IGN gave this game a 9.9. I believe that's the highest score they've given a game in a half a decade. Game of the year? Halo 2, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Half Life 2 have their work cut out for them (Ninja Gaiden is MY game of the year so far). To be fair, Gamespot only gave it a 9.6. WEAK. But the only game that scored higher than it in the last two years was Metroid Prime. Considering what's on the horizon and what's already passed, this is surely the best year in video game history. So who has San Andreas and what do you think of it so far? I won't have it for a couple of days yet, I always have to wait for it to ship to my weird island, in the middle of the Atlantic.I'm jealous of anyone who's dug into it already. I hear it's mind bogglingly massive, and I haven't seen ANYONE disapointed by it yet. |

well to be honest i remember GTA 1 , and i know it wad addictable as hell, then version 2 came out as a shit, and 3 - but only for those with speed machines. in fact, i can say that part 3 is shit too, too much effects instead of logic and thinking. im sorry, but nowadays ppl want games to look good and thats all, where are the times of settlers 1 ? eh.. to prove the fact i just pointed, i say - check all games list from past 3 years - check what games are most highly rated - FTP's, FPP's.. shit. |

Someone I know was dissapointed with it, granted, his argument was 'its just vice city in a new setting and some new stuff'. What did he think it was going to be? Regardless I was thinking of buying a PS2 just for this game, but thought, nah, I'm gonna wait for the PC version considering Half-Life 2 and Vampire: Bloodlines will be out soon for me to play. |

Blockhead McGee! GTA San Andreas, out of all the upcoming/current blockbusters, is the one MOST bent towards gameplay and depth, not flash and technology. This game does not look great, merely good. But it will supply 100-150 hours of nonstop sharp gameplay. Yes. Take your sneers and jeers elsewhere, bub. THIS is gaming at its purest. I rented it from Blockbuster a couple of hours ago, and I am not disapointed. Oh fuck no. Oh fuck whee. I can already see that the possibilities are ENDLESS. And not in that boring MMORPG way, either. What a fucking game. The soundtrack is just cathartic. |

Yes. Everything I wanted to do in Vice City, I can now do. IE, swing the camera around manually, have a dependable targeting system, ride a fucking pedal bike (that first ''mission'' is so sweet), climb over fences and ledges, climb walls and pull myself up, sneak up on and sneak BY people (L3 is a stealth mode), swim (haven't done it yet), go to the barber and get an afro and handlebar mustache (I couldn't pass it up), block punches, change your entire wardrobe at home base... little things that go a long way when you're actually DOING them all. The ''level gaining'' is also a masterstroke. I'm going to make ''sex appeal'' my main focus. Right now the ladies are making disparaging comments, but later on, they'll want me. No... they'll NEED me. The environment and atmosphere is also really convincing. I wasn't sure about the gangsta theme but now now I'm a believer. Aesthetically, the interiors of the buildings are much more detailed. The pizza place looks great, shiny floors, bustling with people, not like the blocky, low-res stuff in Vice. How they fit this all onto one disc, I don't know. I'm like 0.0001% through the game, and GTA games only get 10 times better. Probably even moreso now that I have so much control over everything. And you haven't really lived until you've torn through a Ghetto guns blazin' in a Ferrari to Soundgarden's Rusty Cage. The only thing missing is a Rape Button. |

This game is great.. very addicting, much much more in depth than any of its predecessor's.. I have a girlfriend and own a whole bunch of gang territory now. Voice acting is much better also. Get this game! |

Maybe the game of the generation so far. Certainly has more ''game'' than any other game. IGN was right... what the fuck CAN'T you do? Just as an anecdote to demonstate why it's SO fun and rewarding and deep- I couldn't beat that mission where you have to chase Freddie on the bike! I kept hitting shit and falling off, and I couldn't keep up with him long enough to kill him. So what I did was... prepare. I stole a motorbike from some kid and drove around Los Santos, making jumps, going as fast as possible, doing tricks, etc. Why? Because it builds up your bike talents, which lets you withstand more violent crashes without falling off, and increases your handling ability and speed. The more you drive and do, the better CJ gets with a particular vehicle. Brilliant. Not only did that hour I spend driving around town yield some great results (all those tricks, finding some secrets and some new places to go, seeing the GIGANTIC first city), but it also gives a real sense of accomplishment and advancement. It's just like real life... you drive around on a bike long enough, and you're going to get better. My character got a lot better, and I whopped that mission's ass. The great thing is, while you're gaining these abilities and working up your stats, you're accomplishing and finding so much other shit, so it's never monotonous or boring. It's not like an RPG where you just kill kill kill to gain levels and see nothing new until you decide to STOP gaining levels and advance. |

Another important point (for me, since I'm pretty poor at this game)... swimming. Instead of instant death when you accidentally careen into a lake in the middle of an intense chase, you stay alive now. And that's so fucking useful. I died way too often at the worst possible times in Vice City because Tommy was made of lead. |

I love the tie in's. I wont post spoilers for ophie but keep an eye open in catalina's missions! You can pimp hoes in this game!!! Incite gang wars to battle over turf. The missions are difficult and varied. I actually think the graphics have improved. Steal a banshee and tell me they didnt! The ability to customize cars. Fantastic! I give this a 10/10 pandas. Now obviously i am a fan of the series but let me state, after following the development of this game i am aware of things they left out or didnt include. I am aware of shortcomings in this game and things that could be better. That said, this game still exceeded my expectations and truly represented the era it takes place in, interlaced with Rockstar's special sarcastic humor! Lovely! |

Yeah, the graphics are definitely improved, though it's subtle. The cars have more polygons, the textures on people's clothes are better, etc. Too bad there's no progressive scan, though. It's a good looking game, but I can't say the graphics are all that impressive, heh. Everything else is out of control, though. One of the coolest things about the game are the drives between cities, the ''countryside'' is pretty neat. Wooded backroads, campsites, cabins, the huge freeway with all those complex ramps, looking back at the city as you zoom out... it was there that the scope of the game hit me. And I haven't even made it to the second city, yet! The fact that there's three of them is pretty exciting. And I pulled off the fucking craziest jump ever off of one of those hiking trail hills out in the country. I hit a dirt mound, flew about 400 feet, landed on the top of a huge truck, ricochetted off it, and landed near the beach. |

As someone who has been a fan of the series (on PC) since day one and loved GTA in 1600*1200 with superb graphics, do you think I should buy a PS2 in order to play it now/ will I be able to tolerate the mediocre graphics? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I do. I think that the experience provided by this game is worth it alone. It creates a realistic believable enviroment for you. Plus you will have to wait for PS3 for the next installment. :) Ophie, how far are you? The last mission i completed was where you meet and race with Wu Zi Mu. The race following that is tougher than anything. I had to quit playing last night because of the difficulty of that race. |

Well I would say resolution isn't worth waiting all that time for, it's still the same blocky characters and simple architecture. I'd say play it now while it's still shit hot! It's not a bad looking game by any means, just not breathtaking. Overall, this game easily kills Vice City in every concievable way. Undoubtedly the best GTA ever. Virgil- I'm not very far into it, I've been moving forward verrrrry deliberately, kinda of padding my stats and seeing the town. Going to the gym a lot, and I've just spent HOURS building up my bike stats to the max. I'm still in the Smoke/Ryder missions, heh... so I'm pretty early into. Having too much fun to move the story forward too much right now, but I'm looking forward to getting the story rollin'. I'm one tough motherfucker. Maximum muscle and stamina stats and all that, a cowboy hat and cowboy boots, an eye patch, expensive gold watch and necklace, etc. Nobody fucks with me. |

it arrived today!! :D and they even send me GTA 1 (ps1) along with it, as a suprise!! first impressions: it is way better than I could dream.... and now back to San Andreas |

oh man, i'm still waiting for my copy to arrive. :o |

I got my copy today, chilled for 3 hours in San Andreas, and i have to say that the bmx is so cool. I played some basketball and did a few drive-by's. The way life should be. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've been playing at my friend's house. i really like the drive-by aspect. i'm not as excited about the home invasion stuff as i thought i would be. but i think it's because i have to get used to the controls again! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

i am definitive going to buy it but i am going to wait until the price drops to the half.seems like its very good music in the game,lee perry and stuff. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
this is the first time I play a game on the PS2 I now can say that playing a game on the pc is much more comfertable imo, not only because there are more buttons available, but also because the mouse is much better controlable than that little joystick on the PS2 and besides that..the quality of the graphics is much higher, sometimes it happen that a building still has to be finished while your standing in front of it... can´t wait untill the pc version leaks still very addictive tho ;) |
