gta 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2004 It is finally out the game that millions of people have been waiting for. This time the main character is African American. It is out in stores. You can get more info from their website or read on. Their site is located at: GTA-SanAndreas Shooting and Accuracy Just about every skill that CJ has in San Andreas can be upgraded the more that Carl uses it -- and the ability to shoot is no different. In fact, it's probably the most important skill of them all. By pushing the L1 key while holding a weapon in their hands, players will be able to immediately discern what kind of attributes that CJ has via a helpful status screen. This statistical readout displays a meter that will fill with a white bar the more an individual skill is increased (ie: by using a particular weapon), and will provide Carl with a word-based ranking such as "Gangster" or "Hitman." He begins with a "Poor" rating in everything. The Boat School If you're spending a lot of time in the water, then the boat school may be just what you're looking for. Providing a variety of different challenges meant to improve your boating skills, this particular location will award players with extra points for accomplishing their goals rather quickly. Players will be penalized for boat or buoy damage, though, so they'd best be on the lookout for such mistakes. But at least beginning the challenges won't be too difficult: simply walk up to a red marker in front of the monitor set up inside the school to begin. Driver's Ed Driving skills are yet another ability in Grand Theft Auto that players will have to contend with; and there are ways to improve those abilities as well. The driving school is the best place to do it, as it teaches CJ new techniques or simply enhances existing capabilities. These improved driving skills will better Carl's overall steering control, allow him to make sharper turns, and make quick stops when necessary. Players will also be given in-air control over most of their vehicles. This means that the roll and pitch of a car can be adjusted much like that of a motorcycle. Gamers will even have the ability to learn 360s, tire-blow maneuvering, controlled stops, and flawless barrel rolls. Best of all, you'll be able to pull of the same PIT technique used by law enforcers as means to cripple opposing cars. All Aboard! San Fierro's Doherty section is the local stop for San Andreas' Brown Streak Express -- a train that can take you all over the state. As an added bonus, however, players can also partake in a mini-game known as "Freight Train." In it, players can hijack a train at any available station (done by throwing an engineer out of his car) and press R3 to get the ball rolling. Once the mini-game has started, there are only two controls to worry about: stop and go. True to real-life trains, however, the Brown Streak will take an extremely long time to reach its top speed, and an equally long time to brake when the time calls for it -- two facts that are imperative to remember if you're going to do well in this challenge. Anyhow, once the mission has started, a yellow dot appears at the next station that marks a delivery location for your cargo. To successfully get it there, CJ has to stop the engine within a red marker. It's apparently going to be one of the most difficulty challenges, but will in turn pay one of the highest mission complete bonuses. Sound like good stuff to you? It is also said that you have a bunch of friends that help you out with drive bys on your enemy. GTA-SanAndreas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkwarrior 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2004 Its quite possibly the greatest game to ever exist on any console ever so far. In fact the only reason it isn't perfect right now is the limitations of current gen hard ware compared to their vision for GTA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BWiZ 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2004 Here is a nice REVIEW of GTA SA How do you follow up a runaway success like 2001's Grand Theft Auto III? Rockstar North responded a year later with GTA: Vice City, a game that took the gameplay of its predecessor and expanded it considerably. At the same time, Vice City gave the series an extensive and amazing stylistic makeover, drenching the experience in the sights, sounds, and attitude of Miami, Florida from the mid '80s. So where do you go from there? You take it statewide. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas expands the series' concept to encompass three entire cities, as well as the countryside between them. The gameplay similarly expands, packing in some explosive set pieces and amazing action-movie-like thrills while maintaining that same remarkably fun, freefom GTA feel. In short, Rockstar has done it again. San Andreas definitely lives up to the Grand Theft Auto name. In fact, it's arguably the best game in the series. Carl Johnson is going (going) back (back) to Cali (Cali). This latest installment takes place in 1992 in the West Coast-themed state of San Andreas. San Andreas is an island containing three cities. You'll begin the game in the city of Los Santos, which is based roughly on Los Angeles and consists of a mixture of ritzy downtown areas and the gangland ghettos of South Central. San Fierro is based on San Francisco, reproducing the real city's hilly terrain and ever-present fog. The game's third city is Las Venturas, which is a great take on early-'90s Las Vegas, complete with a strip full of casinos and the surrounding desert. While one-to-one measurements against previous games in the series are difficult in practice, San Andreas definitely feels like a much, much larger place than Vice City ever did, but at the same time, the growth is handled intelligently. There are plenty of things to do both in and out of the cities, which makes all this real estate matter. While Grand Theft Auto III was inspired by movies like The Godfather and Vice City took several pages from the Scarface playbook, San Andreas draws its inspiration from the ghetto and gangsta struggle films of the early '90s. Movies like Menace II Society and Boyz N the Hood are the clear influences here. In San Andreas, you play the role of Carl "CJ" Johnson. The game opens with Carl returning to Los Santos after spending the last five years in GTA III's Liberty City. But his homecoming isn't a happy one--he's returning home because his mother has been killed. Carl isn't on the ground for more than an hour before he's picked up by a pair of crooked cops and thrown right back into the middle of the street life he left Los Santos to avoid. Your first order of business in Los Santos is to put your set back on the map. Your gang, the Grove Street Families, has fallen into disarray over the last five years, and their influence is minimal at best. So you, along with the three other leaders of the gang--the long-winded Big Smoke, the dust-smoking Ryder, and your stubborn brother, Sweet--set out to take back the streets from your rivals, the Ballas, who have turned to dealing crack to earn money and gain influence in the hood. You set out on a series of missions to take back your territory, starting small with things like spray-painting over other gangs' tags (which is one of the many new types of actions that replace previous GTA games' more-generic hidden package collecting here), but quickly moving up to drive-bys and other acts of extreme gangsterism. But there's a whole lot more to San Andreas than just set tripping. Just when you think you're getting used to gang warfare, everything goes sour. We're certainly not interested in spoiling the game's many interesting plot twists, so we'll leave out the details, but it should suffice to say that you'll eventually need to get the heck out of Los Santos. You wind up in the country outside the city, where you'll encounter many more great characters and officially embark on your quest to put right what's gone wrong. Once you get out of Los Santos, you won't really have to worry about gang warfare for a while, and the game settles down into a more GTA-like feel. The San Andreas story is well written and packs in some really great surprises that tie this game to the previous GTA games. Like the previous games in the series, San Andreas features a fairly linear story that takes you through the game's areas. You'll start off restricted to Los Santos--something the story justifies by claiming that an earthquake has taken out the bridges and roads that link Los Santos to the surrounding area--but it doesn't take long to unlock the other two areas. The game also throws in some pretty great surprises in the form of characters from previous entries in the series. These characters tie the GTA games together really nicely, so while San Andreas feels pretty different from the other games in the series, it still feels like you're playing in the same universe. As in the previous games, most of your progress is accomplished by completing missions for a variety of individuals. These missions are oftentimes similar to missions you've seen in previous games in the series. You'll drive people around, take out specific individuals (an early mission gives you the straightforward objective of beating up a crack dealer, for example), do drive-bys on your enemies, and so on. But as you proceed through the game, the missions get crazier and crazier. Along the way you'll pull off a daring casino heist, steal some wicked military hardware, "take care" of plenty of Mafia bozos, and much, much more. The missions in the game are a lot more exciting, on average, than they have been in some previous GTA games. Additionally, the game is a lot better at spelling out what, exactly, needs to be done. It does this with onscreen text that color-codes each specific piece of a mission differently. Yet while the basics of the gameplay--taking on and completing missions--are similar to past GTA games, there are plenty of details to uncover, and plenty of new things to try.
