Future Gamez
The story in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is wonderfully presented and superbly put together. Five years ago Carl Johnson escaped from the pressures of life in Los Santos, San Andreas... a city tearing itself apart with gang trouble, drugs and

Calling this game huge is an understatement...All told, San Andreas is about four times the size of any previous GTA game.

San Andreas' greatest success is that it gives us more space for our imaginations than most other games do, and ties together the edges neatly with a well-crafted story and missions, adding up to a whole that few games can compare to.

3D Avenue
San Andreas is set in the 90's where gang warfare is rife. You play as Carl Johnson, affectionately known as CJ amongst his hood. The game begins with CJ returning from Liberty City upon hearing his mother has been murdered and the city of Los Santos is

The second you start playing this game you realise that the latest Rockstar title is about a hundred times more complex than its predecessors. Not only is there a load of new weapons, cars and a huge new environment available, but the gaming experience

The amount of attributes that you can actually improve is staggering. CJ must learn how to drive, shoot, swim, workout, be healthy, sprint and participate in relationships.

My Gamer
The amount of things to do in the cities of Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas is absolutely staggering... In my opinion there’s no excuse to not have a “save anywhere” feature included.

Five years ago Carl Johnson escaped from the pressures of life in Los Santos, San Andreas... a city tearing itself apart with gang trouble, drugs and corruption. Where filmstars and millionaires do their best to avoid the dealers and gangbangers. Now,

My biggest beef with San Andreas is the implementation of the gang warfare system...It takes away a certain element that was found in the earlier games, that of the feeling that you were running an entire city.

Obviously, it's a great game. An instant classic. But you already knew that before you even started reading this review, didn't you? Hell, it was a given before the twelve-millionth copy of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was sold. Still, I'll try and

But there’s more to be had in this game. More of what, you ask? Well…everything. Was Vice City too small for you? How would you rather rampage across a whole state? Are three big cities, lots of smaller towns, and the countryside surrounding each

The game’s targeting system has been improved and is very reminiscent of the developer’s "Manhunt," which overall makes it more cohesive. The game allows you to get better with guns and you’ll have different phases, which will give you more control

Next Level Gaming
Without a doubt the greatest game every created on the Playstation 2 videogame system. It is the best hands-down. No other game can come even close to this one...The possibilities of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas are endless.

As it stands at the beginning of writing this review, my CJ is losing muscle mass because he was so ripped from working out that he ran slowly, so he’s on a starvation diet. He has blond cornrows, tattoos all over, an outfit from the Zip, and a silver

Within the time that has passed since the release of Vice City, Rockstar North has taken virtually everything you know about the series, and expanded on it in every way possible. You want big? You got it. San Andreas is a state, made up of three cities

When things are all said and done, 2004 may end up being the biggest year for gaming in a long time. It’s not because there have been more games than usual, or even more hype than usual (which after Halo 2, seems a bit understated). 2004 seems to be

Surprisingly easy to pick up, and startlingly difficult to master, San Andreas offers the most complete gaming package ever made on the current generation of consoles.

San Andreas puts you in the shoes of Carl “CJ” Johnson. It’s 1992 and you’re in the fictional state of San Andreas. CJ is back in Los Santos (the first of 3 cities available throughout the game), San Andreas after 5 years in Liberty City. His

Holy f***ing s***. (Sorry...I'm swearing a lot more now because of San Andreas.) I can't wrap my head around how much stuff is packed into this one disc. It's grand, it's ambitious, and funny as this may sound, it's legendary.

to the experience, I can't possibly describe them all here, but I will attempt to outline what makes San Andreas such a significant game. Based on my progress for the OPM exclusive, you could extrapolate that it would take about 72 hours to score 100 perc

head around Vice City's mind-boggling scope was tough enough. Well, I was wrong. Blessedly so. GTA: San Andreas isn't just much bigger than the previous genre-busting, generation-defining games that have gone on to become two of the PlayStation 2's top-s

as making the title easier but to me it felt more of an open invitation to play about and explore the streets to the fullest. Granted, the huge map can often feel a little too big, especially when you're required to traverse vast sections of countryside r
