    El juego perfecto. Ha envejecido un poco mal pero sigue siendo un juego inmenso y lleno de posibilidades. Hay algo mejor que perderse por San Andreas? Yo creo que no.

    One of the best PS2-Games ever. First GTA-Title I played and I love nearly every aspect of the game. In the PS2-Version is also a more or less hidden local Multiplayer-Mode.

    For me, this was the best GTA game. At the time, the graphics were top notch, and there were many additions like bicycles and stabbing that added to the game. In terms of gameplay, it was the same as the other GTAs but they had territories to claim. I have no idea why they removed the territories from later GTAs, it was an awesome addition to an otherwise monotonous game.

    Я безупречно всем вам скажу уважаемые геймеры, эта игра действительно оправдала все мои ожидания. Сюжет действительно очень интересный. Физика отлична. Графика в тех времён без вопросов красивая. Открытый мир огромный. В этом мире игра тебя заставляет делать всё что угодно. Впрочем минус бал за кривое поведение машини во время гонках.

É um jogo completo, um verdadeiro marco na industria dos games, mesmo sendo um jogo de 2004, ele continua sendo jogável até hoje, não pelos seus gráficos- que infelizmente ficaram nessa geração- mas pelas suas mecânicas inovadoras, pela historia bem desenvolvida e por um personagem muito carismático que é o CJ e claro pela liberdade que o jogo proporciona ao jogador, um mundo vasto e com conteúdo, gta san andreas é um jogo clássico e uma obrigação para todo gamer… Expand

    El juego que todo el mundo quería en 2004, menos tus padres.
    Sin duda uno de los mejores juegos de la historia.
    Lo peor de este juego es que, desde entonces, ningún GTA será ni la mitad de bueno que este.

    Rating: ★★★★★

    Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas remains a timeless masterpiece that set the standard for open-world gaming. Released over a decade ago, this iconic title continues to captivate players with its vast, immersive world, engaging storyline, and unmatched level of freedom.

    Set in the fictional state of San Andreas during the early 1990s, the game follows the journey of Carl "CJ" Johnson, a former gang member returning to his hometown after the death of his mother. The narrative delves into themes of family, loyalty, and the gritty realities of gang life, delivering a compelling and memorable storyline that keeps players invested throughout.

    The sprawling open world of San Andreas is a marvel in itself. From the bustling streets of Los Santos to the rural countryside and the gang-infested territories, the sheer size and diversity of the map are staggering. The attention to detail is astounding, with dynamic weather, realistic NPC behavior, and a vast array of activities and missions to undertake.

    One of the game's standout features is its unparalleled freedom. Players can explore the vast landscape, engage in side activities such as gambling, racing, and even customizing CJ's appearance. The ability to interact with a wide range of characters, each with their unique personalities and stories, adds depth to the world and makes it feel alive.

    The gameplay mechanics strike a balance between accessibility and complexity. Driving mechanics are intuitive, gunplay feels satisfying, and the RPG-like progression system allows players to enhance CJ's skills and attributes over time. The missions are varied and offer a mix of thrilling action, clever storytelling, and creative objectives, ensuring there's never a dull moment.

    The soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas deserves special mention. With an extensive collection of licensed tracks from the '90s, spanning various genres, the radio stations in-game provide an immersive and nostalgic backdrop to the gameplay experience.

    While the visuals may show their age by today's standards, the art direction and attention to detail in the environment remain impressive. Additionally, the PC version offers a modding community that has breathed new life into the game, allowing players to enhance graphics, add new content, and extend the replay value.

    Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a true gaming classic that has left an indelible mark on the industry. Its rich open world, compelling storyline, and unparalleled level of freedom continue to captivate players of all generations. Whether you're revisiting it for the nostalgia or experiencing it for the first time, this game is an absolute must-play for any fan of open-world adventures.    … Expand

Unfortunately, after replaying this game, I cannot help but feel quite disappointed in much of the game. I feel like the problems from this game stems from the fact that a majority of the missions are quite long and tedious. In general, it never gets more complicated than "kill this guy". To be fair, this is something that I noticed while playing Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. However, the difference between these two games comes down to the fact that Vice City had fewer missions, meaning that it had a larger ratio of gimmicky and different objectives. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas goes on for far too long and several of its new features such as the stats system are not put to good use. Other than that though, I think it is worth replaying.… Expand

    I mean, it's a great game, but the story is a bit... meh. Nothing special. And the action is a bit repetitive in some points. The best is the map, 3 cities and a lot of country in between to get lost looking for easter eggs and details. So yeah, play it even if it's not te best GTA out there.

    The worst part of the game and BY FAR, are the missions.
    THE MISSIONS ARE ABSOLUTE TRASH.
    If you play this game, do not do the missions. Just have fun with cheats and thats it.

    Highly over rated game, just good because back then all the children like me liked it, but once you are an adult and experience other games you reallise this is actually bad on every level.

    This game is a big part of my childhood, but I realized I did not play for the story, i played cause it was the only game i had. The only one I had because everyone talked about it. Just fuss no funn.    … Expand

Con una mezcla perfecta de acción y aventura, este título épico redefine el género de los juegos de mundo abierto y ofrece una experiencia inolvidable.

Con una mezcla perfecta de acción y aventura, este título épico redefine el género de los juegos de mundo abierto y ofrece una experiencia inolvidable.
    En el género de Action Adventure y ambientado en un entorno moderno, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas nos sumerge en la vibrante ciudad de Los Santos y sus alrededores, inspirados en Los Ángeles y el sur de California. El nivel de detalle y la atención al diseño del mundo abierto son asombrosos, creando una sensación de inmersión sin igual.
    Lo que realmente destaca en este juego es su narrativa magistral. En mi opinión, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas cuenta con la mejor historia de toda la saga. El protagonista, Carl "CJ" Johnson, se ve envuelto en una trama emocionante y compleja que abarca la lealtad familiar, las pandillas callejeras, la corrupción y la lucha por el poder. Los personajes están hábilmente escritos y desarrollados, sumergiéndonos en un mundo lleno de conflictos morales y decisiones difíciles.
    Además de su historia cautivadora, San Andreas ofrece una variedad de misiones y actividades que mantienen a los jugadores completamente absorbidos. Desde misiones de robo hasta carreras de autos, pasando por batallas callejeras y misiones secundarias, hay una cantidad abrumadora de contenido para explorar. La libertad de elección y la capacidad de interactuar con el mundo son verdaderamente impresionantes, permitiéndote decidir cómo quieres vivir la vida de CJ en este vasto y dinámico entorno.
    Los gráficos y el apartado sonoro también merecen un reconocimiento. Aunque el juego fue lanzado originalmente en 2004, los visuales siguen siendo impresionantes y han envejecido muy bien. La música, que incluye una variedad de géneros de la época, contribuye a la atmósfera auténtica y memorable de San Andreas.
    En resumen, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas es simplemente una obra maestra atemporal. Con su fascinante historia, su mundo abierto vasto y envolvente, y una jugabilidad repleta de acción, no es sorprendente que sea considerado el mejor juego de la serie GTA. La puntuación de 10/10 refleja el impacto duradero que ha tenido en la industria de los videojuegos y en la vida de los jugadores. Si aún no has experimentado este clásico, te recomiendo encarecidamente que lo juegues y descubras por qué es una referencia en la historia de los videojuegos.    … Expand

    The amount of things to do in the cities of Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas is absolutely staggering... In my opinion there’s no excuse to not have a “save anywhere” feature included.

    San Andreas's chief advantage over "Vice City" is size. And for many players, that's good enough. But another group of fans will come to quietly understand that, at least for the time being, "Vice City" remains the high point of the GTA series.
