It is the early 90s now, and Carl has to head back home because the mother of Carl has been murdered brutally and his family and friends are all in trouble.
As soon as he returns to his locality, some corrupt cops frame Carl for homicide. He is forced to be on a journey that is going to take CJ across the state of San Andreas, to take control of himself and to save his friends and family from any further disasters. There a lot of new buildings, cityscapes, vehicles and now the players have more control in the game. Moreover, the character Carl Johnson has been given the real classic look. It is now bigger, worse and more ass burning than ever.
Say Hi! Take advantage of this wide and open world game with three major cities and take full control of your decisions. But, who cares? You are probably already playing by this moment. Good game! Build a kingdom. Collect resources. Do more. Open multiple instances and play the same game from different accounts.
Write a set of commands to execute a series of actions that you want to automate. Bind it to one key and you are done. Experience crisper graphics and smoother animations. Complete Google sign-in to access the Play Store, or do it later. Some games are not meant to be played on a tiny screen, with clumsy controls and all the complications that comes along with it.
When you take the scope of the entire game into considerations, San Andreas is a real technical feat. Some of the textures don't look too hot and there are a few prominent visual bugs, but just about everything else has taken a step up from Vice City.
Likewise, the audio presentation is probably the best yet in the series: the voice-acting is impeccably convincing, the dialogue smartly written, and the diverse music fits in perfectly with the gang-bangin' theme of the game. If your answer is anywhere from an enthusiastic "hell yeah" to a wishy-washy "kinda" than you should probably be playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas right now.
However, if you're in the minority and your answer is a "no, not really" then you should probably still give it a rent. Nothing in the series has changed drastically, but there's so much more content that even without a major face lift, San Andreas just might win you over.
Not too long ago, it seemed doubtful that the Xbox would ever receive the Grand Theft Auto treatment that the PlayStation 2 reeled in success from. With the announcement of the Grand Theft Auto: Double Pack for the Xbox however, the horizons brightened for Xbox owners as two of the finest titles in the PS2 library finally made its appearance on the Xbox, cementing the possibility of future Grand Theft Auto titles.
And lo and behold, just half a year later after the initial appearance on the PlayStation 2, the Xbox gets the royal treatment with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas , which ultimately turns out to be a straight-up port of a fantastic game. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the same game it was on the PlayStation 2, and as such, there's no point in going over my rambling drivel when you can just read it in my original PlayStation 2 review. However, if you want the long and short of it, here it is: San Andreas is a lot of fun, and so filled to the brim with content, that even if you didn't dig Grand Theft Auto before, it's worth checking out now.
The Xbox version definitely looks sharper with a cleaner textures and HDTV support, but strangely, the load times are no better, and in some cases worse, than the PS2 version; makes you wonder what that hard drive is for, doesn't it? Another major failing of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on the Xbox is the unnatural controller layout, and it's a fault that can't be too heavily attributed to the developers.
The PS2 version of San Andreas utilized every single button on the PS2 controller, with the especially important four shoulder buttons in constant rotation, and since the Xbox has only two shoulder buttons, this creates an issue. Drive-bys, for example, are only possible with a contortionists flexibility, making the already tough game quite a bit harder. Make no mistake, it's still a pleasure to cruise down the streets of San Andreas, but if you've cruised down the streets via your PlayStation 2, then not enough has changed to warrant cruising down them again via the Xbox.
However, if you haven't experienced the simple pleasures of high speed chases on the hilly streets of San Ferrio or the thrills of re-experiencing the 90's in a violent fashion, then don't hesitate to check out Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Arguably, one of the most well-known and hyped game series of the past few years. San Andreas, the third title in the GTA series, puts you in the shoes of Carl Johnson, a former die-hard street hood looking for a new life away from his old neighborhood in Los Santos.
When his mother is killed and C. But will it be for revenge, or redemption? So please bear with me, as this was the expectation I had going in to this review. The first thing that caught my eye with GTA: San Andreas was that it feels like a direct port from a console gaming system.
Controls, video, and the like all seem to be not much better than your average gaming console's, which is quite obviously the case. However, where many 'ported'? However, bad graphics I can forgive if a game has other worthwhile aspects. GTA: San Andreas has this in spades in some departments.
The audio is top notch, with excellent voice acting, simply fantastic music, and well-used sound effects. The stereo effects in vehicles makes me feel like I'm back in a big city again, complete with the fast-talking DJs and gritty, urban tracks. GTA: San Andreas also boasts a HUGE playfield area, where, in addition to playing through the storyline, you'll be able to experience the many sights, sounds and activities that the several cities in the state of San Andreas has to offer.
Check out how the other half lives in the swanky parts of town, or slide into the gutters where the dregs of humanity lives, it's all represented here in GTA, and in great detail. Still, with the amount of hype this game's getting, it seems people are afraid to mention the many flaws that GTA: San Andreas has. And there are many. First off, the physics of the game are so bad it's almost unplayable at times, especially early on.
For example, your character seems to do a lot more damage with his fists than with the 9mm Beretta he steals from an unconscious cop; I beat down a gangbanger with a few well placed punches and kicks, but when I tried to put the hurt down on one of his buddies with my pistol, I emptied a clip right in to him and did fairly little damage.
That's some screwed up physics there. With the advances gaming systems are making in graphics and animation, you'd think that the cut scenes in GTA: San Andreas would be top notch, right?
Well, it's a mixed bag. In some cases, cut scenes and animation in game look to be quite polished and well designed, but in others there's very little detail or complexity to character's movements and actions. Combine the huge world with a seemingly unlimited amount of side missions and activities and a very well written story and you get a extremely entertaining game.
GTA San Andreas is still an amazing game. A game with atmosphere and style, and should keep anyone busy. GTA san andreas is a hell of an impressive game. San Andreas is a classic.
