    WHAT THE! Im blown away at how there is so many things to do and it's long. This is way better than GTA 3 So what the hell are the metacritic people doin, 96 score c'mon its way better than gta 3 anyway u do ur stupid calculations but san andreas is the best. I know y u put GTA 3 so high because it was a new "revolution" in the GTA series. But again i say it's the best in WHAT THE! Im blown away at how there is so many things to do and it's long.

    A technical masterpiece for it's time and 15 years later still incredibly playable. In my opinion it's the pinicle of the franchise and remains one of my favorite games.

    After Tommy Vercetti took control of Vice City, Carl Johnson, a Grove Street Gangster, climbs up to the ranks where Grand Theft Auto San Andreas became a magnum opus in open-world games of tomorrow. There’s is no doubt that San Andreas is a boundary-pushing technical masterpiece that broke so much records this time around.

    Graphics don’t mean anything with this game. Despite not looking as good as the new ones it has much more content in terms of side missions and vehicles and definitely has the most interesting map with 3 large cities and areas of the countryside.

    I was bitterly disappointed with Vice City; it struck me as a carbon copy of GTA3 but with a few, rather bland, bells of whistles attached. However this is game is just amazing - I've played for four hours and only bothered to play 4 missions, the rest of the time I've been soaking up everything else there is to do...and I've only tackled a fifth of the overall map!

    Anyone that gives this a low score doesn't know what they're talking about. It's better than a 98...X-Box fans can go play Halo, their only game, and be jealous of this incredible game.

    "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" was THE video game of 2004. It is arguably the best entry in the series and perhaps the most controversial. The "Hot Coffee" scandal got Rockstar Games into really, umm...hot water. What else is there to say about a 14 year old title? This is a satirical open-world masterpiece that uses "Menace II Society" as its main inspiration. It managed to surpass the"Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" was THE video game of 2004.

What else is there to say about a 14 year old title? This is a satirical open-world masterpiece that uses "Menace II Society" as its main inspiration. It managed to surpass the previous two PS2 GTA games in content. Featuring three cities based on Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas, it is a vast epic that has yet to be topped in terms of scope. While certain aspects are a bit crude (graphics, enemy A.I., shooting mechanics, etc.), the game is exceptionally entertaining. It's a hilarious must-play "sandbox" experience for adults. I would rate "San Andreas" with a 10 out of 10.… 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.

    There's so much to do in this game that it's outside of my range of imagination to be able to picture me reaching a 100% complete. Unfathomable.
