Amazon.co.uk Review
Considering how massively popular the last two GTA games were Rockstar could've knocked out any old rubbish as their last GTA game this generation, but despite Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas not being a full sequel (it still uses essentially the same graphics engine as GTA III) it has more new features and ideas than the majority of official follow-ups. For a start San Andreas itself is not a city but a whole fictional county, containing the San Francisco-esque San Fierro, the Las Vegas style Las Venturra and the Los Angeles inspired Los Santos. You can drive anywhere else you like in the countryside, between making the game four to six times the size of Vice City. You can also now start up your own gang in the game, recruiting members and claiming territory--you can even build and operate your own casino once you get the necessary moolah. You can't just sit around and wait for the money to roll in, though--eat too much junk food and your character will grow fat and have to work out at a gym, as well as keep an eye on a new stamina meter. The list of other additions and refinements are almost endless; above and beyond the usual claims of an improved aiming system for weapons you can now swim, ride bicycles, get your hair cut, take part in random break-ins and robberies... pretty much anything you were ever told not to do as a kid (except the getting a haircut bit). --David Jenkins

 Great.... but April 27, 2008
Mr. D. L. Thomas (UK Wales)
I had this when it came out for PC.
First of all. If you like GTA games, this one is sooooo so so so much fun to play. The sheer scale of the map will keep you occupied for a long time and the variety of environments, people and style will keep the whole thing interesting.
The missions are okay. I found some of them very tedious, but never the less got through them.
There is a but however and its a very big but. The black gangster culture is way too overpowering throughout. If your into that sort of thing its fine, but if not it does get extremely annoying!

So from what I see people like this p.c version of G.T.A sa
But I thought people might want know that the p.c version is so much better than the ps2 one. One thing I like is the mods you can download my favourite being the cars! Another thing is it's so easy to aim with the mouse which makes it better but I do sometimes struggle driving so I have just bought a ps2 controller link thing which makes it easier to drive.
Overall a brill game I'd say BUY IT NOW!
A landmark game. November 26, 2007

No doubt in 10 years or so I will be mocked for saying this, but it is hard for me to imagine in my lifetime games getting any better than San Andreas. No other game is as non-linear, as open-ended, as polished, as immaculately produced as GTA:SA. It sets a benchmark WAY beyond any game that has come before. The atmosphere created by the movie-quality voice acting, the camera direction, the awesome soundtracks, the A-List voice actors, the humor, the storyline and the immense playing field and variation has not been matched by any game, past or present. The PC game market is dominated by endless similar First Person Shooters. I am sick of them. They are contrived, clichéd and formulaic. I don't care whether it's Half Life 2 or Call of Duty 4 or any other highly ranked PC game. They all follow the same FPS production rules and I tire of them easily. With San Andreas, months of my life were swallowed up in pursuit of playing the finest game ever to surface. I'm not really a big gamer. I get bored with the same old, same old but I found GTA:SA jaw-dropping. I was fixated, engrossed and utterly addicted. I can't heap enough praise onto SA for it blew me away in terms of it's sheer size and inspired production. I was sucked in, hook, line and sinker into the world of SA. It's better than movies, soap operas, television and other, lesser games. It's the finest game ever produced. Buy it and shelve the next 3 months of your life. You won't regret it.
An AMAZING Game July 9, 2007

When Grand Theft Auto III was launched, it took gamers by surprise. It was such a massive step up from the previous GTAs on the PS1. Then Grand Theft Auto Vice City was launched and it was even better. So, when I heard that GTA San Andreas was being launched, I knew I had to get it.
It is a supurb game, the biggest GTA yet. You never run out of things to do as there are pleanty of side missions as well as the main storyline. It is a game that I would never dream of ever getting rid of.
Gameplay-5/5
Graphics-4/5
Soundtrack-5/5
Missions-4/5
Weapons-5/5
Vehicles-5/5
overall-5/5

Want your kids to turn out well? ... Allow them to play this. We all know kids play 18-rated games.
All that aside, just driving the cars around the cities makes for an addictive experience nonetheless! :P
