The Best Game Ever!

Once again Rockstar games has managed to add another landmark game in their already impressive aresnal. GTA San Andreas is the best game I have ever played. The whole city is so realistic you can practically smell the hot pavement cooking in the afternoon sun. The characters all seem to have been lifted off Boyz in the Hood or New Jack City but that doesnt matter, because the storyline is still intresting enough to keep you revited. The sheer variety of things to do is mind boggling, cut your hair, work out, get some tattoos, buy some clothes, get drunk, play video games..that is just a few of the things that keep you busy. This time around Rockstar seems to have added elements of role playing games into the mix. There are several meters determing strenght, endurance, skill and health. This meters can be worked on and filled up until you become the ultimate gangsta killing machine. The terrain is a lot more intresting this time too, more hills, more valleys, forests, mountains, lakes, rivers! I just enjoy driving around from the mountains down to the city, which is fun in itself. The people up in the mountains are heavily southern accented which is pretty funny. Anyways this is definiely worth the $50!!

it really sucks with out tommy! who is carl?

I beilive this game is really going to be the best gta ever! i think gta just gets better and better over time. i just love how rock star north has made it more realistic than vice city and gta3 like how you can recruit gang members and engage in four person drive-by's or plot house robberies also the new stamina meter and how you will now have to eat food and just the little things like ridding bikes or swimming. its also cool that you can cruise on over to La Venturra and open your own casino or just gamble in the casinos already there. over all i think this game will just blow your mind. only thing that really really sucks is they replaced gta:vice city's Tommy Vercetti with some new guy named Carl. other than that I HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS GAME BUY IT BELIVE ME YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOITED!

Come on guys, lets be realistic.

To that Mothers Against Videogame Violence and all the other people that give this game 1 star, shut your piehole. Games like GTA are for MATURE audiences, not little kids. Thats why it has a "M" rating, because its not for your little 8 year-old rugrats. Plus, there are far more things out there on TV and movies, but i bet you only let your kids watch movies about unicorns or rainbows right? I bet you let them watch the news. I have stopped watching the news because of what they show you. Your paralyzing your kids by clouding them from actual reality by covering their eyes from games like this. When they get to the real world, its not going to be like Sesame Street and Disney movies, its going to be death, killing, and brutality. Its happening right now in Iraq. Honestly, if by playing games like this and Mortal Kombat or whatever, and your kid goes and actually portrays acts displayed in the game, then you shamed every parent in the United States. Its not the game's fault, its YOUR fault. If a game would make them go something like that, then they were either a.) messed up way before this game even came out, or b.) you suck as a parent, and c.) Sesame Street and Barney is going to mess them up way more than this game. So people of the world, buy this game if you want to have fun.

Wow!

I didn't read as many reveiws and forums about Vice City as I have for San Andreas. I am going to definatally preorder this game. I already got kinda bord of Vice City. Rockstar Games are the best because I have played other Rockstar Games and they are so cool. Jumping from GTA 3 to Vice City was a big increase and now what I have heard about San Andreas seems that Rockstar is extremially good at produceing shooters.

Can't wait for this game!!

I just read the most recent preview someone put on here from July 8, 2004. OK man, glad to see you've kept up with this game. This game is NOT taking place in the 70s, if u read the Amazon description. It has also been updated on Rockstar's website. It takes place in the 90s. The reason why it was originally going to be the 70s is because the original location for this GTA was Las Vegas. This game is gonna be awesome. The city is about 5 to 6 times larger than Vice City, and the character can FINALLY swim. It's about time that the bad-ass can swim. Also, the load time is quicker and the character is more realistic. You actually have to sit down for a bite to eat or else he'll die. I don't remember all the details but go check out the site or www.ebworld.com for all the info on the game. I can't wait for October!

GTA SAN ANDREAS IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE IN THE 90'S JUST TO LET YOU KNOW. YOUR GOING TO HAVE MANY MORE PLACES YOU CAN GO. WHERE AS IN VICE CITY YOU COULD GO INTO A BUILDING BUT NEVER REALLY DO ANYTHING. IN SAN ANDREAS IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY. YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO EAT AT MANY MORE RESTRAUNTS AND RIDE A BIKE. THE CARS ARE GOING TO BE MORE REALISTIC. OVERALL THE GRAPHICS ARE GOING TO BE BETTER. IT'S GOING TO ONE OF THE BEST GRAND THEFT AUTOS SO FAR!!!

amazing

this game is going to be the best out of all the grand theft auto games. San Andreas is going to have a great combination of Vice City's weapons and cars and GTA 3 story line. The cities are better to because istead of one big cities there are three and they are all huge.

Alright heres the stuff i read in the official Playstation 2 magazine (some of the stuff you may already know but oh well):
-The game is set in 90's San Andreas, which is a whole state that contains cities like Los Angelas, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and a bunch of country stuff in between like deserts, mountains, rivers, and lots and lots of interstate highways.
- You are CJ who decides to come back to his old Los Santos gang called the Orange Grove Family after spending a couple of years in Liberty City...
-YOU CAN: eat in restuarants (get fat), Work out in the gym and get buff( get too buff and you move slower), improve CJ's skills, get haircuts, ride a bicycle, wear lots of outfits, buy and build buildings (many more things to do with this than in Vice City), Gamble at casino's, break into houses and steal money, swim,dual wield mutliple guns, recruit your own gang to help you out, do 4 person drive by shootings.
The improvements: -five to six times the size of Vice City, game comes on a rare dual layer dvd, no more loading between cities, new graphics engine with 35-50% more polygons on screen, longer view distance, more realistic relections, shadows, and animation; every character has a "brain", a bunch of more detailed indoor locations, more mini games, man hunt style gun targeting, better hand to hand combat, each weapon is detailed and has its own realistic experience, rag doll physics, wider range of vehicles with improved physics, and the vehicles get rusty and dirty over time.
The average pedestrian in San Andreas will have up to six times more dialouge than in Vice City. Another thing is that the game will automatically adjust the level of difficulty if a player gets stuck on that impossible mission. However this doesnt mean you can fail and then it will be easy, the changes are supposed to practically invisible and very small. IF you get fat the insults will be pretty mean. You can ride a bicycle by pushing x real fast to go real fast. There is free aiming with any weapon. Also your rival gang are the Balla's and if you go in their territory you are dead meat. The cops provide a greater challenge and are very determined. I got all of this information from a very good magazine that is 100% Play Station 2 called PSM, I strongly recommend this magazine if you are interested in upcoming games and reviews on games. From what i read in the magazine this is going to be a great game and I am preordering it right now... you should too!

San Andreas Rocks!

When I heard that there would be yet another GTA, I was happy! I loved everything about Vice City and when I got the email from Gamespot about San Andreas, I was full of joy.

The extra features on this game makes it in my opinion the best of the GTA series. I never would have thought that there would be anything like this on GTA and I'm glad that it will be now.

Now on the subject of there being a lead black character...what's the deal with you racist people? This is a game! It is fictional! What does it matter if you are black character or not? Tommy Vercetti was an Italian and I didn't hear any complaints from the Caucasians. You're not Italian but it's okay to protray one, but it isn't okay to protray a black man. What kind of logic is that?

I'm a black female and I don't complain when I play GTA that the main character is an Italian male. Heck, I believe that as long as the game is entertaining it shouldn't matter. You are not black, you are only controlling a black character. Guess what? When your PS2 goes off, you still aren't black!

You tell your kids not to believe things on TV because it's fake, well you should listen to your own advice. Don't believe what you see on your TV from your PS2 games because it is fake! It isn't real. And another thing, how do you think some blacks feel when they play their PS2? There are so few games with a playable black character, but do you hear them complaining about the games? No. So just please stop your craziness and play the game, it's going to be awesome!
