Review by Simon on 26th June, 2008
5 stars "Expansive video game"

This game is an epic game.

The quality of the PC version is a lot better than that of of the console versions. I've been able to extend the gameplay life to several 1000 hours by playing the game with FREE modifications, one modification in particular is SA:MP (San Andreas Multiplayer).

If this game isn't already in your library then you're missing out!

5 stars "Best yet!"

Great game – much the same as the PS2 version, but if you have a good PC then you get a lot more draw distance, and other visual goodies.

You can also save your replays with the PC version, and send them to others – great for making stunt movies, which will surely flood the fan sites soon.

The game itself is brilliant – its what you expect after playing GTA Vice City, and more. Still the great humour that the other games are known for, a good choice of music stations, and 3 HUGE cities (and the areas between them). If you like to drive (in many vehicles, or motorbikes, or bicycles, or boats, helis, planes) then it is great – so many places to explore – the cities are as big as Vice City was (each), and there are a few small towns placed between them. Also a huge mountain that takes a bit of biking skill to get up, and other stuff I probably havent found yet.
The game will keep you hooked – so much stuff to do even if you are not doing the missions.

Overall San Andreas is a great successor to GTA-Vice City, and will be the game to measure all games of its type to.

5 stars "Pwnage"

This game was great on the PS2, as were the 2 before this. But for some reason i prefer the GTA games on PC, maybe its because I've playing them since GTA 1 with the birds eye view and the funny police heads for wanted stars.

Anyway, GTA SA on PC is 100% awesome because of the ability to have fun mucking around in the game, the ability to have fun on story missions and the ability to mod the game with new vehicle skins, weapon skins… blah blah blah lol.

I recommend this game to any body who like games that involve a bit of everything.

Great work again Rockstar, im looking forward to GTA 4!

Review by Nathan on 2nd February, 2006
4 stars "Very Good - But not for Children"

An exceptionally fun game, taking on mild RPG Elements into itself, and a new movable camera instead of Static Camera which was used in older games. Customization is also present with the ability to Buy new Clothes, haircuts, Mod your cars, and even get tatoos… As always Multiplayer is Completely gone from the PC version of this GTA game. This is NOT for Children! It features Crude Language, Rampant Violence, Drug Use, Prostitution and other Sexual acts (so do not buy it for young timmy, no mattter how much he might complain), earning it a deserved R18+. It did seem to bug a little on my computer when it rained, and cause me to need to load a save to get the sound working again, but this could be just a problem with my soundcard (Creative Souldblaster Pro). The Storyline behing the game was solid, fun, and involving. I bought this game from GPstore and there delivery time was good, if you are 18+ I Highly recommend this Title to your collection.

Review by Andrew on 29th March, 2009
5 stars "It has to be GTA"

this is a masterpiece of gaming, i have played all of the GTA games to date and this is by far the best, even surpassing GTA 4 in playability, i would suggest this game to anyone who enjoys good story lines, aswell as the ability to just run amuk and cause mayhem (within a game of course), If you are going to spend money on a GTA game, start with this

5 stars "Can't fit it all in one line!lol"

Mean as game, much much MUCH better than PS2 version, and you can download mods from the internet, which is awesome. Oh and a note to you people selling this- you might have a buyer wink wink

5 stars "Superb"

I have long loved this game – spent many hours playing and rate this game above GTA IV. San Andreas contains a lot of corny humour, random insults and comebacks. Even road rage is a helluva lot of fun. Nice big map with three cities as most people will know, lots of areas to explore, side games which I have never managed to complete even though I have clocked the main story line numerous times. Buy this game and laugh like crazy.

5 stars "The best in gaming yet."

From the time the controversial Grand Theft Auto first appeared, it has shocked gamers on all platforms with its ground-breaking gameplay which created its own genre. A lot can be said about this particular title, but the bottom line is that it is simply the best in the series.

5 stars "San Andreas Will ALWAYS be the best."

After playing Grand Theft Auto 1,2,3 and the Liberty City games this GTA is still the best. With the ability to roam everywhere and anywhere in style with your Mega Garage of cars you can choose from you are guaranteed to always ride in style. Also with cars in your garage you have the choice of also riding on ATV's, Planes, Jets, BMX's and if you feel like a dare devil you can parachute out of a plane. For guns you have a choice of AK-47's, rocket launchers, snipers, machine guns and still many more! Now this is just not a free for all game (although you can pretty much get away with anything) you do have missions. It is a long game-play story, a hell-load of fun you are guaranteed to always have fun.
5/5
