GTA San Andreas Review
You really do not need to read this; you already know it is a great game. I have been having a rocking time playing it. It is meaner, bigger, better, and more fun than any other GTA, hell any other game you have played before.
Now, let me elucidate. GTA San Andreas is the newest from Rockstar and as always, they do an excellent job of it. The production quality, the graphics (as far as a PS2 can handle and draw), the sounds, voice acting, music and all radio channels are top notch.
Rockstar was not kidding when they said it was a big game. It is huge, it is a woolly mammoth, and I am crushed under the sheer magnitude of time I can spend, things I can do, and people I can kill. Hell, you find a dildo somewhere in the middle of the game, and you can use that as a melee weapon. If that does not tell you how balls out Rockstar has gone n making this very very do everything, I do not know what can. Maybe I do. The sheer magnitude of the game is so overwhelming I will end up writing a hojillion page review and still to be done. So I will tell you this, young skywalker:
The previous GTAs were based in one city, the one in Vice a bit bigger. San Andreas is a STATE. You can now swim, thank God, and drive cars, trains, planes, choppers, hang gliders, bicycles, motorcycles, everything. You can get a haircut, a tattoo, and wear clothes you like.
You have to eat food to survive, if you do not you get weak and eventually die. If you eat too much you actually grow fat. There is a gym across the ‘hood where you can pump up and build muscles. All these help your character stats. Yes, you heard me right. RPG-esque elements are present now. Others include sex appeal, respect, and strength.
So now that the cooler features are told, how exactly is the game? Is it fun? The narrative is engrossing, the characters are well acted. And there is so much else to do beyond the single-player story missions, which are in itself mammoth. It is the biggest, most extraordinary gaming extravaganza, development wise, that this industry has ever seen. Buy it, you owe yourself this much. I have played this so much and so much more still remains.
If you do not own a PS2, go in to depression, slowly spiraling onto madness and then end up in the gutters of Bihar. Alternatively, buy a PS2. You will gnaw at your hands waiting for the PC version.

Just played GTA San Adreas and it sweet. The graphics are so much better. The story line is great, basicly you choose who you want to do a mission for and when. I think that puts more freedom into the game. Thing I like the most is being able to make a very sweet tricked out lowriders. The only thing I don’t like that all the bikes do is bunny hop, wheelie, and do stoppies.

Well, i thought the amount of violence was both a nasty shock and a disappiontment. I bought my 7 year old son this game and now he has turned both boring and depressed. He is suffering from this game and i think his addiction has gone too far. Think twice or end up like my son.

Grand Theft auto: San Andreas is the best game ever I think. Cheats, Storyline, everything has improved by A LOT. I played it for around5 min (it seemed like) and immedietly knew that was what I wanted
