March 6, 2006 below has it all backwards

The version (2.0) has been altered to 'remove' the ability to 'hot coffee' mod the program.
This version (2.0), while still containing the violence, language, and sexual references was altered to remove the ability to de-clothe' the characters within the game.
The original release could be altered.
The version (2.0) was released due to a small public outcry about the nudity. AND a few 'activities' that are going on while in the 'nude'.....
Strange when you can remember the reasons why they tried to ban Grand Theft Auto 3 all those years ago.
This time around they don't even mention violence.
They are mad now because kids can see people 'nekkid'.
;-)

Nice game

I like the GTA series of games and this one is great too. I can turn up my settings to max (My computer is over a year old) and there are no problems. The kid reviewer claims that he doesn't like the "N/F bomb". That is why this is rated M for Mature (so he should not even be playing it). To give the series a taste some things cannot be eliminated.

This is a fun games just exploring the city or completing missions.

Great game & runs perfectly!

If you liked Vice City, you'll love San Andreas. With more missions, car and character customizations and rival gang territories to take over, what could be better?

The games biggest downfall is the familiar feeling you get after a while, however, the new and improved options easily make it a winner and well worth the cash.

As a note, I had NO problems running this game with pretty much all options on high. I run a Dell 8300 3.0 HT, 1 GB ram, Radeon 9700 PRO and it flies!

Strap up and get ready to defend your 'hood.

Best game yet in GTA series!

I bought this game a bit late (2 years after It came out)
but it still seemed state of the art to me! Loved the story, and gameplay has improved significantly

Pros-

-HUGE MAP, with 5 massave areas to explore
-TONS of vehicles- you might not see the same one twice!
-Cool new features, like vehicle customization
-Endless stuff to do!
-multiplayer mode

Cons-

-character customization prosess can be annoying
-If you leave the game on without pausing, you could be in for a bad supprise when you come back (ie, all your muscle going down)

Go buy this game, you will really like it

Amazing at first and even more so in hindsight

This game is literally the alpha and the omega of its genre.
The storyline was great, the characters were really good, the freedom and depth in the game was almost unbelievable. Planes, choppers, bikes, cars, you name it... Drug dealing, gun running, cop bribing, you name it.

Even still, this game had 2 or 3 pretty big flaws. Namely that it is not great graphically, but on a strong pc with a good graphics card, it is hard to really complain. What most bothered me is that on a half dozen or so missions, the objective was so poorly phrased so that I ended up spending a few hours trying to do the wrong thing entirely! I was flying the plane and trying to land it on a cliff instead of a hit a marker x thousand feet in the air! The directions for the mission said take it to the cliff so I did...

Also, some of the missions might take a lot of attempts before you succeed so have patience. As lame as my last quasi complaint is, I think the storyline could have been longer! I wanted to see a few more missions where Carl and Wuzi have fun after the big heist and I wish CJ would have had a definite resolution with Catalina.

If anyone has not planed any of the GTA games before, as I hadn't either, then this game might overwhelm you and the first couple nights, you will really hate it! But if you do buy it, be warned, this game will take about 2-3 weeks of playing 6-8 hours a day if you want to get close to 100% completion and it is addictive!!!

If you speed, or just break the law you will pay with your money and or your life. Go down to the docks, no law on the docks. Its a fun game. You can do all the things you can not do in real life. I guess you could if you are willing to suffer the consequences.

works ok with vista

great game. bought this during spring break and have been playing for non stop for a week. It works well with vista, although it crashes from time to time when I exist to view the map or when i jump to the desktop by using alt+tab. But no serious issues.

The best of the series so far

I have played GTA San Andreas for about 3 weeks now and according to the game meter, about 12% has been covered! Very extense. There are a lot of activities to do (drive by's to rival gangs, keeping the girlfriend happy, fighting over territory, etc) besides the main missions. One of the most interesting, is the pimping mission after which the hookers pay you to have sex with them!.

Driving is a more difficult, since the camera takes some time to re-position itself, so you have to move it yourself with the mouse, but is a matter of getting used to.

One thing it requieres, is a lot of RAM and a good video card.

What I like also, is that you get experience by using the weapons and accuracy improves.

One thing I didn't like, is the "road rage". That is, if you collide with another car, they sometimes get too angry and chase you and crash against you, to the point of ruining you mission.

real fun. reaaally fun!

This game is really fun and i love it. You can do basically anything you want including crimes of course, but watch out for the police. I recommend this game to anyone who does not care for profanity or gang violence. Get this game if you want some fun.
