GTA newbie I found a new copy of this at my local retailer for $10 and decided to pick it up. I had played Vice City and GTA III a couple of times on my friend's systems and consoles. In San Andreas, missions are fun, but sometimes they seem unnecessary and tedious. Other drivers seem to hit you and swerve into your path unnecessarily, but that's why you have a gun. The free roaming aspect is as nice as ever, but the cop AI is hit or miss. The mouse control is so much sweeter than analog sticks for aiming. The relatively few types of people get repetitive, and draw distance is too short even at maximum.
A couple of points: This game will tax a fairly nice modern system at 1080i resolution with all effects enabled, but 720p or lower is piece of cake. This game DOES RUN on Windows XP PRO 64-bit! This is a big deal, even Apple no longer supports xp64 with iTunes.
This game is a steal at its current price, and it will help tide me over while I wait for 4 to hit PC.
If it ain't broke, don't break it! I've been a fan of the franchise, having enjoyed GTA 3 and Vice City. But I just couldn't get into San Andreas. The altered aiming/driving controls took the joy out of the game for me. I even picked up a game controller to try to make it more playable: it helped, but not enough. I can't comment on the game as a whole, because I bailed after a handful of missions. The San Andreas map is too big for me to bother fumbling through it with these annoying controls.
+++cool game, but violent+++ It is a nice game, you can do whatever you want, but it is somethimes too violent, because you can do whatever you want. It is no game for younger gamers and it is for a reason 17 rated. But at all- super game!!!
Great game, requires powerful machine. I always wanted to play a GTA from start to end, but using cheats always spoiled the fun for me. This was the first time I promised myself to play it honestly and never use a single cheat, and so far has really worked; as for the hot coffee mod, I really don't get turned on by pixelated mini-sex games and I wanted the latest version of it, so I got 2.0. As for the game, I knew GTA IV is coming (Or is it the V?) but is going to be a while until it reaches the pc. If you want to play GTA: San Andreas you'll need a powerful machine. I have a pavilion laptop with 2MB SDRAM, and 500+ shared video memory and an Nvidia video card and still sometimes it still runs alow, but most of the time is as smooth as silk. Sometimes I get frustrated with the controls, I recommend an analog gamepad, but I use my keyboard, the mousepad-thingy of the laptop and a 14-button gamepad and I generally use the gamepad for driving, walking and the auto-aim for shooting, when it gets to using precise weapons like the rocket launcher or the siper rifle, I use the mouse. It is a really fun game and -in the game- I'm always busy doing something, from completing a drive-sneak in-shoot-drive and shoot-run from the cops mission to playin billiards against the computer. If you like need for speed, the sims and any shoot 'em up, this game is for you. If you're looking for a three-hour gameplay game, this is certainly not for you.
Love it. Personally, I don't care what the facists say about this game. Like ti or not, in my opinion, this is the best game out of all gta classics out there overall.
