Grand theft auto emerged out of the blue as one of gamings greatest series with gta 3.] gta 3 unlike the first two 2 bit era top down low gameplay outings was a massive 3d colusus of a game with more gameplay than you can shake a stick at. fully 3d graphics and immersive story elements. vice city expanded the formula with better graphics storyline scenarios and a wider assortment of things to do plus a hero or antihero that actaully talked. it was thought that vice citys huge vareity and adventurte couldnt be toped. but after playing san andreas i know it was. this latest incarnation is quite simply zelda with guns. theres so much to do in this game that i could never finish telling you everything. the missions range from racing fast cars to engaging in sword battles to very memorable and intense shootouts. troughout the game you will make all the decisions that you would expect from an rpg. youll gain several diffrent abilities that you can enhance and this will be very helpful to your progress in the game. you can workout to stay in shape or you can just eat fast food and not do excercise which will you know the choice is there. you can also buy clothes and customize your characther cj to your liking. the police ai is great troughout the game just like in vice city but now you have more weapons to start trouble with. san ndreas features over 30 weapons ludicrusly powerful guns like the smg. ak 47. shotgun. assault rifle. pistol. sniper rifle. and an awesome rocketlauncher. plus some great mellee weapons like the katana sword police batons and standard baseball bats. the missions are incredibly exciting involving casino heists. house robberies. memorable shootouts and some truly outstanding stealth missions. the missions are so varied youll never become bored unlike in some cases where you just repeat the same motion over and over again. the game is also huge cotaining 3 cities and a contry side overall the game world is adleast triple or so the size of vice city and then some. the graphics still arent that great but youll certainly be impressed by little details such as the spur of heat on a sunny dayor the way the buildings light up with neon colors during the night. the voice acting is exceptionial making the game even more worth playing. youll immediatly be sucked into the role of cj and all the other characthers are so cool youll immediatly fall in love with them. this latest installment of gta impressed me. the endless exciting missions. great characthers, satisfying weapons and complelling story all add up to ps2s finest game yet. if you dont already have a ps2 its worth buying one just to play this game. and if you do have already have a ps2 then youd be a fool to not play san andreas.

It's Only Been A Few Days But.....WHOA!!!!!!

first of all, i've heard millions of compliments about this game, but the one con i've picked up so far is that the graphics are scaled down in this version as opposed to the others. to compensate for the hugeness of the game and all. bullcrap. the graphics are fine! on par with all the other games from rockstar so those people need to get a life.

for the moral version of the whole grand theft auto series, check out my reviews of the liberty city/vice city twinpack. for this game, keep reading...

it's like boyz in the hood circa 1992. literally, in the beginning. CJ has come home to bury his murdered mother, having left the hood five years ago to keep from having to deal with the ugliness of it all and make a better life for himself. he actually lives in liberty city now and i heard that we will even have to go to liberty city during this game! i will keep u posted on that.

he spends most of his time getting "refriended" with his old homies from back in the day. soon he finds himself back in the gang and having to constantly fight it out with rival criminal groups. then come the missions, which are pretty awesome. riding the bike sucks until you get your weight up. yes, you will have to work out - among other things...

you have to work out at the gym in order to succeed physically.

if your health goes down, you must re-energize at the local chicken or burger joint.

if you want chicks to dig you, you have to get a smooth haircut and nice clothes.

go to the bar and play the local shark for fifty to a thousand bucks. if u don't feel like going that, play the video games in there that are kind of cool. the monkey game is cool, actually, but the bumblebee game sucks. big deal. kill some patrons and take their cash too!

when i finish the game, i will come back and write more about it, but in the meantime...

aside from the overly in-your-face profanity and racial slurs, it plays like a regular GRAND THEFT entry. the only thing that sets it apart are all the supercool upgrades. in a nutshell...

YOU WON'T DO BETTER THAN THIS!!!

What to Tell Your Parents About This GREAT Game!

From the moment I saw the retro Commodore 64 intro screen of Vice City, I knew something monumental was about to be experienced. The Grand Theft Auto series (well, III and Vice City anyways) are simply amazing - completely immersive worlds that are full of cultural criticism and unending fun.

But enough of that. If you have parents like I had as a kid, you might need help educating them about violent media like this game. Let's face it, this game will push EVERY button that those in authority have. So, here's what to do: tell your parents to check out the 2001 Surgeon General (of the United States) report on media violence. (...) Did you catch the key phrase in the section on video games? It reads: "The impact of video games on violent behavior remains to be determined." In other words, this has not been even close to PROVEN yet. Sure, parents can still choose not to let you play this game, that's their right. But, at least you now have some credible ammunition to help you combat the EXTREME prude-ness of our society.

Play on, I say! I'll see you in San Andreas!

The Finest GTA in the Series

Well, well, the bad boys of video games are BACK, and this time they have you playing the role of an African-American gangsta in the fictional state of "San Andreas" (read: California), featuring the subcities of "Los Santos" (read: LA), "San Fierro" (read: SF) and "Las Venturas" (read: Vegas), complete with semirural hinterlands and waterways linking the three cities. It is literally a huge game world, much larger than GTA 3 or Vice City, with much to explore and have fun with, any many new features, such as haircuts, food, girlfriends, swimming, working out, etc., in addition to the staple of story-necessary missions with the boyz from da hood.

News flash for anyone who critiques the game for its mature subject matter: GTA is a game that places the player in the role of a criminal, and it's been that way from the beginning. You vandalize, steal, kill, traffic, pimp and the like. That is the whole idea of the game. If you don't like that, are offended by it, think it is a bad idea to have video games with this kind of theme, etc., then you will clearly not enjoy this game, and you should try others. But if you are interested in a game that involves a fantasyland simulated street criminal/gangsta, then you will really enjoy GTA: San Andreas.

It goes without saying based on the above that this is not a game for kids!!!

i fell asleep the after the first 5 mins probally becus it was 1:00am. but still , I had alot of problems with this,i had trouble understanding the story line. then i realized i was starin at the wall.The graphics on this game sucked, luckily i fixed it by changin it to channel 4 cus i had it on 3.The controls were awful i tried to play but nothing happen, so i followed the control and it went to my xbox.The worst part is i failed my math test the day before i dont think my teacher likes me.After school there was a big fight and the cops showed up, that always happens at my school.i think that girl on the left side likes me she keeps starin at me. In 3rd period theres a guy that has a sickness where he cant control his crappin so they stuck a special bag to catch the crap sometimes when its quiet i hear it.i found out that beef burritos make u crap more than bean burritos. Does anyone else have that problem.im thinking of startin a chat line with anyone with that problem.Because its serious.Well i gotta go my stomach is growlin again, darn burritos

Aight look, it doesnt matter if the dude is black. It matters if its a good game. If u redneck white supremesis dudes dont wanna buy the game simply because the dudes black, well then dont. then i wont have to pre-order the game and save $5. Rockstar will still make tons of money from the non-redneck racist people like me. So when i go up to gamestop or where ever i go im not gonna think twice about gettin this game because of the color of the character. Thank you and and i cant wait for this game to come out!

Rockstar Has done it again

This Game is the best game of the Grand Theft Auto series. In this game you can Cruise down Compton, California and the worst city in the united states Watts, California. You will be totally Blown away by this game, if you think that Vice City was a good game this game makes Vice City lookie like a Barbie game.

good, but not what i expected

This game had enough hype to sell millions of copies right out of the gate regardless of what the content is. rockstar did fix many of the glitches that were in vice city, but the game itself is kinda gheto. The missions are more of the gang type objectives which are less than appealing to me. Also I have found that the targeting is not as easy as it was in Vice City, many times the targets must be directly in front of you in order to get a lock, and the camera is difficult to get to swing quickly when you need to lock on someone right away. plus you must go to the gym to work out which just involves you pressing the buttons many time very quickly to either do a bench press or ride a stationary bike, very lame, and the list goes on. If you are thinking about buying this game, do save yourself some cash and rent it first. I hope that I will be able to get 20 bucks for mine on eBay.

In the Ghetto

Look, Ghetto's are disgusting, southern California's are especially awful. Everything about them is fetid and rotten.
Being black is not the issue. Being racist is not the issue.
GTA is about fantasy. The fantasy to do whatever you want. Im sorry but gangbanging it up in the ghetto on a bicycle geting fat is just not a fantasy of mine. If it sounds interesting to you, buy it. Im sure rockstar did a great job. The rest of us will just have to wait 3 or 4 years for the next GTA. Hopefully they make us an inmate in prison, because prisons are AWESOME!!!

Xbox Version is better

The Xbox version of this game is way better. For one, the graphics are enhanced, not crappy like the PS2 version. And second of all loading time and processing time is is literally cut in half. SO DONT BUY THIS VERSION, SUCK IT UP AND BUY AN XBOX. oh and if this game bores you, you either weren't using cheats or u havent played the missions atleast through
los santos.
