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

gta san andreas has been so far the best gta game and most probably the last to be on the ps2 with the ability to travel across the state of san andreas by car boats plains and other verchles this is a great free roam game. Looking back at the game now i have to admit the graffics do look a bit tatty but with a great story line and pleanty of small missions to this game is great. pleanty of missions perfect for hardcore gamers this game you could play over and over again.
This game is mindblowing September 5, 2007

I must say that i dont know why this game has negative reviews because these people are crazy. This game is so amazing. Theres just so much to do. I have gone through the whole storyline of the game 3 times already and the game will never lose its replayability value. Over 100 missions, huge map and environment, Bunch loads of vehicles, good weapons, side missions (for once in GTA, your money can be used for something other than in GTA 3) multiplayer aswell, and finally, you can interact with other people on the street.
But need i say, the graphics arent the strong point of the game. As in the game, when you are going fast, it sometimes takes very long to load up the full detail of the environments and sometimes it looks like you are floating but it loads up pretty soon. Also, the game has bugs but not as much as other GTA's. But if you are soo hooked into the game, you will not notice the graphics or bugs.
If you are looking for a sensational 1 player experience, pick this up NOW!!. The multiplayer is very very limited so its best to play one player. if you want a game where you will roam the streets for hours on end, whether your gaining muscle, taking your girlfriend out to eat, burgling a house at night, training for a triathlon or even just going around killing people and being chased by police, this is definately the game for you. In fact, i would recommend this game to anyone apart from those protestors who want to get rid of violence and those stuck up people. At this price, it is almost disposable only putting a little strain on your pocket.
THE BIGGEST GAME ON PS2 August 13, 2007

What a blast ! I am one of these gamers that never finishes any games at all but has a go at everything that is new and sounds somewhat interesting, just to lose interest after a couple of days, if not after hours already. The only exception so far was Vice City which still rotates in the good old PS2 from time to time... And now San Andreas is out...Finally ! I've spent more hours on a bicycle or in the gym, than I probably have done in real life in the past couple of years together. I've been betting on horse races, pool games and low rider competitions. I've seen things I thought would never happen in a game and I have only finished 10% of the game, 20 days passed in the game. I wont spoil plot details but will rant on a bit about the things I've seen so far.
Bad things first : - The music stations suck. There are a few good songs only, in my opinion, but solely the fact that the variety is massive, is already a good thing again. - The graphic is bad. Or better the glitches that happen. Half a cop stuck in the asphalt, leaving the gym in Canton and falling through a blue background for seconds before finally being "down to earth again" , the garage in the Johnson house lifting you up as well when the door opens and and and and and ... But the positive sides to this game make up for it And that were the only things that I would say are negative. This time around you can swim, ride bicycles, heck I've even driven a train already, on top of the usual walk, or drive cars and ride motor bikes. You exercise and like in a RPG game built up your characters abilities and appearance. Your lung capacity increases the more often you swim and dive ( while trying to find hidden oysters for example ) you run in order to increase your stamina, which makes you run longer . You workout in the gym to increase your fitness level and appearance which seems to have to have an impact on your respect and sex appeal ( respect later on lets you recruit own gang members , sex appeal helps you with the ladies ) . Exercising increases your maximum health on top of it. You get tattoos, haircuts and shaves, go shopping for clothes and bling. While working out , you can also decide to learn new fighting skills. You eat in order to fill up your health, so far I've seen four different kinds of fast food restaurants, but too much food with no workout lets you get fat. I've only been around Los Santos so far, the rest is still inaccessible, and from what I've seen there already, this is the biggest game ever. The city is busy with people talking to you, making comments about your looks. Gang members from other gangs slag you off or start firing at you whenever you cruise around in their territory. Appearantly you are able to talk back to people which only seems to work occasionally. The traffic seems to follow a "rush hour" system like in real life, busier then. You gotta watch out, especially on highways as the good old, "juststandinginfrontofacartomakeitstop" doesn't really work any more and you get run over easily. Accidents happen , sometimes massive ones, so you're not really safe on the streets. Cops chase around other criminals and are much more alert. Once for example I've head on cop on a motorbike ( yeah !!!! ) stop in front of a car that I was just standing next to, probably checking if I was about to jack it. There's different sort of planes and helicopters flying over the city and believe it or not : I've seen a plane crash into the city already causing massive damage to cars. I've been riding a train and seen some drivers crash into trains as well.
You can go and break into houses, go dancing, gamble on horse races. Your general skills in utilizing rides and weapons improve as well over the time, depending on how often you use them.Stealth kills are possible as well this time around. There is a bar where you can play pool for money ( though I have to wonder why it only worked in the beginning and every time I go back now I can't any longer ?!?! )and there's even videogames. Some shops and buildings have vending machines for snacks and soda, that also help to fill up your energy meter... There's far more to it on new things than the ones I mentioned and I can't wait to ge deeper into the game... The good old pay and spray is back, I've seen one AmmuNation shop but not accessible so no idea where to get guns from ( apart from one guy that keeps a pistol for you ) , the hidden statues thing exists but in a different way , so far though I have not figured out what you get for that...
I reckon it's a safe bet to say that if you liked Vice City you will be more than pleased with this one....
A 10 out of 10 !!!
