I honestly can't find much to say about the games I like, but I'll try. The gameplay is very smooth and entertaining supported with the huge map that it would take a lot of time to explore. Aside from the cleverly designed missions, you can go to a strip club, go bet on horse racing, be a cab driver, get wanted levels and try to survive without using cheats etc. But the thing that makes me like it the most is the intriguing dialogues and cutscenes. It might seem like classic gangster crap at first: swear, do drugs, swear, shoot people, but there's much much more to it than that. You get to observe how Carl is used by the corrupted police officers, the irony in that situation, process in which Johnson family breaks apart sweetened with occasional humor in events such as Jeffrey and Freddy's dialogue (dropping the soap). This game is just awesome and I'm sure everyone can find something that interests them in it. Btw, don't forget to turn off v-sync for a smoother experience :)… Expand

    Плюсы:
    - аЦ-Ц-Цкий геймплей
    - уникальная многогранная история, соединившая в себе уличную философию и жизненную мудрость - потрясающие кинематографические сценки на старом движке. Забыть падение пожарной машины с моста я не смогу никогда. Матерчатые модели персонажей смотрятся куда более привлекательно, чем в предшествующих частях и, несмотря на угловатость, оставляют после себя лишь    Плюсы:

    Минус:
    - физический движок. Большие столбы падают при малейшем соприкосновении с вашим железным конем, а тонкие деревья - стоят, даже не шелохнутся. Огромный грузовик можно в одиночку затолкать дальше, чем видишь

    Ця гра більше запам'яталась модами. Сам сюжет якийсь не дуже підлягаючи до мене тому, що я не вирос на вулицях свого міста. По цій причині не зможу пройти через усі етапи життя головного героя, який так сильно думає за своїх хлопців, які наче тягнуть його униз, але рідні для нього. Із мінусів то купа пустого місця, проте моди це фіксять та надають сенс.Ця гра більше запам'яталась модами. Сам сюжет якийсь не дуже підлягаючи до мене тому, що я не вирос на вулицях свого міста.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion this is the best gta for all time. The first place that convinced me was the atmosphere that plays a very important role in this game because instead of being a typical gangster who plans complicated bank robberies, we are ordinary gangsters from the 80s. In GTA SA there was also a very refined plot that could evoke feelings during example of Big smok's death. The great adventure that accompanies this game is so good that even today, despite the worse graphics, we are able to have fun and not pay attention to details because great fun fixes everything.… Expand

    This is the type of game you play sometimes for 10 minutes or for 2 hours, depending on your mood, the missions are the type of missions you play when you are bored.

    Joguei GTA San Andreas no PC pela primeira vez em 2016, durante uns três anos, e me diverti muito. Acho que uma nota 9/10 é justa, afinal não existe jogo perfeito. :D

    A rockstar nunca resolveu o problema do bug do mouse, então temos que recorrer a mods pra resolver isso até hoje, mas o jogo é excelente, em certo ponto a historia se perde um pouco mas continua muito divertido.

    The gameplay is great, the mission is great. But the problem is the story because of the mission ''Green Saber", CJ didn't mention Ryder at all. The other problem is the ''Cop Sidemission''(I don't know what is the mission call

Игра детства, в первую очередь, конечно же одна из лучших игр моего детства. И все же, не давая ностальгии заместить разум, я выскажусь о ее явных недостатках. И, как ни странно, главный из них кроется в геймплее. Летательные миссии - слабое место всех GTA с первой до SA (дальше я не прошел), никто, думаю, не станет с этим спорить. Все, что связано с управлением летным транспортом, реализовано максимально неудобно. Далее следует устаревшая уже на момент выхода графика, которая на самом деле никогда никого не смущала. Ну и сюжет, который выглядит слегка нелогичным за счет разнообразия и количества персонажей и общей нереалистичности происходящего, хотя про Карла и его семью можно было сочинить что-то действительно драматическое, ведь для этого есть всё необходимое. Но за драмой - добро пожаловать в серию Mafia. Спасибо, Rockstar, за детство, яркие эмоции, юмор и интересный геймплей!… Expand

    For sure, this is the GTA with the plot that I appreciate the most, I really like the style of this game from the map, the soundtrack, the story, the quests, everything. I was extremely disappointed in the later remake but, this is definitely a game you have to experience once, the only negatives are the 2004 graphics and the things related to the planes!

    I'll leave aside whatever objections I have to the game's content (such as killing cops and national guardsmen.) The same stupid bugs exists in SA as in VC: AI cars randomly drive crazy, the cop AI is horrible-- the way they just 'spawn' right next to you no matter how far you've run; the combat/gunplay is poorly executed (no pun intended), and many of the models I'll leave aside whatever objections I have to the game's content (such as killing cops and national guardsmen.)

The savegame system sucks. SA's soundtrack isn't as consistently good as VC's: the country-western songs are more often than not done by cover bands-- the reasons aren't that hard to figure out. Something is missing in SA. VC created a more convincing overall atmosphere, to me. SA isn't as fun a game as VC was, it's lacking that certain something.… Expand

    This is a really good game no matter how you look at it. Im not finished it but so far i feel like vice city was a more enjoyable game. The plot in this doesnt make as much sense and the music is nowhere nearly as good. But San andreas is much bigger and is still a fun game with enough new wrinkles to make worthwhile.

    The missions are too similar to previous GTA games, i.e. drive from A to B, kill someone and drive back to A. Or kill someone and drive back to A while some people chase you.

Or kill someone and drive back to A while some people chase you. Or while the cops chase you. Or before time runs out. The side missions are the same. Whether it's collecting secret packages, spraying 'tags', taking photos or collecting horse-shoes, IT'S ALL THE SAME. Delivering pizzas, passengers, prostitutes or couriering, IT'S ALL THE SAME. Sure, it's fun but no where near as fun as it was the first time you did it in GTA 3 or Vice City. Probably the only differing missions are the flying missions and there's not much variety there, either. For such an open-ended game, the missions are so unimaginative, repetitive, and SHORT. The theme of L.A. street gangs is the worst yet. That's partly because the scope of your typical street gang is too small and offers no real possibly for character development/evolution. And partly because you sense it's aimed at satisfying those who go puppy-eyed when they see Tupac on TV and who romanticise petty crime. With such a theme, the music is predictably the worst of any 3D GTA game. The sheer size of the game world is impressive at first, but not when you realise that so much of it is dead space and offers severely limited interactivity. I'd prefer a world the size of Vice-city with maximum interactivity than a larger world with great pockets of useless space. The graphics are poor. The inclusion of girlfriends is totally pathetic and surely can't interest anyone over the age of 13. I'm a millionaire who takes an unattractive girl to a fastfood restaurant for dinner? What the hell is that? A relationship? There are some neat improvements such as customising cars and a pay'n'spray that eliminates any wanted level, not just the first two wanted levels. Driving schools and flying schools are great optional activities in which to hone skills. There's so much more to say but, in short, Rockstar have to re-conceive of GTA, re-plan missions (don't make them so straight-forward and short) and get rid of all the cutesy-poo girlfriend nonsense and disco dancing. Vice City was captured so perfectly. There is so much to lampoon both in and out of popular culture when it comes to L.A. streetgangs, yet Rockstar panders to it instead of treating it as it treated Vice City. Since GTA is so popular in Japan, it would great if the next GTA was set there because it so nicely opens up the possibility of again humourously reflecting upon popular culture while unleashing total carnage. Oh yeah, bring back the RAMPAGES! The best repetitive side-missions!… Expand

    San Andreas is a lot of fun overall. It's what games such as Shenmue tried to be but didn't quite deliver.

Main real criticism is engine which was clearly outdated. On standard details character models during cutscenes looked indistinguishable from those of GTA3, and were clunky and poorly textured. Similarly ground textures rendered slowly when flying. Faults aside level design masks an outdated engine and makes for a superb experience.… Expand

    This game was okay... But I'm impressed with Rockstar. It impressed many people, including me. Jumping into the local PD with a pistol was pretty fun. But there were many bugs and gliithes in the game. The cops will chase you into the water in their SUV's til they drown. If you are new at playing games with stories, and want to play HL2 soon, I recommend you try this first.
