    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.
    Мнение эксперта: 10/10

    A Revolutionary Open-World Adventure - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

    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.

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.

    One of my favorite games when I was a child. Growing up wanted to play again.

    I must say, it is all nostalgia. The game is utter garbager, very very bad. Really not worth to waste your time. Game is actually very boring and there is nothing fun to do in it. It is very poorly made. Story is irrelevant and stupid anyway. Mechanics are poorly designed. The worst part of the game

    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.

    Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, un clásico aclamado por la crítica y los fanáticos, se destaca como el mejor juego de la serie GTA hasta la fecha. 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.

    As it is a holly grail of the gaming community, it's hard to talk about the disadvantages - yes, it is violent, vulgar and cliche. But at the same time, it is all staged so well, that you look at all of that through your fingers. It is approaching serious matters in a very non-serious way, being often auto-ironic and ridiculous.
    And the soundtrack that immediately transfers you to Los Santos. What more can I say - with all of its bugs and absurdities, GTA SA is a masterpiece.

    And in retrospective, considering the limitations at the time, I'll give it a 9/10.

    In terms of what they did right, this game seems pretty clearly the best one from this era of GTA.
    The story is pretty well-done. Characters are all memorable. Voice acting fits really well and has some unforgettable actors involved, like Samuel Jackson, David Cross, and Ice-T. The dialogue brings up a lot of social commentary, which I feel like is an underappreciated aspect of these games, and this game does it exceptionally well, referencing the LA riots from 1992, among plenty of topics here and there.
    Plus, this game can be funny. "All you men think about is ****ing! **** this! **** that!" "I'm sorry, baby!"
    The map is relatively huge and well-made. Everything flows really well, with loading times only being for building interiors / missions. You can swim, use a jetpack, and all the other normal GTA stuff like use tanks, planes, military helicopters, parachute from anywhere, take the train... You can date multiple girlfriends, who provide perks, vehicles, and outfits as you progress. Worth it for the two girls who let you keep your stuff when you die or get arrested.
    The added mechanics and different stats do make this a pretty immersive game. Gang territories are actually pretty fun, despite being somewhat repetitive.

    However, we must admit there are a few problems with this thing that can be pretty hard to overlook.
    First, it is incredibly frustrating to lose certain weapons after doing missions. It's weird, some missions will end with you have 50 rockets, and then after other missions, you'll lose like all your ammo for a couple weapons.
    Second, flying is such a pain in the ass to get used to sometimes. I feel like it adds some weight of realism, but the reason these GTA games are so fun is because they get ridiculous, and it comes across as more clunky.
    Third, buying clothes takes SO LONG. It takes like a full minute just to try on and buy 4 articles of clothing. I watched unrelated videos online to fill the time so I can buy everything, which is also kind of an issue: There isn't a big thing to buy. I can buy everything out well before the game is over.
    Fourth, I was not warned that I would lose the option of gang territories after about 30% of the story was done. This made me keep waiting for when they'd bring it back and it made me start to get a little impatient with the story, which did get a little bit tangential after that.

    That all said, it's still a really fun and addictive experience. The game's got a lot of personality, it does a lot of things right, despite its flaws, and I would consider it a top-tier PS2 game.

I consider this game to be the greatest PS2 game, the greatest GTA game, and my all-around favorite. The gaming experience was just unmatched and although other PS2 and future GTA games have better graphics, the immersion and enjoyment this game gave me puts this on top. There's just something about GTA San Andreas that keeps me coming back and be CJ all over again, whether I'm going on rampages on fighting the gurus in the gyms, or having a battle in the air with the Hydra, mauling criminals as a vigilante in the Rhino, this game has kept up its developers' philosophy of being engrossed in a world that seems to have no limits in the availability of actions that you can do. Carl "CJ" Johnson is a great protagonist (although Niko is almost tied with him as my favorite) and his story is one that I will never get tired of. From being a nobody to ushering his gang Grove Street Families to dominance twice, his adventures all over Los Santos, San Fierro, the countryside and Las Venturas, to being the most powerful man in San Andreas by the endgame, as well as being the first protagonist who can swim, CJ brings a lot to the table and is very essential to this game's enjoyment. Other characters are also great, be it as good guys, bad guys, bad guys doing good like Woozie, or supposedly good guys doing bad like Bog Smoke and Ryder, or maybe they're just hood guys. Frank Tenpenny is a great villain and Samuel L. Jackson played him to perfection along with the other voice actors in this game. Cesar Vialpando is my 2nd favorite as he is really a very dependable friend in this game..
    Currently playing on Android so I can play on the go, I consider the PC version better because of the modifications but I'll never forget the OG. The original game that defined my teen years.
    I will never stop playing this game.

    Pros:
    - Different missions that are really cool and fun
    - Story
    - A lot of good content (side missions, etc)
    - A great open world filled with life/realism

    Cons:
    - Boring missions (driving from point A to B, etc)
    - It can be challenging sometimes

    After a platinum and 102 hours played, i recommend it to everyone.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i remember well that first GTA where i could swim, the game introduced 3 cities on one map. Holy hell the first impressions were so great and not just the first ones my overall impression of this game is great. This is maybe my most favorite game of all my fav games :)
    I remember the graphics were pretty good on both PS2 and a PC, the only disadvantage of the PC version is 2 players mode, had a lot of fun with that on PS2. Altho i can play the PC version today unlike the PS2 one today on PS5 :/
    The only thing i remember that was not really revlutionary for the day was the draw/render distance, but its never been rly good in R* games engines, lets be honest.
    I still enjoy this game today on a PC or mobile version, the story is so good, the overall environment is just so immersive, the surrounding, the music, the population, the transport AI, pedestrians AI, etc. it is simply a masterpiece and one of the best games ever made, always like to come back and relax.

    Acho um bom jogo que revolucionou vários quesitos gamers, pra mim tem a 2ª melhor história da franquia GTA (perdendo pro GTA 4), tem personagens marcantes. Não é à toa que é o jogo mais vendido do ps2, pena que seu remaster não honrou essa obra prima.

    Cara... eu não preciso falar nada, simplesmente depois de tanto tempo e mesmo dps dos seus sucessores esse ainda é o melhor gta pra mim, fora que aqui no Brazil tinha algo muito doido que na gringa não tinha kk, o fato de vc comprar jogos modificados do gta era a coisa mais doida (na maioria das vezes não funcionava), mas quando funcionava,, rapá... era CJ pegando fogo sem gritar "AAAAAAAAAAH" e matando a policia, jogando meteoro na cidade, virando super-herói com roupa de masoquista, capitão nascimento, homem aranha, homem de ferro, GOKU, mano tinha gta pra tudo que é gosto e tipo kk,

    Esse foi um jogo que marcou muito a minha vida e a dos meus amigos, o primeiro contato que tive com ele foi no gta de ps1 com a visão de cima, e com o San Andreas foi quando meu tio me levou em uma lan house, me lembro de ir trocar uma ideia com os balas, achei que eles fossem meus amigos, mas do nada os desgraçados me metralharam kk, poxa mas o jogo tava tão divertido que meu tio começou a jogar e nem me deixou jogar direito ;-;.

    Ninguém queria saber de história cara, geral queria era pegar um carro, atropelar geral, pegar 5 estrelas, fugir o quanto conseguir da policia, pegar a bazuca e explodir tudo e todos, dar umas voltas com o hydra, tentar passar por debaixo de uma ponte e.... BOOOOM!! BOOOM! BOM! BOOOM!! BOM! BOM! BOM! BOOOOM!!!, kkkkkkkkkk, (nunca naves e helicópteros explodiam 300 vezes kkkk, mas eu adorava)

    Gta San Andreas é uma parada fora do normal, não é só um jogo cara, gta San Andreas se tornou um clássico, e mais q um jogo, se tornou nostalgia.

  1. 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.
  2. 90
    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.
  3. 95
    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.
