I purchased this game about a year ago and i just eat it about a week ago. i must say that it was one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences i have had in a long time. it is amazing because of just how massive the environment is and of course all of the realistic addition, like cutting your hair, working out, and eating.
The biggest reason for me to take so long to complete it was so that i could fully enjoy it. The plot line is so intricate and expansive that by the end of it you will be totally engrossed in the main character (CJ). Its like reading a 900 page novel that you never want to end.
As for its m rating, it fully merits it. Don't let your 10 year old son play this game and learn how to pick up hookers then run em' over once he is done with em'

I Agree Totally With "Music Lover"

This game doesn't even come close to Vice City, which happens to be my favorite game thus far for PS2. Hell, to be frank, Vice City was so damn "cool" that it actually reinvented the 80's and made the 80's genre cool again. I think Rockstar did the series an injustice by substituting the "Italian mafia" theme with a cheapended "thugged-out" approach to try and attract a different fan base. The mafia theme in Vice City is what made the game for me, and I'm saddened that they had to use a different approach for this one. 2-Pac fans will love this game. As for myself, I'm thankful I didn't buy it. 3 and a half stars, rounded down.

This is one...massive game

After the massive success of GTA III and Vice City, Rockstar has come back with a different spin on the story and created a massive playing field. This game to call it huge is just simply understatement. Not all is well in San Andreas and I'll get to that.

Story: Instead of mafia, it's more gang/mafia oriented. CJ skipped town after his brother and mother were gunned down. 5 years later, he returns and decided to step up and take control. He'll be taken to no less than 3 cities and meet interesting characters along the way.

Graphics: I don't know what Rockstar was thinking. You have 3 cities, a plethora of options and minigames...all on one disc? Star Ocean 3 and Shadow Hearts 2 both game with 2 discs. Why didn't Rockstar do the same? To show the power of one disc? If so, it succeeds and fails. Graphics looks meh and there's slowdown but still, traversing big area with no load times? Nice.

Sound/Music: Like any cities, you have control of 8 radio stations, each playing different music. But they could've picked better songs cause unlike Vice City where any station was worth listening to, here I'm only choosing 2 to 3. Voice acting's nice with Sam Jackson, James Woods along with some others supplying voices. One thing: there is a LOT of swears and I don't mean S or A words, I'm talking F, n**** and loads others.

Gameplay: I don't know why developers think that a difficult and annoying mission is "fun". Some are 3 part missions: one mission I had to drop off a ho, then gun down someone beating on a ho, then go save another one, THEN shoot down 2 cars taking off with one of them. And if you've been to message boards, the mission "Supply Lines" is probably one of the worst I've seen. There's 3 things in your way: 1)your plane can't drive worth ****. You got 5 couriers to shoot down, all spaced out, and 3) you have fuel which means by the time you actually do all that, you probably don't even have enough to get back to the roof.

As for the rest of it, there's welcome and not-so-welcome changes. Now you got stamina, muscle, fat, sex appeal and skills to worry about. More stamina, more time running without getting tired. Muscle means stronger melee attacks. Fat's just there so that your muscle doesn't go down when running/training but the fat instead. And sex appeal gets you chicks. One mission way later on makes you take a girl on a bunch of dates to get a keycard and it takes awhile. Control's schemes roughly the same with some changes.

This is a game that has unbelievable hype behind it and you play it and you notice some things that bug you. For me it was mission tediousness(they're usually fetch quests: go kill him, go pick this up etc) and some graphics issues but nonetheless definately give this a try but prepare to die/fail...a lot.

I've been waiting a long time for this

GTA3 was nice, GTAVC had more options in the story mode and more options of what guns you would like, and a less confusing map.

GTASA from what developers say is all that and A H3LL of a lot more

DIfferent cars, more cars, great guns, more planes, new story.

AND it's in California, This is gunna be nice

HOW could anyone give this less that 5 stars

What can I say, this game is the mother of all game. GTA has released a much different game the Vice City. A must buy! Although the graphic violence and language can get bad at times, it adds to the element of the game. The game can be simple but has several twists and turns that will take you for a ride. I play this for hours and hours without getting bored. This game rules!!!!!!

this game sucks and is totally overrated

despite the claims that this game would be so much more everything than other gta games, it's just more of the same with a few added tricks (like swimming, etc.).
the worst thing about this game is the frustrating missions. when you get to the 'first date' missions you'll see. you have to drive 20 minutes to get there (there is nowhere to save within miles and miles), then you might chase the guys (1 of the 4 missions) for 10 minutes then some car might pull out and crash you.....and then you get "sorry they got away." after some sh%$ like this happens a couple of times and you waste hours just getting back to square one you'll be tired of this cr&@ like i am. i deleted this game off of my memory card and i was happy to do it.

avoid!!!!!!!!!!!

Mommy Said This Is A No No!!

I asked my mom if I could get this game and after having a discussion with the friendly clerk, she said no. She said that the guns and rap music would be bad for me. She suggested that I go and pick out someting else. I chose a country CD. It was the new CD by Keith Urban. My mom told me that all other music is evil except country. My mom instead bought me a Pokemon game for my Gameboy! She said she was going to sell my Playstation 2 because it had bad games that you could put in it and play. She said that there were bad words, guns, blood, and girls. She said that that would be bad for me. I'm happy with my Pokemon and country music!

I mean, everything has been improved for the most part. I just think the islands suck as far as layout. All the extras are very nice though. I don't really like the whole "gangsta" feeling either. I was much more interested in Vice Citys rockish theme. Also, the rewards for 100% are ALOT worse for this game than Vice. But ill do it just for the sake of completion. I think ill go replay GTA 3 now. Cheers
