Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

THE BAD:
Nothing...except there are still some glithces and excessive corse language which may offend some people.

Some missions are also exceedingly difficult.

SUMMARY:
This game is a MUST BUY!!

If you thought Vice City was sweet, boy are you in for a suprise. People who have never played a GTA game before will be stoked and people who have will stare at their PS2 in amazement.

This is a massive step up from Vice City. You can do tricks on your bike, get a tatoo, get a haircut and much more.

If you are tossing up between this game and another, get San Andreas, no questions asked. This is THE best game of 2004.

I've only had it for a short while and only done a few missions, yet I am still stunned at what Rockstar have compiled for this installment of GTA.

In my life, at some time, I have played/rented/owned/bought every game in the GTA series [yes, going back to GTA 2] and without hesitation I can say this is the best of the series, I think I can comfortably say that this is the best game to hit the PS2, the map is huge, the graphics are awesom, I ask you: What more could you want in a game?

If you aren't playing the game right now, or if you don't ahve a copy.............what in blue hell are you waiting for? Go out and get it now, go on! You WILL NOT regret this purchase. I garan DAM tee it.


Copied from my GTA: San Andreas PS2 review.

THE BAD:
I am angry with the graphics. I was hoping to see something better or at least, an improvement.

This game is rated (18) and they expect adults who spend most of their time at work, to spend hours upon hours driving around the city to earn driving skills. I wouldn't mind that feature if i was a kid (but driving the car is not manageable at all, it leaves you feeling stupid).

The whole skill system, leaves you with nothing but anger and fury. It shows how stupid Rockstar can be to add RPG elements in a game rated (18). Come on!, Adults have lives and they cant put that much attention on a game for that long.

SUMMARY:
All in ALL!, I feel abit disappointed with GTA: San Andreas, not for the characters and actors in the game, but for the games RPG element. I am shocked to write a bad review for this game. This game has been known by many, for its good driving system and Storyline, but at the very start of the game, you are left with nothing but a stupid character that doesn't know how to ride a bike, doesn't know how to run, doesn't know how to drive, doesn't have self esteem. Its a shame that they've made the character so stupid and very ill (not cool).

Sure its a good game, but what are we to enjoy in a game that expects you to earn your entertainment, after spending so much??

The entertaining features should be present in the game at the very start. Should players not start with simple missions from which skills can be learnt, rather than driving around san andreas, just to earn driving points that will take 30 minutes or so to happen??

The good looking cars are WACK!! They cant be driven, too hard to control because the greater the speed, the harder it becomes to handle. This only means you have to drive slowly in missions that require you to chase after gangs.

The eating feature is good, but was that really, i mean seriously, necessary??? I need to tell them what they forgot about. Tommy Vercedi had charisma and at any part of the game, he was a proud man and was willing to take the challenge.

Dudes, Rockstar has spoilt a game that would have been better without the RPG element. They are forgetting that not many people like RPGs. Very few people do and most of them are Teens (12-17).

Rockstar, i have bought your game, but i kindly ask that you remove this RPG element from your upcoming games, cos it will provide terrible reviews like this one. As far as i am concerned, I will buy an additional AR system to go with this game, Since Rockstar insists that we use cheats.

I recommend you buy it if you are an RPG fan and also, if you have nothing else to do with your time. I got it for £39.99 and i am not too happy about it.

RPG fans: 4.5/5
Non RPG Fans: 3/5

Please people, get yourselves GTA: San andreas, it is obviously a good game and all i have stated above can not be seen in the game. It is a great game.
