping plot and addictive gameplay. Also, you are sure...

Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas is really a game that itself is in a world of it's own.
The game goes around a man that is being framed for murder one. (Like it matters because at the end of the game you realise that you killed over 1500+ people). When you finally get home you are a no-one, but though the game you climb up with a few bumps on the way to the top.
The vast amount of stuff to do in the game is so big that you have be a pretty good player to finish it all in under a month. But...

When I popped Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas in my PS2, and started playing it, I had realized again why I loved the GTA series again, only this GTA is one of the most innovative in the line of nex-gen GTA games. It expands the map to that of 3 times the size of Vice City's borders, and has many fun things to do inbetween, like betting on horse races or hustling money with playing pool. The story is remarkable, and the voice-overs are fantastic, it actually sounds like they put their heart... (read more)

Looking around the City is not as boring as the previous GTAs (even though they're still good!) and being able to customize your looks is a plus. You gotta earn respect too!

Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas is great, and it's very addicitve. the map is huge and there aren't even any loading times inbetween the cities like in the previous gta's.
The graphics are pretty much the same as Vice city, but they are still quite good.
There are so much new things to do, (e.g gang wars), it will take about a year to complete.
Go out and buy now!
