Acrylic Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: Reviewed Daaaaaamnnnnn.... ...I'm going to have to get it.
IG-64 Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 IGN seems to be slipping, either that or this really is the best PS2 game ever. I'd have to judge for myself >.> *slips off to blockbuster* XD
El Sitherino Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 niiiice. *wants to go out and rent it to check it out*
coupes. Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 Yeah, I read the whole thing last night... it's a shame I don't have a ps2, I really enjoyed the series... I'll have to play on my borother's PS2 until it's out for PC.
Mex Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 If they had not of been bribed, I'm sure it would of gotten lower. Edit : Look at the hands of the characters! They're solid blocks like in Vice City!
toms Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 Originally posted by Lightsaberboy it's more better on PC no it aint. They upped the polly counts and added new effects for the xbox version. It is a definate improvement over both the ps2 & pc versions... not to mention that the coding of the PC port was VERY sloppy. I guess if you had a monster PC it was ok (and it will probably run fine today) but you'd still get better graphics on the xbox. off to read review.... (though i'm currently playing GTA3 and have Vice City waiting once i finish, so i don't need it just yet and can wait for the xbox version...)
Nerd_Annhilator Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 I like the controls the best for PC, so I'll get it for PC.
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 Gamespot have a review too. They give it 9.6 : Click me!

Anyway i like the thing that if you dont move your character will get fat and all that things that give the game a little of rpg.
Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 my store sold out the first day, and now we have to wait another week to get another batch oh well, I won't be getting it right away anyway... Might just get it on sale for xmas Looks like it rocks out though....

Yes it is, GTA: San Andreas is better on PC, customizable resolution, modify it, Xbox suks because it copies all the other system games(only Halo is Xboxs trademark) and MIcrosoft wanted to join the fun and try to make lots of money and what not:p
MTV2 Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 My birthdays on November 7! I should get gta:san andreas and then halo:D I feel so happy
swphreak Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 If EBgames will ship the dang thing tomorrow, I have a chance of getting it friday... I WANT IT NOW!
KBell Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 I have it, and I must say that it r0xX3rz my b0xX3rz
Surfnshannon Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 is it as glitchy as VC because I can not pass one level very early in the game because of the way the it is. I swear...if someone passed it they were damn lucky... So basically....gun control and the ability to effectively control the weapon without it sucking from jerkyness.. and no....its not me without the steady hand
acdcfanbill Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 i really hate the new rpg elements they added. it should be an option to turn on or off. everything i love gets ruined
toms Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Originally posted by MTV2 Yes it is, GTA: San Andreas is better on PC, customizable resolution, modify it, Xbox suks because it copies all the other system games(only Halo is Xboxs trademark) and MIcrosoft wanted to join the fun and try to make lots of money and what not:p Just cos xbox sucks doesn't mean the xbox version of the first two gta games isn't the best out there. Ok, you may be in a lower resolution than the PC version, but the graphics are much better (new lighting effects, high polygon models, etc..), the framerate is smoother and the car controls are better. I will admit that the on foot controls are better on the PC though, but this isn't really a huge factor. As for GTS:SA, who knows what will be the best version.... probably the one that gets released last. PS/ I have a 2nd hand modded xbox that i use mainly as a video/audio jukebox... so microsoft isn't making anything off me. So you don't have to go off on another anti-ms, anti x-box rant... ---------------- As for the game, it seems most people love it, but a few hate the fact they are forced to go through the RPG missions to unlock all the content, as they really just want to roam around freely and have fun.
Astrotoy7 Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 played it....dont see what the big deal is.......sure its fun for a while, like a gorgeous but stupid girlfriend, but c'mon.... the sparkle will fade soon enough *c'mon KOTOR2!* mtfbwya
swphreak Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 I like the Double Pack for XBox than the PS2 version. Graphics somewhat better, and polished. And EBGames have still not shipped my game!
TiE23 Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 I saw the Double Pack at Target for $25. And saw the strategy guide for Andreas, ITS LIKE 300 PAGES LONG! Its as big as the big Morrowind S-guide TiE
Acrylic Posted October 28, 2004 Author Posted October 28, 2004 Well, I had the Xbox DP, but sold it. It's at Gamestop for $20, and I got it today, it was tempting. I didnt finish either game yet, so I figure I wanted em.
Surfnshannon Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 I rented it today, probably won't play it till I get off work.... Tell ya how it is once I play it. Hollywood Video has it Guarenteed in stock or you get to rent it free the next time....hint hint.
