- Amazing!!
Here we are yet again. Another year, another release of the epic episode of Grand Theft Auto. GTA: San Andreas. This game needs no introduction for all ps2 and game lovers. We all thought that nothing could be improved from the much loved Vice City. How wrong we were.
Grand Theft Auto:SA is simply a masterpiece. The finest example of its genre easily.
Anyway. enough praise.. for now. The story starts off on a grim note, with the main character (CJ), returning home to bury his mother, a victim of a drive-by shooting, but soon after that, the depressing note is ended due to a frantic bike chase away from a rival gang, introducing the welcomed bicycle as a new addition to the vast amounts of vehicles in the GTA game, which also include quad bikes, tractors, monster trucks and even combine harvesters.
Drive, eat, shoot, recruit are some of the things you can do, and will have to do, in the world of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. New features that are included in this game, which make it compete with the most popular of RPG games, are things such as the ability to get tattoos, get fat with the amount of food you eat, as well as slimming with the exercise in the local gym. There are also a variety of haircuts available to you. The general opinion though of the best added feature must be Carl's ability to swim in the sea. We've all had time when we were just cruisin' down in a car and careered off into the sea forcing us to explode in the previous GTA's. This problem is no more. If you crash now, simply slide out of the window and swim to shore.
A fun extra is being able to modify vehicles, unfortunately these are unable to be brought back to shore, should you decide to test the cars "amphibious abilities."
The length of the missions in this game have been vastly improved, with an average mission consisting of one or two parts. The missions basic outline are the same, but its the way that rockstar have built on this and made the gamplay a whole lot more realistic that is phenomenal. The average game lastability for the average player would definetely be in the region of one month, making the game alot longer than its predecessors. Aside from the main storyline are side quests, games and, of course, brawls in the street. Along with many unlockable vehicles, features and a whole other wide variety of goods scattered across the state of San Andreas.
San Andreas state consists of three counties: Los Santos, Las Venturas and San Fierro. All which are of about the same size as Liberty City from GTA:III and are fully explorable by any means that you so wish, and there are many.
Once you pass your flying lessons, then feel free to pick yourself a private jet up from the airport and take a flight to any spot on the map.
The music in GTA: SA is brilliant. Critics said before its release thought that all the music in the game would be rap to suit the games ‘ghetto’ mood. This isn't the case. There are quite a few other radio stations ranging from country music to rock, and there are also some very interesting chat conversations and radio phone-ins that you can hear as you are driving. All in all, GTA: SA has a rather good soundtrack, but I think its fair to say that Vice City's was superior.
Graphically, there is not much improvement from Vice City, but with all the other features, how can we complain? What the game lacks in graphics, it more than definetely makes up for in gameplay and lastability, in what probably will be the longest game you will ever play for a while. The graphics department for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas gets a 9/10 from me due to a few minor but still noticeable flaws.
In Conclusion, calling GTA: SA and excellent is an understatement. If you are a fan of the GTA series, even if you have never played before, go out and buy this game…it will be the best gaming purchase you have ever made! GTA is easily one of the best games in recent years and easily compares to the xbox hit of Halo2. San Andreas offers the most complete gaming package ever made on consoles in the present day and age and to not buy this game would be a crime. Surely...?
Graphics: 9/10
Storyline: 10/10
Music: 10/10
Lastability: 10/10
Overall : 10/10!

- Is This The Future?
My rating above is on the game alone. The four stars is my judgement on the content, not the ethical qualities of the game. The game boasts large maps, various forms of transportation, and long storyline, many sub-missions, and loads of goodies to keep you occupied along the way. I do have a slight problem with the lack of realism, especially with the driving. The game has spanned and webbed into so many areas of entertainment that it doesn't really do any of them anymore. They have no even uncluded a form of Dance Dance revolution into the game.
But should this game be entertaining? We are shooting innocent people, blowing up cars, and shooting police men. We shoot paramedics, and steal fire trucks. Cause havocs with tanks. You can pick up prostitutes, and now even actually have sex. Vibrators are even dotted through the map. Does this entertain you? At first, it entertained me. I think Rockstar has stopped the game from being too realistic because it would be less fun. People enjoy this sort of violence. The internet is full of violent videos with people lining up to watch them. So I believe this game is part of a violent revolution. People find entertainment, power and sometimes even refuge in pain. And this is the main media. Most kids find it most stress relieving to blow some people to pieces and Rockstar delivers. Well done guys.
Rating: - the best
When i first heard about gta san andreas coming out i was really excited.Like any normal teenager i was buying magazines that had pictures about gta.Gta is one of the best games that i have got and it certainly won't be the last i hope. Anyone that hasn't got this game and is thinking of buying it then i suggest you buy it straight away as it is one of the best games of the year.The only thing that is bothering me is that how will the next gta be any better.
Rating: - BRILLIANT GAME!!
I am a gta fan and out of all the gta games this has got to be the best one so far! The massive map to explore in, it all starts in the Ghetto and goes up to mansions fast cars, working for and betraying the Mafia ect. But the best thing about this game is that you can do almost anything you want, such as:
doing missions e.g. gang wars, stealing cars and modifying them, buying clothes, eating food, dating women, getting tatoos, gambaling, flying planes and parashooting out, you can swim unlike on all the other gta games, rob people's houses, going to the gym and working out to build yourself up, learn boxing, kickboxing and kararti, tacking over gang terretorys and many more things you can do on Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. it is a game worth getting.
Rating: - Absolutely Fantastic
San Andreas is quite simply the best game on the PS2 and personally i think it is the most fun you can have (on your own) on any console.
I could spend ages listing all the amazing things you can do with this game, but one of the joys for me was finding stuff out on your own. Like once, after a daring escape from a jet fighter, i landed in the middle of the countryside. After walking through the trees, i found a quad bike for the first time and spent the next half hour ascending a mountainn with a swat team not far behind. Tremendous fun.
Problems? With such a massive game you're always going to have trouble with draw distances, but this only an issue really when you're in the air, and even then i didn't have a problem with it. The targeting system is a bit temporamental at times and has a tendancy to point at far off pedestrians instead of the cop who's hitting you in the face.
Las Venturas (Vegas, basically) is a wee bit dissapointing and personally should have been way more in your face and loud.
Some minigames work, others don't. Things like pool, lowriding and the triathlon are superb, wheras basketball should have been SO much more.
These problems though are minor annoyances and when you think what the game has to offer they disappear. San Andreas is embarrisingly better than it's rivals and is vast, with fantastic missions, storyline and characters. Please don't be put off by the 'gangsta rap' culture because there's something for everyone in this game. An absolute classic and an essential purchase to anyone with a PS2.
