    Best GTA game ever made so far as 2019.
    A rich soup of content and gameplay mechanics.
    Very immersive plot and turning of events.
    Unique characters, amazing radio stations music.
    An all time classic.

    In my opinion, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is better than this game. But I liked this game so much. Probably 40-50hrs on record.

    Grand Theft Auto San Andreas игра моего детства но какую её добавили в Steam и в Рокстар лаунчер я сожилею что купил в Steam, это хреновое отношение к покупателям.
    Только из-за того что игра плохая в этиз сервисах даю 6/10 а так игра на 8/10.

    Vice City hooked me somehow more than San Andreas, although it would seem like a whole staff with 3 cities, the opportunity to eat, go to the gym, a lot of aircraft, trains, a jetpack, and a bunch of everything else (you can list 5000 characters ;D )

    - 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.

    On of the best games ever made. Period. The amount of opportunities in this game still impress to this day. When comes about San Andreas, it is not only about driving cars, completing missions etc. it's something a way bigger than that. The unique atmosphere of that game makes you feel like no one else game does.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. GTA San Andreas can be one of the masterpiece during game history. There are many types of games such as shooting , adventure , formation , racing........ Well ,San Andreas is a highly free open world with combination of multiple elements above. This is what makes GTASA unique from many games. When I first started playing this game on my computer 11 years ago, It was like a treasure. I am still immersed in the big map of three cities, country and desert. Even with 100% completion, people can still find fun in the game itself with the exception of mod and SAMP. Turn to the storyline and plot ,GTA SA have the most rich and wonderful plot among GTA 3D series. Unlike the single Revenge story form Claude in GTA3 , the storyline of SA is long and tortuous, from the beginning of the gang's revival to the end of the frustrated group, with the main character having to do dirty work for the bad cop in order to protect his own brother. Then he went out and met friends and made money, bailed out his brother and began the final family revival for the final Armageddon and so on.... Inside the game feelings from different characters are full, Carl's course is full of growth and hard work. Back to the game, both PC and PS2 platform brings me a lots of fun. I will give a 10/10 for this masterpiece Expand

    For me this is the best GTA* in the series. Memorable characters, fun gameplay, nice vehicles to ride, fun missions. Let's not forget "Just follow the damn train CJ!"

    * At the time of this review I didn't play the GTA V, so it may change.

    One of the best games I've ever played! This game has it all - action, story, driving, nostalgia, memorable characters etc. Until I discovered The Witcher 3, this was my favourite game of all time. I still play it every now and then, 15+ years later. They don't make games like this anymore.

    A classic for a reason, and still competing as one of the most content rich open worlds, 15+ years after release. What else really needs to be said? I sincerely doubt there even is anyone who has at least not heard about this game, considering how often it is referenced and the memes it spawns even almost two decades after release.

What else really needs to be said? I sincerely doubt there even is anyone who has at least not heard about this game, considering how often it is referenced and the memes it spawns even almost two decades after release. I have replayed it multiple times, owning a disc copy, and later re-bought digitally, and will likely re-play it again a couple times in the future.

    Now, it is - objectively - by no means a perfect game - even during its time, the graphics were dated, and physics were rather simplistic, and unlike other GTA games, the plot had a bit of a good guys vs. bad guys vibe, which did not really make sense considering the setting and the characters. On the other hand, the open world was not only considerably larger than previous GTA games, it was also more varied in terms of locations, and was filled with content - both missions, main and side, and a variety of minigames, collectables, challenges and easter eggs. The sound direction is great, especially in regards to soundtrack and radio track selection - I still sometimes listen to the OST / radio tracks on youtube as they are really good mixes. Also, it really shows that you can make a large game, and not have it an almost unplayable bugfest (though there still were some, and not all of them got patched) at launch - yes, I'm looking at you, Bethesda.

    SA is truly the definitive GTA game of the 3D era, it expanded greatly upon the content of previous games not only in regards to the mission/story content, but pretty much everything else - I would say one of the most important introductions was the (pretty extensive, all things considered) vehicle customization, which has since been considered a requirement to have in this type of open world games, and has led to criticism of games of this type that do not have it.

    Anyways, if you've never played SA, I recommend to do so ASAP. There will be a lot of jank, the graphics will make your eyes bleed at times - especially if you mostly play recent AAA titles, but you'll find a lot of enjoyment and fun in the game nevertheless.

    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.

    Considerado por muchos (y por mí también) como el mejor GTA jamás creado hasta la actualidad. Y creo que tiene muchos meritos para obtener ese titulo. Es uno de los juegos más influyentes de todos los tiempos. Un ejemplo del sandbox que, a pesar de no tener buenos gráficos actualmente, GTA san Andreas fue, es y será una experiencia videojugabilistica que marcó una generación entera.

    Juegazo con miles de opciones. Diversion asegurada y encima se le podian poner todo tipo de mods cuando ya te habias pasado el juego para seguir rejugandolo.

    Моя любимая часть гта в пк версии которая не имеет ту атмосферу как в версии пс2
    Но благодаря сампу который является мультиплеером на пк, заставила провести довольно таки много времени и наслаждаться игрой так же как и на пс2
    Так же имеется куча разных модов которые координально меняют игру
