Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas brings back the incredible action of the hit game series. Carl Johnson left the San Andreas neighborhood of Los Santos five years ago, when it was being ripped apart by drugs and gang violence. When he returns in the early 90s, his mother has been killed, his family has fallen apart and his childhood friends are criminals. When crooked cops frame him for murder, he decides to save himself and his family by taking over the streets. Advanced role-playing elements -- Unlike previous GTA characters, Carl can swim and he needs to eat to survive Side missions help develop skills that come into play later -- from working out at the gym to gambling in a casino

Brand new and its a fun game!!!!

If you like GTA get this game very fun easy to play and tons of things to do. Camera was hard to get used to but besides that it was very good game!!! hope this helps!!!

Lack Luster

Its the same as Vice City.

Alot of bugs and glitches and very repetitive. Just get GTAIV.

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!!!
