“Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas is really a game that...”

★★★★★

written by hippykiller on 18/01/2005

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 in this game the designers have really listened to the people and done the thing they wanted. Such as:
The ability to grow fat and work out in the gym to burn it all off. The nice features like to have girlfriends, the new clothes combination are unlimited,to go and get a haircut, to get yourself a tattoo of the grove street logo, the ability to have a gang of your fellow homies to use as bodyguards is also a nice touch. And the abilty to take the rest of the other gangs territories in the nice added gang wars mini game. The new and improved secret items included in the first city is 100 gang tags to spray all around the city
The second city has the photo operations objectives where you take phots of certain parts of that city,
And the last city has horse-shoe items which also give you the abilty of more luck when you pick them up.
All the items when fully collected give you more weapons in your base of operations that spawn in that city.
The new vehicles and the abilty to change nearly everything you dislike about the car and adding a few nitros as you are waiting.
The sub missions like the cops misson and the ambulance misson are now improved to give you better things like when you do 50 fares on the taxi/cabbie missons you get free nitros when ever you steal one of these, The new asset missions, there's so much to do it takes forever to say it all. The only bad thing I can find is the combat system is the same as before.
And even when you think you unlocked it all you get hit in the face by the ability to get yourself a jetpack! With all these options you will always have a hole in your pocket.
It's the one game that will have you hooked for weeks and possibly months.
Now available in all local games shops and you must be over 18 to buy this game.
But truly a great game.

“Now i CAN talk about all the amazing things you can do...”

★★★★★

written by dhanushka on 07/01/2005

Now i CAN talk about all the amazing things you can do on Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas!!! Firstly, I have to say it is so worth it doing vigilante missions in a hunter, especially in the desert or countryside with no skyscrapers to torment you. And you can bypass level 12 this time!! And carry on going for god knows how long! I got to level 18 before I moved on! The fact that you can constantly change CJ's appearance is an awesome new venture by Rockstar, because it gives you a REASON to get money, just so you can shop in Didier Sachs!!! But the most sophisticated new gameplay element that Rockstar have added to the GTA series is the basis that you have to build up your skills to progress successfully in the game. Eating food, working out, gaining territories and respect from your hood, buying the right clothes, the correct tattoos, the right haircuts etc etc. Also, the fact the the game is COMPLETEABLE, even for the worst ever PS2 gamer! Because Rockstar have introduced a new capability, such that the difficulty of the gameplay and the AI of the enemies are altered in relation to the gamer's prowess in the game.

This game is an absolute must-buy, and if you refuse to play you deserve to be shot; as do all those people who say it's sad to play on San Andreas!!! If anybody has any queries about how to complete any part of the 100% required objectives, just write a post in the computer games forum and I will post a tip in relation to your query.

“When I popped Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas in my...”

★★★★★

written by cjlethal777 on 07/01/2005

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 in their character's voices. But there is always a darkside to a great game, and unfortunately, there are some to this one as well, but hey, there are only some. The horrendous player models with the annoying blocky hands and how they move those hands while they are talking is mind straining. As much as I hate to admit it, there is A LOT to do in San Andreas, but, after a while, this stuff may get a little too repetitive, and you will see it after popping it in your PS2 for the 50th time (believe me, your gonna be playing this game a lot and often). But all the good stuff put in the game is more than enough to make up for the bad points. In the end, I would give GTA : San Andreas a 9 / 10.

“Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas is a masterpiece....”

★★★★★

written by doctordro on 31/12/2004

Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas is a masterpiece. Rockstar has done it again, only better. Being able to move around in a living, breathing world is so darn amazing! The possibilities are endless. 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! This game opened my eyes to a real gangsta world. I'll vote this one for game of the year! I was supposed to choose Need For Speed Underground 2, but nevermind! Is there anything in the world Rockstar cannot do? Hope you homies come up with something as good as this again. For sure, right?

★★★★★

written by enjoi1414 on 21/12/2004

Lets see, on Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas you can finally swim and customize cars and rob houses, do drugs I mean you can do anything. this is truly the best game out there and rockstar should be proud of themselves because they are on the top of the mountain right now and no other game or company will never be able to change that because they will just make another GTA game. I think they should remake GTA London 1969 that would be incredible.

“Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas is great, and it's...”

★★★★★

written by fatboyjr04 on 07/12/2004

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!
if you have it, buy it again.

★★★★★

written by ben6661 on 23/11/2004

Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas is the best game out at the moment even the strategy guide is at the top of the charts as soon as I got it, I could not stop playing it (just Buy it!!!) you can finally swim and improve your skills, the way they stop you going onto the next island is to give you four stars (die instantly).

Written on: 08/12/2004

What are you talking about?? there are tons of new stuff to do! (e.g. fly jets, fight gang wars with a gang, 2 player mode, drive a tractor, character customisation and many many more!!!)
<br>
<br>And the mini games aren't that bad. They are only a small part of the game.

★★★★★

written by NELL1E on 10/11/2004

This game is the best on the market. The game play is second to non. If you wanna find loads of weapons, make sure you have at least one FULLY loaded weapon then go into the police station. Get you gun out once you've got past the counter. Have a look round and you'll find loads. Then the game really starts to take off. If your still thinking about buying it, what you waiting for. Just get it bought!!!!!!

“The wild assortment of things to do in the PS2 Game...”

★★★★★

written by Kamakanzi on 08/11/2004

The wild assortment of things to do in the PS2 Game GTA : San Andreas is really amazing, whether on or off a mission, there are plenty of activities to keep you entertained. Rockstar did an amazing job with the graphical details, especially with the characters and vehicles. So far I've played it for over 7 hrs, and I haven't passed 10 percent of the game.
So far the only con is the loading times before certain missions(up to 13 secs) - This however, does not disrupt the flow of the game in any way.

★★★★★

written by themack66 on 04/11/2004

I have read a lot of reviews saying that while Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is a great game, it has some problems, it isn't as good as Vice City. NOT TRUE. This game is incredible, one of the best. I have never before seen a game with this much stuff in it. Rockstar hit the nail on the head with this game. The map is the size of six Vice City's, all new weapons and equipment including flowers (for girlfriends, another cool aspect) and a parchute for skydiving and bailing out of a plane. While this game doesnt feature online play, who cares? This game is like every single game genre rolled into one. Its and RPG, a third and first person shooter, a non-linear adventure title, and of course, the drive up to hookers, do the business, then run them over to take your money back game. The game makes the player ask not, "what can I do?" but instead begs the question, "what can't I do?" If there will be only one game that you purchase this year, it will have to be GTASA. I honestly don't believe that Halo 2, which is sure to be a great game as well, can even match this.

★★★★★

written by reviewer54321 on 28/10/2004

The graphics in Grand Theft Auto GTA San Andreas are definalty much better than any of the other GTAs. The objects are much more round and there are alot more places to go into and spend your money on. You can add installments to your car (such as body kits). You can get fat in this one and also lose that fat by goinng to the gym and working out. You gain respect and/or money for doing a mission. You can ride bicycles, motorcycles, and many cars that may remind you of some models known in the early 1990's. Stop reading this review and just go get it!!!

★★★★☆

written by spazman on 26/10/2004

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - I think that now you can change the actual appearance of yourself and the car it will be brilliant. The rims and spoilers are a good touch. The gyms and swimming are cool, the push bikes seem good. Making your own gang seems so clever. How hard will it be to keep him in shape?

“Right, San Andreas, I for one sure can't wait for this...”

★★★★★

written by pigeon04 on 13/10/2004

Right, San Andreas, I for one sure can't wait for this title to hit the stores and I'm sure your just as giddy as all of us here. This game brings so much to the table, I mean who else has ever achieved such a thing as rock star has with GTA 3, then it goes and betters its self with Vice City? Is San Andreas going to be the perfect game? And if so can rock star do it again and amaze us with another chart topping title?? Who knows, I sure don't !
All I know is that they have blown away any competition (to be honest driver 3 doesn't even come close) and they are heading for another blast at the top. I just wish time would go a bit faster to october 29 ! Come on!
