THE GOOD:
Range of weapons
completely customisable character, clothes, hair, tattoos etc
loads of cars
huge map
good storyline
loads of diverse and enjoyable missions
excellent sound track
excellent voice acting
loads of humour
will take ages to complete

THE BAD:
Some annoying glitches, i.e, stops you from working out in the gym after a certain amount of time.
Game can seem too big at times and overwhelming
The whole hip hop gangsta theme is not everybody's cup of tea and it's hard to escape from that in the story missions.
Sometime the fade-in of objects is too slow, especially noticeable when driving at speed.

SUMMARY:
This game is brilliant. The map is breathtaking. There is so much to do. It would literally take weeks of playing to complete everything in this game and see everything it has to offer.
This game has something for everyone, although it's not for kids!

- Lasting Appeal
- Gameplay
- Huge Map
- Variety of Clothing
- Great Soundtrack
- You can swim!
- Wide selection of weapons and cars

THE BAD:

- Graphics
- Glitches at its worst
- Some missions/challenges are very hard

SUMMARY:
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for the PS2 is simply the best game I have ever played on the PS2. Everything about it is superb and nicely done. Mainly everything is good in this game, with the odd couple of exceptions. Glitches are, I am sorry to say, at its worst. It can cause a major problem during storyline missions and I being a person who hates glitches, was very annoyed. Graphics are not bad, but they could have been improved.

You won't take any notice of the graphics that much, though, because the gameplay is...

THE GOOD:
- HUGE map: this map is absolutely HUGE. Even if you finish the game, you will still have at least one area that you have not fully been to/covered.
- Weapons: these weapons are total badasses, there are lots of them - and to name a few are: Silenced Pistol, AK-47, M4, knifes and katanas, Tec 9, Rocket Launcher and even a Minigun.
- You can mod your vehicles - that's right, you can now mod your ride and put in various paintjobs, nitro and many more things.
- Vehicles: these vehicles are amazing. There are lots of them, with there own style.
- No long load times between each island.
- A great 90's soundtrack which will keep entertained.
- Clothing: unlike previous GTA games, you can now wear WHATEVER you want and select from a wide range of clothing.
- Storyline: the storyline is very interesting as well as most of the other characters whom you meet.
- New features are built in like swimming, parachuting and much...

THE GOOD:
Huge environment, lots of extras. Good story line.

THE BAD:
Bad traffic glitches. Bad aiming system.

SUMMARY:
You play as Carl Johnson, going back to the hood for your mothers funeral. As you try to avoid getting back into criminal life, too many problems show up. You do a lot of missions, and move from Los Santos to San Fierro. Then to Los Venturas. The environments are pretty good. You'll find yourself just driving around at 100mph for the fun of it. The aiming system is a lock on aim. So you get instant shots at people. I would have liked to see manual aiming, or at least a switch from auto aim to manual aimer option. You have many little extras to keep you entertained. You can go to the gym and bulk up on muscle, go the the burger shop and fatten up. Go to casinos and gamble your money, and play arcade machines. Burgle houses. Take over hoods. Buy houses, get girlfriends. And many many more extras. It's a very fun game to spent...

THE GOOD:
Completely detailed customization, tons of weapons, good targeting system, a nice 90's soundtrack featuring over 100 songs, the list goes on and on...

THE BAD:
Street Racing missions suck on this game.

SUMMARY:
This game has caught a lot of attention from the media. The explicit f-word language, the strip clubs, prostitution, brutal violence, drug usage, bad cops, and innapropriate/dark humor. But, despite all the controversy, this game is EXCELLENT. Where do I begin? It's like having your own gangsta virtual pet. You can dress him up, feed him, work out, and recruit your own gang members. The weapon system is incredible. The soundtrack is superb. Newer weapons make for more brutal deaths. Good graphics. Huge cities. Get a girlfriend, take her on dates, and HAVE YOUR WAY WITH HER. Steal cars, trucks, suvs, motorcycles, even dunebuggies and AIRPLANES. Swim, Run, and Ride your way to the local tattoo parlor and get a tattoo. Complete...

THE GOOD:
Where do I start? This game is probably the greatest I have played in my video gaming life. Lets start of with the variety of things to do. The game play and free roam. It has everything in it. From base jumping to exploring, from transport to side-missions... it's all in here. Most people (including me) still play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, even though we have had it since it came out. This just proves that we cannot get enough of this superb game. You will not be bored of this game as it has anything you can imagine. When I first opened up the map, I was in brilliant awe when I realized the sheer size of it. I guessed that each city would be the size of Vice City altogether, so I was fascinated by the game although I had just opened the cover. Also, the lasting appeal is incredible, I've STILL not completed the whole game 100% and I have had it for a long time. This game is enough to keep you going through your gaming YEARS. The side-missions are packed...

THE GOOD:
-Huge Map.
-Awesome Vehicales.
-Nice Guns.
-Good Gang Useage.
-Big Variaty Of Clothing To Choice From.
-Lots Of Stuff To Do After You Beat The Game.

THE BAD:
-Still Lot's Of Glitches.
-Not A Very Good Soundtrack.
-Still Bad Graphics.



SUMMARY:
Well there numerous good things about San Andreas, you get to travel the huge map. The vehicles you get to travel through the map with are awesome. There's lots of guns to cause mayhem with. You get to control your gang and to fight other gangs for territory. There are lots of clothing you can purchase to make CJ look just the way you want. Once you beat the game there is still lots of things to do. Moving on to the bad things about San Andreas. There still are multiple annoying glitches, for example when you go to pick up your girlfriend they'll come running out of there house but might hit something, and keep running into it for about 10 seconds then...

THE GOOD:
Great storyline
Great characters
Famous names among the cast list
Striking resemblances to real cities
Huge terrain area
Only loading is when entering a building
At last, you can swim!

THE BAD:
Storyline can be predictable at times
Never lived up to all the hype
Many good features that were expected to be in here were cut out
You can no longer steer with the arrow buttons
Some missions can be very challenging and tiresome

SUMMARY:
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was the most awaited game of the whole series. maybe even of all the games ever released. The storyline is excellent, however predictable. A young OG returns to his hood, to find his family and his gang have fallen into disarray. His friends that he once rolled with are all heading for disaster.

GAMEPLAY

The guys at Rockstar really out-done themselves when it comes to authenticity in this game. Not always in a good way though, as when...

Written by garion_chaffe05 England
THE GOOD:
Everything

THE BAD:
Nothing...

SUMMARY:
The game that was easily the most awaited of the year and which now sits with the honour of being one of the best games ever played.
As CJ a young 'gangsta' returns from Liberty City to attend his Mom's funeral, you end up being framed for the murder of a Police Officer by three bent cops, this spirals out of control and is the long term cause that forces CJ to traipse across the State of San Andreas for some new and familiar faces.
You start of in Los Santos (Los Angeles) where you complete missions to help bring the Grove Street Gang back to life after most of the members are now just pathetic addicts, you must kill dealers, kill enemy gangs and frankly whoever you want with your brother Sweet and your friends Ryder and Big Smoke. Along with that you complete favours for people like 'OG Loc' and other 'hardcore gangstas' which is fun. In between this you can do the traditional free...

THE GOOD:
Where do I start??
A whole state to explore.
RPG Elements.
The voice acting is extremely good and the music is brilliant.
Many vehicles, and some fun new ones!
The state of San Andreas is widely varied.
Excellent storyline.

THE BAD:
I am talking very minor faults here:
Maybe too much swearing for some.
An 18 Rating is very strict! (Play Manhunt and you'll see what I mean.)
A few minor glitches.
The graphics need a little improvement.

SUMMARY:
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is one of the most eagerly anticipated games ever, and Rockstar have delivered yet another masterpiece. Forgetting the normal trend, even in the second mission, you get thrown straight into the action with the Ballas gang chasing you trying to execute a drive-by while you are on your bike.

CJ's image can be transformed, from a scrawny, poorly dressed man, to a muscly "don't mess...
