GTA: San Incrediblus!!!, 31 Oct 2004
By A Customer
This is amazing. If you like the previous gta's you'll be in heaven with this one.
Plus's
- Three huge cities to explore - built-up areas scattered among vast countryside.
- The visuals and landscapes are amazing.
- The fact that you can swim and climb adds a whole other dimension to the gameplay. Just running about simply isn't enough to get the job done.
- You can go to the gym and work out, making CJ more athletic. The more you work out, the greater his stamina and power.
- Similarly, the more you use weapons / vehicles, etc, the greater your accuracy / reloading / handling becomes.
- The police are smarter, as are gang members.
- Great new vehicles! Bikes - chopper, mountain bike, bmx (with amazing bunnyhops), police bike, forklift truck, campervan, parachute (!), loads of new cars, etc.
- Two player gameplay!! You can activate the second controller for some double-team mayhem.
- Fight against other gangs to gain territory across the city. When your land comes under attack you must go back to guard it.
- You can buy car upgrades - body parts, nitrous oxide, etc.
- Take pictures and save them to your memory card!
- Great music ranging from Alice In Chains, Ice Cube, Billy Idol, James Brown.
- Unlike in Vice City, when you reach a blocked bridge at the beginning of the game simply jump off and swim across! You're under police instructions to not leave the area so when you get to the other side you'll have a 4star wanted level! Try exploring new ground prematurely with a few cop friends! Minus's
- I don't think there's quite as much humour compared to vice city, but it's still really funny.
- Some of the blue 'blip' markers on the map are hard to spot when you're trying to speed across town.
- There is a girlfriend 'sims' aspect, which I find a bit annoying. You have to keep taking her out to keep her happy, which is kind of dull. I personally play these games to escape from female nagging, so understand my annoyance when this needy chick turns up on the scene!
- You can carry around a spray can or a camera - but not both at the same time - annoying! Not many faults I've found so far. There are still all the plus's from the past games, but now other little gems like a skate park for your bmx skills, a fully-usuable basketball court, and usable arcade machines! The music's still great, the visuals great, the missions are much more varied than before - not just shooting and driving, but now challenges such as rescuing peeps from housefires and rhythm challenges along the lines of pa rappa the rapper.
Buy it now or be sorry later.

Thank the lord for Rockstar North, 30 Oct 2004
Quite simply, ITS MASSIVE. I played it non-stop the day i got it and i've covered an area i would reckon equivelant to the size of Vice City and 60% of the map remains undiscovered! You know all the details, your CJ your back to revive your gang and avenge the death of your mother, so no need for more of that. Anyways, i don't have the time or words!There are bikes, street cleaners, Choppers, motorbikes and i believe aeroplanes, helicopters. TRACTORS, there are so many vehicles in this game you could probably waste a good couple of days messing around with them, thats without going into the customising. You can add alloys, bumpers, colours, nitro, hydraulics. Plus the handling is a damm sight better than in vice city, and since it was pretty ok this is a revelation. Talking, as i was, about customisation, you can have beards, Elvis hair, B.A HAIR ( y'know B.A Baracus ). AWESOME. tatttos are there for the choosing, chains, tracksuits, jeans. The possibilities are endless. Then there is the 'keep fit' element. Its strange at first, having to keep and eye on your muscle and stamina, but the excercises that you complete are so intuitive that you can't help but feel they add a certain 'something' to the game. The visuals are awesome, the sounds are impressive. Pop-up's present but in a game of this size that streams off the disk you can allow some 'minor' flaws. Loading times are vastly improved. I could go on but i won't since i'm off to play this awesome game some more! Buy this game, you won't regret it. Just make sure you get it when you've got plenty o spare time.

All Hail Grand Theft Auto-San Andreas, 5 Nov 2005
What can I say? This is simply the best game ever! Ever since I played GTA on a PSX demo years ago I have been hooked on this series! Having played all previous GTA's I didn't think life on the PS2 could get any better - how wrong I was. GTA-SA is a masterpiece, a work of art, a stroke of genius. To put it simply, if you owned this game I very much doubt it that you would want to buy another game ever again.I have spent hours (and many sleepless nights that blended into days) playing GTA-SA, I have completed it twice, I have played it to the point of virtual PS2 meltdown and I always seem to find something new within. From the ghettos of Los Santos to the Casinos of Las Venturas, from Cluckin' Bell to Burger Shot, from a street race to owning your own plane everything about this game is excellent. There is only one very, very, very minor fault, and that is a matter of opinion, the graphics. On a few rare occasions you may experience some "slow-down" of the game. I say that this "problem" is a matter of opinion because you have to weigh things up. The game is massive with virtually no boundaries on where you can go and everything looks fantastic, a little bit of slow-down really does not matter to me, to others it may. To put it simply because of the sheer size of the actual gameplay area and the quality of the scenery a little slow-down is to be expected. I recommend this game highly. Truly the only game you will ever need. This game is a must for all serious gamers. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!
