this game rocks, so many cool features plus paranormal stuff | | Nida from talladega, alabama says (11/Jan/2005): | this game rocks i love but i think rockstar put all these paranormal games just to creep us out i think some of its kinda stupid tho....except the ghost stuff rocks. this game is cool you can eat and get fat, and skinny if you dont eat....and yes i didnt believe all the rumors that were being posted on here like most people but something really creepy happend when i was playing sa last night, i was playing around riding a tractor around helena's farm in flint county and i could have sworn i saw a human figure running in the woods. i went to where i saw the thing and found nothing. I decided to do more of "The Truth"'s missions and got lost in back o beyond on the way to the farm, i found a car driving down a hill, i thought it was just a glitch, but when i went to the door there was nobody driving the car. It was cool cause i finally found that "ghost car" people have been talking about.
This is what I love about this game, it's Huge and there could be anything out there in the woods, the graphics have also been improved and the forests and fields look so real, i cant wait for gta4 coming out in '06 on PS3. this game has the best music in it too, and the missions and the storylines are better than vice city's and liberty city's. the missions are harder than the other gta games but funner and cooler. i love the ghetto missions the best. my fav character beside carl johnson is Ceaser, hes cool. i love riding on the quad bike in shady creeks, one of the things i like to do is explore the woods and the deserts. this game rocks, buy it now. its sweet.

| Great Game, but less than expected | | Richard from Bristol R.I. says (11/Jan/2005): | I really like the Grand Theft Auto series, but I feel this one slightly lacks the fortitude the other titles maintain. The use of color, the new setting, and complex nature will challenge even the best of gamers. The fun factor is high, but it can get frustrating when you have to find locations in a car, and pull a drive by. I am giving this title a nine out of ten because of the effort Rock Star games gave. Their work is indeed awesome! Titles like this will keep them going for many years to come. Great effort, I am already looking foreward to the next possible installment!
| gangsta | | Troy Troup Jr from Muir PA says (29/Jan/2005): | yea man this game is brunin the graphics and everything is like the best thing to ever come to the gaming systems i beat the game already and its really cool eventhough 2 of you homies turn on you (Ryder and Big Smoke) that stinks for me i think that this game is the best hot about you?????? I like the part where you get to sport out the cars to thats one of the best things that happined from gta 3 to gtasa and where you can take over the city ports that the ballers own!!!!!!!! this is the best game ever!!!!!!
thanks for reading my review...THANKS :)
| What do you want in a Game ?? | | OldGamer from The North, England says (4/Feb/2005): | I have read reviews that winge about the graphics, I've read reviews about the music being no good. Frame rate issues, missions to hard blah blah...........I've even seen some complaining about the fact you can play pool "Why play pool in a game, you need to go and play real pool etc" I guess some folk just can't be pleased. I've been playing games since the days of Commodore 16's and spectrums.
But every now and again you get a game that makes you stand back and applaud the creators, here's one of them : GTA San Andreas.
Those of you that complain about the graphics quality - Since when do good graphics make a game great ? Those of you that complain about sound - What other game gives you radio stations with hours of music ?
We play games to relax and get away from the sometimes crap reality, or we play games because they are fun and enjoyable, often addictive. I get home from work and watch the Simpsons because it makes me laugh. I play games because they are enjoyable like say watching a film.
The missions aren't too hard, they aren't too easy. They're enough to be a challenge. Rockstar dont have to make the missions so hard it takes an hour or two to complete just to increase the length of the game. Cos the games so frikkin huge it'll take you half a year to fully complete anyway. I've played 44 hours+ since I started playing back in October. an hour here and there. I have just completed all but a few odd missions. Now I have all the extras to do like photos and jumps.
Its Incredible as far as I am concerned.
Yeah Halo 2 is great. The graphics are great, etc etc. But then the creators have concentrated on graphics etc because the game engine is pretty linear. They don't have to pump attention into a landscape where anything goes, they dont have to generate random events like an aeroplane crashing in the street followed by ambulances and fire engines rushing to the scene.
Just enjoy the game where possibilities are verging on endless and stop crying about all the things that dont really matter.
I've seen plenty of games in my time with wonderful graphics, but half the time the game is either tiny or woeful.
Just ENJOY !! Its just Great Fun !! Thats all.
| This game was cool, it could have been better but it is A GTA game.. | | Joshua from Washington, USA says (10/Feb/2005): | Wow. This game rocks hard tasty abs washerboard style. When i tried to play GTA Vice City last night it was all blurry and the graphics sucked. This game is definetly better than the other 4 GTA games that we have been blessed with.I think this game should be a little less time-consuming, it takes for ever to through 2% of the game, if you're looking for a quick 'n' fun game, keep looking. Dont use any cheats or the game will slowly eat away at your stats(Muscle, sex appeal, weapon skill ect.).There is a dildo in the bathroom of the police station in Pershing Square, but dont pull out a gun while in the police station because you will get two stars in a police inhabited environment, so watch out.
| phenomenal game! | | robert hodgkins from manchester,UK says (13/Feb/2005): | The newly released game called Grand Theft Auto San Andreas came out in octover 2004 and is now known as the best game ever made by rockstar!
everything is exellent and the graphics were an especially good performance.the game is so realistic that it really looks like you are in it running about hi-jacking cars just for the sake of it. graphics:10 of 10
the sound is very realistic and the game has records from real northen america. sound:10 of 10
the pictures and sights of the game is a exact copy of the real thing itself. for instance, the golden gate bridge is san fransico is called the gant bridge in the game. the cities: los santos, san fiero and las venturas are really los angeleas,san francisco and las vegas! pictures:10 of 10.
in san fiero there is a performance garage called wheel arch angels adn it is the besst performance shop of san andreas. they have ultimate car body kits and there is only one of them in san andreas. of course there are other performance shops around but this one is the best. i just wish there were more paint job choices. There is a whole range of cars. there are two types of taxis- a taxi and a cabbi that can hold 4 passengers instead of 2. there is the super GT, the ZR-350, the elegy, the banshee(dodge viper), the bullet, the turismo(the best of them all) and the uranus are all the sporty type of cars and can all be tuned up at a perfomance shop. there is the very posh stretch limosine that can be found at nightime or dawn driving about. Cars:10 of 10
There are extra features to the game like there are cheats to be typed in if you could find any. One of the best features is a two player mode where you could act as another character and if you want to...kiss if you like. it is really fun as one person drives and another shoots with a whole range of guns. two people can then have a good time too! the cops have real life sayings for extra fun. you can change CJ's(carl johnson - you)clothes, eat and you can go in planes, boats, cars, and alot more!
definetly for the racing, action and adventure type of people and is certianly recomended to buy! it may cost all your allowence but it is worth every penny indeed! i say buy now. if you need any more info please contact me via e-mail. thanks alot for reading my review and i hope it was some help to you.
| Almost a reality? | | Allan from England says (2/May/2005): | first off, i'd like to congradulate Rockstar for producing such a fantastic game, what more could a gamer want? there's cars, girls, money, shops, motorways, bikes, freaky woods and fields with ghosts and stuff, 'heatwave' graphics, gangs, music, dancing, properties, weapons, missions, girlfriends, sex, huge map, police and a hell of alot more! But like every game, there's always something that lets it down...for example, when you kill someone, wouldn't their body stay there until disposal like reality? pedestrians should have cell phones so they can call police,fire brigade etc. instead of them just magically come along. you should be able to have more interaction options, like kiss people, invite them to your house, dance with them anywhere, get their number, have a detailed conversation...missons could be a little more varied, not just the same old CJ poppin a few ppl, like gatecrashing some party, or investigating the ghosts and stuff in the woods, they could make it really creepy and realistic...if you launch a rocket at a building it wouldn't just leave a black singe, right? you should be able to have jobs too when your not on the kill, like lifeguards, cooks, musicians, rappers, stuntman etc. and why do characters do that hand moving thing when they're talking, it doesn't fit...and sometimes their lips move before they even speak...just little things like this can have a big effect on a gamers opinion... but it's still one of the greatest, maybe they could add more islands; be allowed to enter EVERY building and not just the odd few; they should have other stats you can raise like dancing, rapping, sport skills like basketball etc. they could slow down the time a bit, maybe even stick in what day it is, you could have bills the more you buy, more shops like bakeries, pet-shops (a little rotweiler running along side CJ lol)fishing shops, better clothes shops etc. they should put in a fuel metre for vehicles so u can top them up at a garage if ur running low...and when you kill evry1 in the gym for a laugh, go out, then come back in, they magically reappear, fit as anything,is that realistic? maybe they could like put new people in or shut it down and reopen it somewhere else in town.
overall, the things i would like to see in GTA's next masterpiece:
.More detailed charachters (physically and personally)
.Calmer weather (storm one minute and red hot the next?)
.More music and less annoying presenters.
.Better buildings eg. bakeries, dance schools.
.More stat options eg. fishing, photogrpahy, basketball.
.Little pets for indoors and out.
.More detailed car modification.
.Less damn taxis!
.Slower time, maybe days added to the game.
.Creepier scenery in woods and places like that, with creepy plots and missions connected to them.
.People have cell-phones.
.More islands.

| The San Andreas Review | | Sergio from LA says (23/Mar/2006): | Even thought San Andreas came out more then one year ago it is still the most talked about game. All GTA's are good, but the tow that were really good are GTA3 and San Andreas. It is really awesome to do all that stuff. GTA 4 should just better but when will it come out? Things that could be improved are: Graphis, of course to make it more violentic u should be able to jack a commercial plane and crash it on to a building. There could also be other things such as the ability lo kidnapp people. But THERE SHOULD BE NO KIDS OR ANIMALS Involved maybe dogs but thats it. There is already birds but who cares. San Andreas is simply awesome specialy there the first version with the hot coffe. Please post the HOT COFFE CHEAT!!!!!!!!!
| THIS IS GONNA BE A GOOD GAME ALONG WITH DRIV3R | | F.G.(girl) from Great Britain says (16/May/2004): | i can`t wait 4 this game 2 come out,i seriously hope they`ve improved graphics,pedestrian inteligence(only a little,cos it qute funny),and vehicles.Rockstar hasn`t gave an article about this game all theyve gave us is the rel.date(oct./19/04)and the writing of the title style.this game will be on Playstation 2 (it might come out on Xbox,GameCube & P.C. sooner or later).my rating,10/10 is only a prediction so don`t think ive playedit.I also hope DRIV3R will be a great game,surely it will ive seen the Demo,ive seen previews it looks great!.So guys theres THREE great games coming,Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas(by Rockstar),Driv3r a.k.a Driver 3(by Atari & Reflections) and The Getaway 2(by Sony) cya lata suckerz.
| This game is awesome! | | Magister from ... says (14/Nov/2004): | This game is awesome. a lot of good missions, cars, planes, helicopters, boats, bikes, motorbikes, and Easter Eggs. I love the missions, especially the one were you have to save the drunken madd dogg from killing himself. Makes me laugh every time he dies. My god! I thought I knew a lot about this game, I only scratched the surface. I’m trying to find something bad about this game but I can’t find any thing. Now of course it's going to have its glitch moments but nothing is totally perfect. This really brings the realism of gang life to life. One huge state, three major cities...an almost unlimited amount of customization. This is a game that will go down in history for just about everything you can imagine. If you don’t like this game.... don’t play it! I’m not saying that if you don’t like this, you don’t like video games because if you didn’t like games you wouldn’t have played this in the first place. this is the most phenomenal game in the most phenomenal series by the most phenomenal developer ever! I don’t think rockstar will ever stop making great games.
Here are some cool rumors on this game
Bigfoot - I don’t know about this. The person who made up this rumor said he was just playing around...so...
Mystery phone booth - Confirmed, a phone booth In the desert will appear, when you pick up the phone nobody answers.
CJ moms ghost - FALSE! Her picture is in the Johnson home. That is all.
Ghost Cars - Exists. Go in Back o Beyond and go to where the two horseshoe looking things on the map, go on the left one to see a battered up glendale(car) drive down the hill.
Another, a ghost in a battered up Clover(car) or a Sadler(Truck) will follow you on the interstate right near back o beyond and pull over and get out and punch Carl a few times then drive off. (Only on Foggy nights)
UFO - Confirmed, Sometimes you can see UFOs in Area 51, 53 and 69.
Piggsy - Confirmed, Piggsy from Manhunt IS in the game. He is around Mt. Chiliad and uses a chainsaw and only comes around at night.
Falling Plane - TRUE (Small propeller planes crash around the desert at random.)
World War II Plane (Curtis P-40 Warhawk) - TRUE (Called The Rustler)
Alien Radio - Currently FALSE! (Only a ped will mention it)
Four-Armed Freak from Manhunt on Mt.Chiliad - Who the hell thought up this one??? False!
Blinking UFO in the Sky - FALSE! Currently proven not to be a UFO. It is, infact, a Jet.
Jaws - Confirmed, the famous shark "Jaws" is in the game and eats Carl when swimming
Loch Ness Monster - Currently just a rumor.
Desert Calvary Ghosts - Confirmed.

| Gta is good and all but Halo is gunna kill it!!!!!! | | Halo Kicks gta' ass! from warwick, ri, united states says (4/Nov/2004): | i bought the game the day it came out. at 12:01AM i was at EB games door steps. a lot of people were out there but i got there. i was the fith person in line. when the store opened they gave out hats, doo rags and t shirts. when i got the game i went home and put it in my PS2. I played it for a couple of hours, 12 to be exact and it was fun. but i am still going for Halo all the way. on this halo you can go online and compete against others around the world. all im saying is Halo is gunna Kick Gta san andreas's ASS!!!
| Pretty amazing but made on the wrong system | | Bill Gates from some where with a lot of money! says (2/Dec/2004): | This game is awsome, I love it, its not even close to halo 2 but its the game that ill play even though i have halo 2. but i do have a really big dissapoint ment.. think of how would GTA look like if it was originally made for the xbox! this game's graphics is BAD!! even that vice city looked 10 times better on the xbox, still it would of looked lot better if the programers was making it exclusivlely for the xbox. any way great game, worth buying, and worth the hype!
| GTA San Andreas One Of the best game I play But i have to complain | | Oscar Paz from Los Angeles Ca. says (20/Nov/2004): | This game is preaty cool but rockstar did not did the cd coverd
good. The third day i bought the game i was playing the game for
5 hours and the front of the cd was crack and then i played the game again and it was Scratch. I send it to be cleand and it stil didn't work because of the crack that it had in the front. They told me that 4 people complained about the same thing. So how the game makers are going to fix the problem.
| Oh Yeah This Some Crazy Holy Game | | Og Game Master from Nj says (1/Dec/2004): | this is the most impressive gave ever i mean the graphics and the gameplay makes gta vice city feel like a 5yr old well like "Duh" This Game Is Like "The Mother Of The Gta Formula".Spiderman 2,Jak 2,Roadkill,Etc.Guys Listen You Can, Make A Great Steal Car/Action Game. Rockstar Is The Master In Making It Dummies!.The Game Is Cool Because Hiring Gang Members To Do Your Bidding Is Maniacal,Burglary Mission's Are Awesome Te Fun Thing Depends On Your Imagination.San Andreas Will Be A Giant Leap On the Gaming Universe.
| OMG, This Game Is Soooooooooooooooooo Awsome!!!!!!!! | | Kevin from Detriot MI, USA says (28/Dec/2004): | Im with the kid from MI in the "D" ok the game is so cool the missions are so BAD ASS.
