I didn't even start playing this game until after I beat GTA IV when a friend recommended I check out some of the earlier games in the series. It's absolutely phenomenal! If you can deal with the certainly less-than-spectacular graphics when compared to current popular games (especially GTA IV), I promise you'll have a blast! There are actually many more side missions and fun things to do in this game than GTA IV. Even after beating the main storyline, you'll still have hours upon hours of extra tasks that you can complete. Rockstar should have remade this game for GTA IV. A must buy!!
Older Game But A Clasic

If you want to get some stress out or if you're just bored, I recommend this game. Otherwise, don't waste your time with this second-rate game.
THE BEST GTA GAME SO FAR!

Man, ill tell you, i have no idea why the creatirs of GTA didnt make another game like this one! This game was the most interactive, exciting, and addictive GTA game ever! For the first part, i loved how you could change your clothes from your head to feet and get stats like respect, muscle and sex appeal. Second of all, i was impressed of the gunplay. In the other GTA games, the gun sounds (i.e. AK-47) were very fake. It didnt even sound like a real gun!! WTF??!! But in SA, you get to hold TWO guns in both hands and its like firing a real gun because it makes a life-like sound. In a nutshell, i reccomend this game to anyone who loves GTA and can tell the difference from Real Life to Fiction.

only reason im typing this review is because GTA4 was supposed to be out 2 months ago :l but its not..and i got bored so i decided to type this up...
out of every GTA, this one takes the cake basically because of its deep Customization. in no other game (except Fable) can you Buy multiple Houses, Have Multiple Girlfriends, change outfits, and just take CONTROL of your Character and his surroundings like you would with Yourself in Reality. not to mention the HUGE atmosphere of city and Forest Landscape thats at your disposal. Running from Cops can be TONS of fun...but when that gets old..like it did with the past GTA's..you need MORE to keep you interested besides just the Missions...and GTA:SA brings you MORE like no other game before it. its literally like actual LIFE..
hopefully GTA4 is just as Customizable if not more so...
iLL .
EXCELLENT, A TRIUMPH 9.25 OUT OF 10

Despite Grand Theft Auto ripoffs like Saints Row and Crackdown stealing spotlight from this classic franchise, it still retains the awesomeness that gamers felt when it was first released and the controversy that angers parents to this day. The missions are awesome, the game has quite a sense of humor, a helluva lot of swearing, cool art style, and it still has its ghetto feel. No competent gamers should miss this excellent title for any reason at all.
Attention!! to play this game in Xbox 360

This game will NOT work in Japanese/Asian version Xbox 360s
because of the Region Code (NTSC)
One of the Greatest Games Ever, especially for XBOX 360

I want to echo Jesse's comment below about playing this epic on XBOX 360. I played San Andreas on the PS2 over the more advanced XBOX version years ago because at the time the PS2 controller was superior for sandbox games.
I now have a large screen HDTV, and really wanted to see what it was like to play a superior version of the game with XBOX 360 controller - which now has the bumper buttons mapped to the PS2 bumper buttons exact.
As millions of fans can attest, this may be one of the greatest games ever made. Although the graphics pale in comparison to XBOX 360 titles, there isn't a single game in the XBOX 360 library that can top the fun and game-play experience that is San Andreas. Oblivion is an amazing experience that was maybe the most satisfying game I ever played. However, there is something about San Andreas that makes it the most fun game of all time and playing it on the XBOX 360 makes it seem like a brand new experience.
Also, in spite of what some review sites mention, the XBOX version of the game is superior to the PS2 version in every single category, especially for the graphics, load times, and 5.1 Dolby sound. Playing this game on the XBOX 360 sheds a whole new light on the accomplishments that this title achieved.
The only caveat is that the game is extremely violent and contains graphic language. This game can only be recommended for adults and folks who are not turned off from the mature theme.
Aside from that, this game deserves its place next to the all-time greats of the past few years: Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, Ninja Gaiden Black, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, and God of War 1 & 2.
