The Most Amazing Game Ever Created... Still - By: Joe Tomlinson, 29 May 2008 
This games is still the greatest game of alll time in my opinion with the new GTA 4 out on the next gen console this games still kicks the ass out of it & every other game to of ever. I would still buy it now on 360 if they made. The vastness & the lifespan & new attribute such as clothing, eating, gym & tatoos make this game the best of alll time.

gangster - By: megee, 18 Jan 2008 gta san andreas has been so far the best gta game & most probably the last to be on the ps2 with the ability to travel across the state of san andreas by car boats plains & other verchles this is a great free roam game. Looking back at the game now i have to admit the graffics do look a bit tatty but with a great story line & pleanty of smalll missions to this game is great. pleanty of missions perfect for hardcore gamers this game you could play over & over again.
This game is mindblowing - By: D. J. Sam, 05 Sep 2007 I must say that i dont know why this game has negative reviews because these people are crazy. This game is so amazing. Theres just so much to do. I have gone through the whole storyline of the game 3 times already & the game will never lose its replayability value. Over 100 missions, huge map & environment, Bunch loads of vehicles, good weapons, side missions (for once in GTA, your money can be used for something other than in GTA 3) multiplayer aswell, & finallly, you can interact with other people on the street.
But need i say, the graphics arent the strong point of the game. As in the game, when you are going fast, it sometimes takes very long to load up the full detail of the environments & sometimes it looks like you are floating but it loads up pretty soon. Also, the game has bugs but not as much as other GTA's. But if you are soo hooked into the game, you will not notice the graphics or bugs.
If you are looking for a sensational 1 player experience, pick this up NOW!!. The multiplayer is very very limited so its best to play one player. if you want a game where you will roam the streets for hours on end, whether your gaining muscle, taking your girlfriend out to eat, burgling a house at night, training for a triathlon or even just going around killing people & being chased by police, this is definately the game for you. In fact, i would recommend this game to anyone apart from those protestors who want to get rid of violence & those stuck up people. At this price, it is almost disposable only putting a little strain on your pocket.
THE BIGGEST GAME ON PS2 - By: stuart, 13 Aug 2007 What a blast ! I am one of these gamers that never finishes any games at alll but has a go at everything that is new & sounds somewhat interesting, just to lose interest after a couple of days, if not after hours already. The only exception so far was Vice City which still rotates in the good old PS2 from time to time... And now San Andreas is out...Finallly ! I've spent more hours on a bicycle or in the gym, than I probably have done in real life in the past couple of years together. I've been betting on horse races, pool games & low rider competitions. I've seen things I thought would never happen in a game & I have only finished 10% of the game, 20 days passed in the game. I wont spoil plot details but will rant on a bit about the things I've seen so far.
Bad things first : - The music stations suck. There are a few good songs only, in my opinion, but solely the fact that the variety is massive, is already a good thing again. - The graphic is bad. Or better the glitches that happen. Half a cop stuck in the asphalt, leaving the gym in Canton & fallling through a blue background for seconds before finallly being "down to earth again" , the garage in the Johnson house lifting you up as well when the door opens & and & and & ... But the positive sides to this game make up for it And that were the only things that I would say are negative. This time around you can swim, ride bicycles, heck I've even driven a train already, on top of the usual walk, or drive cars & ride motor bikes. You exercise & like in a RPG game built up your characters abilities & appearance. Your lung capacity increases the more often you swim & dive ( while trying to find hidden oysters for example ) you run in order to increase your stamina, which makes you run longer . You workout in the gym to increase your fitness level & appearance which seems to have to have an impact on your respect & sex appeal ( respect later on lets you recruit own gang members , sex appeal helps you with the ladies ) . Exercising increases your maximum health on top of it. You get tattoos, haircuts & shaves, go shopping for clothes & bling. While working out , you can also decide to learn new fighting skills. You eat in order to fill up your health, so far I've seen four different kinds of fast food restaurants, but too much food with no workout lets you get fat. I've only been around Los Santos so far, the rest is still inaccessible, & from what I've seen there already, this is the biggest game ever. The city is busy with people talking to you, making comments about your looks. Gang members from other gangs slag you off or start firing at you whenever you cruise around in their territory. Appearantly you are able to talk back to people which only seems to work occasionallly. The traffic seems to follow a "rush hour" system like in real life, busier then. You gotta watch out, especiallly on highways as the good old, "juststandinginfrontofacartomakeitstop" doesn't reallly work any more & you get run over easily. Accidents happen , sometimes massive ones, so you're not reallly safe on the streets. Cops chase around other criminals & are much more alert. Once for example I've head on cop on a motorbike ( yeah !!!! ) stop in front of a car that I was just standing next to, probably checking if I was about to jack it. There's different sort of planes & helicopters flying over the city & believe it or not : I've seen a plane crash into the city already causing massive damage to cars. I've been riding a train & seen some drivers crash into trains as well.
You can go & break into houses, go dancing, gamble on horse races. Your general skills in utilizing rides & weapons improve as well over the time, depending on how often you use them.Stealth kills are possible as well this time around. There is a bar where you can play pool for money ( though I have to wonder why it only worked in the beginning & every time I go back now I can't any longer ?!?! )and there's even videogames. Some shops & buildings have vending machines for snacks & soda, that also help to fill up your energy meter... There's far more to it on new things than the ones I mentioned & I can't wait to ge deeper into the game... The good old pay & spray is back, I've seen one AmmuNation shop but not accessible so no idea where to get guns from ( apart from one guy that keeps a pistol for you ) , the hidden statues thing exists but in a different way , so far though I have not figured out what you get for that...
I reckon it's a safe bet to say that if you liked Vice City you will be more than pleased with this one....
A 10 out of 10 !!!
