“Thanks Rockstar Games......!!!!”

★★★★☆

written by Alex_Haley on 11/06/2013

This is one of my favorite games of all time but it is only appropriate for 14 year old and up. I like the character of CJ. Graphics are awesome. The locations, the characters, the variety, all makes this game so entertaining.Thanks Rockstar Games.....!!!!

written by The Tattonator on 12/11/2009

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!!!

★★★★★

written by on 19/09/2008

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.

Loved the game 100%. This game it probably the best grand theft auto game yet. The only GTA that allows you to fly planes AND helicopter for an unlimited time,it lets you do more then any of the other GTA games.

written by xxleesaxx on 21/02/2008

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.

“So, you think San Andreas is the best game ever made?...”

★★★★☆

written by Cognition on 04/05/2007

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 problem with the graphics. When San Andreas was released, the first thing I noticed is that the game has been given a major graphical overhaul - textures have been all compressed and cars have been made reflective (the latter being more of a good thing). However, having done this, Rockstar have made San Andreas feel very different from the other games in the GTA series.

Although the introduction of Carl, the new lead character, is appropriate to the time and place when and where San Andreas is set, I feel that he lacks something that the other GTA characters had, although I'm not quite sure what this is.

Now I'd like to say some more positive things about this game.

First and best of all, there have been tonnes of new and previously unseen features thrown at this game. Perhaps the best of these are :

- Breaking into houses and stealing things - this is useful for those times when you need some extra money. These R3 missions can only be done between 8pm and 6am (or something like that) and the van to do them can be found parked outside some flats just north of CJ's house in Los Santos.

- Mod your cars - you can now modify almost any vehicle in the game, although you can't tamper with motorbikes, airplanes or helicopters as far as I know. This is good for customising your cars to suit your character, and there are also different kinds of garages to be found around San Andreas including special low-rider and street racing ones.

- Fully customise your outfit - now you can go one stage further than you could in Vice City and completely customise what CJ wears. Throughout the game, you may find that you'll need to change your clothes to do certain missions and tasks, or to get certain girlfriends.

- Change your body index - go to the gym for a work out or eat all the pies; you can now gain or lose weight. CJ can build muscle, get fat, and even increase his stamina and ability to hold breath. All this together with your choice of clothes will also affect your sex appeal.

There are also some features that arn't so good. Some of these are :

- Having to eat - it can get annoying when you're in the middle of a mission and CJ get's hungry. Not eating for too long will eventually decrease muscle and eventually health.

- Motorways - look, it's clear to see that the AI just isn't up to the job. The cars can't handle themselves and every time you take a drive on one of these new freeways, it's almost certain that you'll end up smashed senseless. This can get especially annoying when you're in a car that you don't want damaged, or when you have to get somewhere in a hurry (the irony!)

So it would seem that Rockstar have put a lot of time into adding new features to San Andreas. I hear you asking "what's the problem in this?" Well, let me explain.

Basically, throwing everything at a game will not make it any better. It may make it bigger, but not better - and this is where San Andreas is let down slightly. I feel that too much time has been spent trying to build on to what was a good game, making it bigger than ever before, but actually missing some of the more simple things.

for example, instead of working on all of the interiors throughout the map that you'll never use, why didn't Rockstar fix the pop up issue that I explained at the beginning of the review?

So to conclude - San Andreas is a pretty great game but is one that could potentially have been better if it weren't for the few major problems.

I would recommend this game but you'll probably already have it. But if you don't, then you should. This is a game for every collection!

“Has there ever been a more complete game than Grand...”

★★★★★

written by dblock on 11/04/2007

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 suburbs of Los Angles. The size of the game is enormous in comparison to the previous versions. Indeed it is 3 times the size of Vice City. Also you get to visit almost every conceivable landscape a country could possess.

The missions build upon the previous game, some are similar others completely new and innovative. You must complete missions in three different states in total to complete the game. The game is designed so that it will take you weeks and months to complete rather than over a weekend. There are many new features, such as car modding, owning different types of property and extended food, clothing and fitness outlets. You must feed your character appropriately so they he is in optimum condition, too much fat and his life is in danger and he becomes sluggish.

Overall this is a superb game which everyone should have in their collection.

“Welcome to 1992, you play Carl "CJ" Johnson returning...”

★★★★★

written by GL3N on 18/01/2007

Welcome to 1992, you play Carl "CJ" Johnson returning back to the 'hood' where he grew up. Although much has changed, and you need to sort it all out, before its too late...

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.

Good Points + ;

The gameplay has been redesigned slightly with the introduction of the new analogue control. As soon as the game starts you enter into "CJ"s world, learning about his family and why he's back. Straight away busted by the cops and your out on your own again.

The main points I really like is the new Size of the map, with new areas and cities to explore, with there own distinct feel. You have Los Santos with the low-wealth hood feel, San Fierro, with the big city feel, jobs and opportunities and even Las Venturas with the High-Rolling gambling.

With the introduction of new 'Street Families' it makes it more exciting and new 'Drive By Shooting' and 'Gang Wars' makes it really realistic.

Bad Points - ;

As to mentions the plusses (+) out-weigh out the minuses (-) by a long shot. Although I'm disappointed with the weapon selection and low detail interactivity, much like many in the series. Once again with hardly no A.I. interaction it is still to be expected, run up to someone and punch / shoot them and they fight back, that's as far as it goes. Once again like many game, [Vice City, GTA: III] the graphics are not brilliant or breathtaking, although the gameplay controls the game, which is what I seem to prefer.

Overall ;

Overall I feel this game is the best in the series, which is something considering that Vice City was highly rated. Although it has bad points, the main thing is that the good ones out-weigh these. Addictiveness is a plus in this game. Be Warned.

“Gta San Andreas (18) is made by Rockstar Games. 1/2...”

★★★★★

written by bigmikem on 12/12/2006

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 will die of starvation. You can also meet a few ladies in this game and once you have them hooked you will get some rewards.
There is loads of stuff to do in this game so expect a few sleepless nights.

Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas was well done. Could have had better graphics though. The graphics may get choppy sometimes and there are a few glitches (car getting stuck under road)
