- Great game
The game is very fun for mindless action, you stay committed to it and in turn you will have endless hours worth of fun you won't regret despite the the human pre-occuption with how long you live. obviously you play a man called CJ who's mother has been killed where you return to San Andreas to mourn and to rebuild a gang that has faded into memory, along the way encounter better machines, powerful allies and a bit of fun. i strongly suggest however that you keep the violence this game portrays in this game and not in real life.
however the only draw back is the few bugs you will run into wheather you like it or not!, one such example is flipping a vehicle over and after 3 seconds the car explodes for no apparent reason.

- ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER MADE
This is a must have game....!!!!
...definitely: one of the best videogames ever created...
Rating: - Probably The Best Game Ever Created
Lots of reviews before this and for the console versions too. However I think it fair to say that GTA: San Andreas is the best PC game I have ever played. Within the GTA series it is better than both Vice City (which now has a few issues running on modern hardware) and its console successor GTA4, which really had a hard act to follow.
The scale and scope of the game is immense, combining elements of FPS, RPG, driving, strategy, puzzle solving and a huge virtual sandbox to explore. It's also very much a rite de passage as you control the main character Carl "CJ" Johnson on a journey which starts with him left penniless after arriving in Los Santos to a triumphant denouement. This is not a game you will play through in a few evenings - in addition to something like 100 main story missions, there are numerous side tasks to attempt. Although these are optional, a fair number contribute towards the elusive 100% completion achievement, while others help in developing skills or utilities that come in handy later on. (Note, although I've played through SA three times now the best I've managed so far is around 88% completion). One slight niggle is that a few of these side games only become available quite late on, by which time you have been going solid for a couple of months and just want to see the end game. And like many other games that combine the campaign with free play once you reach the end, the desire to go back and finish up the odds and ends tends to diminish.
The difficulty level varies - there are a couple of missions where you can very nearly get stuck. Often it is just a case of taking a different approach or perhaps going into the side missions and levelling up a required skill (e.g. driving ability). The very first mission can catch you out if not prepared, whereas some missions later on are relative no brainers. Of course, once you've played a few times, read the FAQ's, studied the guide and maps things do get easier. The missions are quite linear and always play out the same way and there are no sidesteps or alternative paths to victory - you must pass all the main story missions to see the end game.
As stated in other reviews, the "gangsta", "rappa" culture can be a bit off-putting but once the game hooks you it falls into the context of the overall story. It's role play, after all. Parents be warned - even without the infamous "Hot Coffee" mod, the 18 rating on this title means what it says. The swearing, violence and adult references are relentless throughout the game. Even if you avoid un-necessary slaughter, just to finish the story you will have killed several hundred people including police/FBI officers, soldiers and ordinary citizens in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Although SA struggled a bit on lower end PC's when first released, three years on the average PC eats it for breakfast. The beauty and depth of the game can really be appreciated on a machine with Dual Core CPU and 8800GT graphics card. There are a few little glitches - when it rains all other sounds are masked - but I have never encountered any serious crashes or issues with the titles.
In crafting GTA: San Andreas, developers Rockstar created something close to a work of genius for the gaming hobby. Even their own studio couldn't better it with the next instalment in the series, the rather mundane GTA4 It has a few issues, has courted considerable controversy but it's not so much a game as an immersive experience.
Buy it, play it and love it!
Rating: - Great.... but
I had this when it came out for PC.
First of all. If you like GTA games, this one is sooooo so so so much fun to play. The sheer scale of the map will keep you occupied for a long time and the variety of environments, people and style will keep the whole thing interesting.
The missions are okay. I found some of them very tedious, but never the less got through them.
There is a but however and its a very big but. The black gangster culture is way too overpowering throughout. If your into that sort of thing its fine, but if not it does get extremely annoying!
Rating: - PS2 OR PC
So from what I see people like this p.c version of G.T.A sa
But I thought people might want know that the p.c version is so much better than the ps2 one. One thing I like is the mods you can download my favourite being the cars! Another thing is it's so easy to aim with the mouse which makes it better but I do sometimes struggle driving so I have just bought a ps2 controller link thing which makes it easier to drive.
Overall a brill game I'd say BUY IT NOW!
