Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is one of the most inapropriate games ever made. Yet people still buy and play games of the series. Why do you think that it is fun running around with semi-automatic guns shooting every person you see. This game is morally wrong.
Although inapropriate I still find this as a fun game, not a good one.
Graphics 5/5
The graphics on this game are good although some scenes that they depict maybe have too realistic of graphics
Music 2/5
The majority of the songs on their use the F-word twice every sentence. Not all of the songs are bad you just have to choose not to listen to them.
Gameplay 4/5
The controls take about 15 minutes to get used to. I personally find the controls for flying planes to be off. They just seam to need something more to them.
Storyline 5/5
The storyline is good, none of it seems too far-fetched. Sometiemes it just dosn't make sense for you to be robbing that casino or steeling that combine.
Overall this is a fun game, but why do you have to be killing at least a dozen people in every mission. Why can't you be some hero guy who is trying to save the city from gangs and corrupt police officers instead of a member of a gang who kills everyone who so much as insults him.
Basically this game is setting a very bad example for people who play this, and some of those people could be 7 or 8 year old kids.
Great Game but Too Violent

I watched a friend play San Andreas on the PS2. I have to admit, it rivals Halo 2 on the Xbox and proves to be an extremely solid title for the PS2. Even if I played for just half an hour, I am ashamed of myself for having fun when I played this game. I can't believe I and other people have fun shooting innocent people. I know it's a video game but if people will do those things in video games, how hard will it be for them to do it in real life. Take my advice, play other FPSs that don't teach violent morals. Like Halo, for example. You fight to survive, instead of living a life of crime.
GRAND THEFT AUTO 3 WAS COOL . . . . .

First off, this game is a slap in the face to Black people everywhere. I know, I know the other games poked fun at Italian moffia stereotypes...but this one goes TOO FAR. The language is horrible, and the story line is very Boyz in the Hood. I'm not sure why these games are so popular because they all seem exactly alike to me. The graphics are terrible (only because their is so much going on...but still). The personalization is a gimick and adds little to the game play (okay so if you get fat you won't run very well and people will call you a "fat ass"). This game is over rated (think HALO on XBOX) and offensive to both Black people and gamers (this game is just a recycle of the same ole' same ole'). RockStar should stop making GTA games until the next wave of consoles hit-maybe then they can something other than GTA 3.3
This gamez awesome!!

I loved the previous 2 GTA games(III and Vice City) and was quite looking forward to San Andreas ever since it was announced,However it turns out it was just the same as what i`d playedyed before except the fact there is a new story,bicycles and RPG elements and that was pretty it.
I liked it for about 3 days then i started feeling bored.
here is my specs for the game:
Graphics 2/10:ARE YOU SERIOUS? GTA has had crap graphics since GTA III and they never changed them(although i got over them then as it was so fun @ first) SA is not any different in visuals than VC-Non acceptable Rockstar!-Oh yaeh this game has TERRIBLE glitches peoples cars driving upside down-gosssssh
Sound:8/10:Yeah the music and chat shows are quite entertaining to listen to.
A.I. 3/10:Same ol` thing people run into walls(and glitch through them too) the cops are the same thing as in Vice City-stupid and unfair they still arrest you but when others hit you they still walk along as if nothin` happended.
The traffic still crash into each other and people still walk past dead bodies as if nothing has happened(its laughable in GTA III but is just pathetic now).
characters:Nutheads that think they are hard-CJ is an ugly sissy i actually prefer Raiden from MGS2 than friggin CJ.
All the other characters suck-characters in Vice City and III rocked.
theme: uses the suck-like-hell "gangsta in da ghetto" which is the most boring and frggin ugly theme GTA may ever use especcially with the characters-ugly CJ,Fat retaard Big Smoke and whoever.
overall:4/10-one of the worst GTA games i have ever played(except the sh!itty PS1 originals).
However:I reccoemd this game to you IF you ain`t played GTA III or Vice City or if you are one of those retards who like "ghangsta in da ghetto" themes.
I hope GTA I.V(GTA4) will be better than this krap-i know it will i hope its set on something OTHER than gangsta in the ghetto and since it will be on PS3 i expect AT LEAST-MGS2 style graphics-its rumored to be set in London so i hope it uses that style Britishgangsters use(cockney accents,drinking beer,Informal words-and not to be rasist or anthing but WHITE) and i hope the main character is as cool if not cooler than Tommy Vercetti(from Vice City)-So i DO have high expectation for GTA4 which i hope will be one of my games when i get a PS3 sooner or later(i also want MGS4,UT2007 etc.).
San Andreas was VERY overated it got a 9.6 of Gamespot-MY AZZ! it deserves soemthing more like a 6.5.
There were THREE great games out in 2004:
Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas
HALO 2
Metal Gear Solid 3:Snake Eater
and i must say that GTA:SA was NOT as fun or exiting as MGS3 and HALO 2 were-even if GTA4 is good i don`t think i will ever like it as much as i like Metal Gear or HALO(or Far Cry,Resident Evil,Splinter Cell,Hitman).
Plus freeroam style sandbox games are getting VERY old and that all includes:
-the GTA series
-The "Driver" series
-The Getaway games.
-DEFINATLY TrueCrime.
I mean its alway these 4 games getting hyped(Mostly GTA) and NONE of them seem to desrve it any more.
The only sandbox game i tend to like now is "Mercenaries:Playground Of Destruction" i don`t know why maybe its the fact that theres MORE to do otehr than getting fat or driving around in a plastic car(as they seriously do look plastic in GTA).
so GTA:SA SUX.
good game

Swimming,eating,being fat,working out,being skinney again,riding bikes,flying jets,making gangs,real strip clubs,and being gangsta.Thaat is the good stuff,(...)?I mean once I heard 2004 I said "goody gum drops",but when I heard October "crap!".Though the release date [is too late] I highly recomend it.
