Customer Reviews

Simply Beautiful
I love this game. It had been consuming my life for almost 3 weeks until I completed all the missions which were all fun. The only thing that the game should have incorporated was a chapter selection. There are a couple of missions which I could do over and over again. Besides that you can do whatever the hell you want whenever you want. I love the wide selection of planes. And by the way for all those who don't know how to fly the Hydra, after you get into rise to a safe altittude and then push forward on the right analog stick for it to fly normally and just hold it back to go into vertical mode. Buy this game now even though its been out for quite a while

An Epic Masterpiece
The player gets the PROFOUND feeling that they have been tranposrted to a real living breathing early 90s California (and Vegas) world. A world full of opportunity, music, humor, and danger. It feels so real sometimes that you'd swear that unknown, possibly dangerous, activities are taking place all around you whether you're playing on that street or twenty blocks away. No other game has ever been this ambitious and this successful at reaching it's goals. Halo, for example, is a child's tinker toy compared to this.

One of the best PS2 games ever
GTA: San Andreas truely is wonderful. When I got the game I couldn't stop playing it. The "sandbox" do whatever you want style is wonderful. Missions in San Andreas are for the first time ever in the GTA universe FUN!!!!!! I enjoyed most (even though some are stupidly hard). Another great thing about the game is it has something for all types of gamers. Those who want to get everything and beat the game one hundred percent and those who just want to pick the game up for a few minutes and have fun. The controls are vastly improved upon than that of the the other two 3D GTAs with the abiltity to not "auto aim" being a welcome addition. The language is sometimes over the top vulger and I would not recomend it to other children out there as it is a very adult game. GET IT YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!
