This game isn't that great. Graphics are pretty nice for their time period, but game play is slow. Also, the "gangster" voice-acting is overdone, they curse and say stereotypical phrases in every sentence.
You have to learn how to play on your own because instead of a manual, they give you a map and "advertisements" in "San Andreas." The menus are not very organized.
The game, however, will last a very long time because you can go onto killing sprees, grand theft auto, and just play around, exploring the expansive and very open world of San Andreas.

I am a big fan of the Grand Theft Auto series. In my opinion, of the games released so far, this was most enjoyable for me, however I was not a fan of the storyline. I think it was underdeveloped, lacked thought processing, and as far as the storyline goes, i would say this is close to the bottom of my list. Nevertheless, there is a great variety of weapons, vehicles, characters, and body functions, that until this game were not possible. Very addicting, but in a good way, I could not put down the controller once I started playing. I would recommend using cheats in this game to see its full potential. I would definitely recommend this game, despite the poor storyline.

I liked this game it was very fun and you can pick where you go and what you do. It's not like most games where they automatically take you to the mission you can drive around and go where ever you want.
It had good graphics too. Has a great story line. Never gets old cause there's always something new happening.
If you like shooting games buy this!
It's not a waste of money!

This was easily the best game in the series imo. Don't buy it for your kids though... Just don't.
Where should I start? The only thing that was not improved in this one was the graphics. I'm sure we've all read about all of the new abilities like swimming, climbing fences, sculpting your character, etc. Some of these were long overdue, but RS delivered with San Andreas. Since I probably don't have space here to go on and on about all of the things that make this game the greatest game created at the time of it's release, let me just say this. I pre-ordered it and beat it a long time ago. Since then I have given away my ps2 and now have the ps3. I've not played this in over a year, it's been too long, and I will pick up another copy tomorrow evening because it is classic and a must have for any adult gamer.
Aside from graphics, I seriously doubt that GTA4 can be any better than this.

Best GTA game to date

Best GTA game in the series due to the capabilities added to the character. In this game you have a better combat system, more athletic abilities like climbing over fences, and you can swim in this one. The environment is huge about 4 times the size of the previous GTA. My only complaint is that i didnt like the story because i didnt like the main character CJ. The main character youre playing as is a gang member out of jail. Unlike the previous ones, where youre just a guy trying to make it in the world, and is thrown into this. I also didnt like the whole tagging other gangs graffitti, i guess i just didnt like the protagonist story. The next one looks great though, part 4 looks like some former hitman just trying to get back on his feet and live a normal life until hes pulled back into the scene.

GTA: Overdone...

I was a fan of the previously released GTA's, but I really can't get into this one much. It doesn't have the same in depth feel as the others. I have more fun just going on killing sprees than advancing in the game. You are just thrown into a poorly created story that doesn't develop throughout the game. You drive, you kill, you drive some more and then you get arrested. That sums it up.
Not really any worth-while improvements on the game. There is the ability to date, "tag" buildings and amp up your body, but these are just pointless features that add no real value to the game. The most shocking thing about it was the sub-par radio selection, this was just unacceptable from a GTA game! I was pretty disappointed with this new release, I wouldn't recommend it to GTA fans.

great game, the best GTA game

i have played gta 3,4, and 5. in my opinion this is the best one due to enjoyable gameplay and customization options. the newest gta is ok, but besides the graphical and pyshic improvements the game is not nearly as fun to play as san andreas.
the map is big, there are pleny of things to do and some of the cars are fun to drive (i like the monster truck myself) and as always there are 100;s of cheats that change the time of day, weather, cars, and other elements of the game for when or if you get a little bored or just want to play it for a few minutes and do something different (i dont save after cheats due to possible save file corruption which has happened once before and most cheat sites will warn you of the same thing) the game over all is great..though i wish rockstar would make a different game similar to GTA but instead make it survival horror in a city full of zombies...would be very fun. i know that had nothing to do with san andreas so back to the point.
the game features plenty of customization options including the way you look (fat, muscular, skinny) clothes, car customization and it introduces dates which is easier to deal with in this game rather than gta 5.
overall the game is great, has some variety when going to a new island/part of the map, though the back country can be a little lacking when having to explore or travel.
the game is great, if you havent played it but like the other gta games, this is a must own.
