    огромная песочница, огромный игровой мир, куча отличных радиостанций и пара десятков колоритных персонажей- вот рецепт одной из лучших игр за все время. даже гта 5, на мой взгяд не смогла повторить того фурора, который произвела гта СА в своё время. просто садишься себе в любую машину и едешь куда глаза глядят под отличную музыку, плаваешь, исследуешь мир, угоняешь поезда. что еще нужно,огромная песочница, огромный игровой мир, куча отличных радиостанций и пара десятков колоритных персонажей- вот рецепт одной из лучших игр за все время. даже гта 5, на мой взгяд не смогла повторить того фурора, который произвела гта СА в своё время. просто садишься себе в любую машину и едешь куда глаза глядят под отличную музыку, плаваешь, исследуешь мир, угоняешь поезда. что еще нужно, да и это все в 2004 году Expand

    Лучшая часть ГТА, которая такой и останется. Потому что Рокстары вряд ли будут стараться над новыми частями, учитывая их последние заявления, что весь упор будет делаться на мультиплеер и донат.

    I'm writing down this review in 2017, 13 years after the game came out and wow the nostalgia that I have for this game. It might seem doll and stupid and ugly to look at now, but when it came it was the best game of all time (for me). I would LOVE to see a remake of this masterpiece because it deserves it.

    The graphics suck.Extremely surpassed even for the time, games like HL2 or Metal Gear Solid 3 were released in the same year or before and were more beautiful.And the hands of the characters...Jesus.
    BUT WHO CARES FOR GRAPHICS WITH SUCH AN AWESOME KICKASS GAME?!?The characters, the story, the missions, the music, the map, Rockstar got EVERYTHING right!GTA San Andreas did awesome things

    The best Grand Theft Auto Game to this day. 3 cities, plenty of side-stuff to do. I think we all have fond memories of playing this game. GTA 5 is boring compared to this.

    q no os quepa ninguna duda, este es el mejor juego de la historia, y para mi, lo mas cercano es GTA V, q es de la misma saga. Un juego que te dara horas y horas de diversion, y apesar de tener unos graficos desfasados para nuestra epoca (2017), siempre mantiene su frescura en cuanto a jugabilidad

    Детище Rockstar получилось шикарным.
    + Большой открытый мир
    + Улучшенная графика (после Vice City это шик) + Интересные персонажи + Разнообразие транспорта + Главный герой даже может плавать + Сюжет поинтереснее, чем в прошлых частях + Больше возможностей кастомизации персонажа ( Магазины одежды, Барбершопы, Тату салоны) + Можно поесть в Клакин - Беле + Есть качалка +

    + Огромное кол-во домов, которые можно купить
    + Джетпак ( Это лучший транспорт в игре )
    Из минусов отсутствие русского языка, непонятки с ограничителем кадров и некоторые баги.
    В целом это культовая и для кого-то даже лучшая игра, за свою скромную цену это мастхэв для тру геймера.

    I played every single GTA. Yes, of course, GTA IV and V are technically better, but SA takes very special place in my heart. Moreover, the game was a real technical breakdown of that time, when it was released. You could swim, dive, eat, have sex, train in gym, fly, drive all types of transport possible, ganbang districts, climb and a lot lot more. In addition to

    Are you familiar with the rapper Coolio? Okay, good because this is a Gangsta's Paradise. This is so far the best and most glorious GTA game ever created. This is so Hip Hop. This is so Rap. This is so RnB. This has everything. This is how we see America. Gang-Wars, weapons, bling-bling, hot chicks, sexy sportscars and much more. This is the American Dream.

    Solid game. Not to mention the extraordinary side of the story. But this is a matter of how Rockstar managed to present a no less quality sequel with extraordinary improvements. A solid story, with gameplay and an extraordinary open world, what else can we expect. Well, just wait until GTA VI is released.

    Oh wait, that's my comment on PS2 segment? Well, no problem. Just the same. So,

    So, what's the thing that make PC version is more superior?
    Of course, mod-able segment.
    Just imagine, 2004/3005 game that have next-gen graphic. Not a dream no more.

  1. Kudos to Rockstar for actually including gamepad support for the PC!!
  2. It will surely take up hundreds of hours to even the most casual of gamers.
  3. It is the perfect crime game.
