Gta: San Andreas my review

[mikethyninja 0]

Huh, interesting hearing the EXACT SAME REPLIES! I mean we know we like the game but that review wasnt quite accurate. Now here is some good and bad stuff about the game, you only heard the game.The good-Lots of land to discoverLots of suff to drive, ride, and stealGun skills that can get annoying to someNow the rest im going to talk about in sentance form. Now we all loved the random arrival of a rpg in a city stealing cars and things like that. Now GTA 3 was great, GTA Vice City was better and GTA SA was a little better. They may have done well with what I listed but now there are about the same amount of weapons, and they screwed all kid gamers for life. They had to -fudge- it all up with that god damn mod! They made it so now all M rated games are completely restricted to kids under 17! And now they added skills! WOO HOO! LETS COMPLETELY RUIN THE ORIGINALITY OF THE GAME!!! And the whole "ghetto experiance"... NO! All they do is throw you in as a black guy stick you in "the hood" and then have a couple rival gangs, woop-ee-dee-doo. They still need to fix that whole, cops find you anywhere you go, and the landscape is huge. Almost annoying! They put all this "character creation" thing with people. Tell you the truth its just the same thing. You can see its your guy in another suit. The hair cuts are all "ghetto". Which is pretty annoying. Another thing is the eating thing. You have to eat once every---30 minutes. Wow! REALISTIC! And for all you GTA fans who are ticked off because of the new style of the game------which is the exact same one as lets say...Dark Stone mixed with the freedom of Morrowind with cars and that stuff.------Another thing I hate is how your ALWAYS ABLE TO KILL THE GANGSTERS!!! You walk up with your .45 and pop them in the head and then you killed them! So if you want one of my personal favorite games that are like GTA games only more realistic, its definitely Mafia for the PC or whatever, just not Gamecube or PS1 or you know.This is my first post and I hope it was good. Im telling opinion not fact so see you guys later! and in other posts.

i will buy it! It is a very great game. 6 times larger than vice city

There is pretty much one thing left that is fun at the end of the game. And that would be the Hydra. Maybe modding street racer cars too...

[Saint_Michael 3]

whos heard of the coffecup mod for this game, its a bonus where you get to score with a lady, but in order to do this you have to have the first versions of the game since they edited it out due to the graphic images of sex and nudity.

Ok, I need help with this game. I completed it and am currently just messing around. I noticed though that the Leviathan, the helicopter you get for the level "Up, Up, and Away" that responds at the Airplane grave yard, its doesnt have the crane feature anymore. It had it in the level and is supposed to have it now. Whats up with that. It also says that its supposed to be there in the game book. Can someone answer my question please, it would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
