    TXT BIN Spot on comment. Still looks good. I play Grand Theft Auto 3 on the PC and once I finish that its onto GTA Vice City and then San Andreas.

    This was more of a comparison video than a review but yet covered the key points to basically sum up that San Andreas rocks!

    ah damn I would have loved for san andreas to have gta IV's graphics and physics engine.
    I like gta IV but not for it's story but for how fun it is to randomly kill people or drive over them to watch the amazing euphoria engine workout how the people react.
    San Andreas had a lot more humor in it than GTA IV which was way too serious.
    SA did have more variaty in the missions too and there you could actually buy stuff with your money and you had a lot more customisation options.
    All in all I prefer SA over IV

    Whithout a doubt, best game ever made.

    Best game ever made. San Andreas 2 would be the best selling game in history.

    @JimmeCata: How? With a keyboard. Literally just walk around somewhere, then type the word on the keyboard.

    How do you enter cheat codes for the PC? All it says on any websites is "enter during gameplay", but it doesn't even tell you how.

    I was thinking the same thing as tbonez actually while I was watching the review. one wouldve thought he would talk about the game instead of how it runs on different systems. aweful review

    I used to play this game a lot, it was the first GTA I bought (not the first I played), its one of the best games for PS2 (along with Vice City)

    Vice City for the music- but then, on PC, that's what the 12th radio station is for - all those great tunes ripped out the GTA VC audio and plugged into you GTA SA!!

  • Terrorraid

    Posted Apr 8, 2009 9:51 pm PT

    id still vote Vice city as the best GTA

  • razor0202

    Posted Mar 20, 2009 10:02 pm PT

    TOTALLY agree with sanandreas12345 and Humorguy_basic.
    This is without doubt the best game ever made. So much more to offer then GTA IV. Especially the enormous area to explore and all. You just can't stop playing!

  • Chirodip_08

    Posted Mar 12, 2009 4:42 am PT

    This is one game you can play over and over again.I still think it is overall better than GTA IV.Plenty to offer,and lots of memories will fill you once you finish this game.

    This game is the best GTA game ever made!!!! The overall game-play is much better than GTA IV and no other game compares to this one.

    One game you could play forthe rest of your life! You will never see another game like this in the rest of your life too!

    i love this game, imo it's the best in the series by far. It's such a shame that they didn't include the same features from san andreas in gta 4. after playing san andreas, with its huge freedom and char customization, gta4 just feels like a big slide backwards. gta 4 is good, don't get me wrong, it just could have been a whole lot better if they moved forwards from san andreas as opposed to taking all the good stuff away. :}

    @ TBONZEZ: You moron! He said in the beginning that he was going to talk about the differences between the two. He talks about the game proper in the ps2.

    It would have been nice to actually have him REVIEW the game rather than how the sound worked on a bunch of test machines. Who really cares about that, the review should be about THE GAME not about how it runs. If the specs are followed the customer can get his/her machine to run it. I want to know about THE GAME FEATURES AND PLAYABILITY, dissapointing review.
