Strengths: Honest
Weaknesses: Can't think of one
Summary: My game seem to of came with the original seals and wraps but I find odd that my game didn't come with a manual. It only had the disk and the Map. All other GTA games had maps and a manual. I like having it because it shows all the listings of all the soundtacks and oldies songs of each radio station in the game.

Strengths: Great action and graphics.
Weaknesses: There are none that I can see.
Summary: I purchased this game for my 17 year old son. He had rented it and loved it. It was cheaper to purchase it then to rent it over and over. He has the other Grand Theft Auto games and says this is the best one yet. He can't wait to see what they'll come up with next.

Strengths: Great graphics. Very user-friendly. Fun to play.
Weaknesses: None.
Summary: I got this as X'mas gift for my son. I ended up being hooked on it too. Graphics are mind-boggling. The action is super packed. Although there's a significant amount of violence, it is very entertaining to a mature person who understands this is just a game -- nothing more. This game provides lots of hours of fun. Well worth the price that I paid for it. Made at least two people very happy!

Strengths: Everything
Weaknesses: Graphics
Summary: This is one of the best games for ps2. It improves by adding numerous things to the previous versions of GTA. The game is so long and the state is so large that it will take you around a hundred hours to beat it. It's well worth the money.

Strengths: Tons of things to do, great story, fun gameplay, tons of customization, good graphics.
Weaknesses: Almost too much to do, little bits of slowdown, textures loading slowly when moving fast.
Summary: The next iteration of the GTA series arrives and promises much more to do than ever before. With estimates of time to complete every being in the 200 hour range, you'll certainly not have enough to do for most of the game. Many new vehicles, weapons, clothing, hairstyles, and more to customize and make your own. The new environments are ertainly huge with three new cities that easily dwarf Vice City and Liberty City as you can explore the state of San Andreas.

I've noticed some small bit of slowdown, though nothing that ruins the game at all. When you're moving very fast via cars, planes, or whatever, you can notice that textures don't load up quick enough as you smash into some invisble wall only to see that it turns into a huge building. These things aside, it's a very fun game that lets you tackle it in any way you want. Make sure to set aside a large chunk or free time for this game, because you'll definitely need it.

Strengths: Great voice actors that this game has, James Woods, Samuel L Jackson, Chris Penn, and Ice T.
Weaknesses: The graphics, while certainly aren’t horrible, look pretty poor. This is probably due to the fact that Playstation 2 can't perform great Anti-Analising. The framerate is absolutely horrible.
Summary: The outstanding gameplay and audio features more than make up for the mediocre graphics and story. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a game that you will more than likely enjoy and be addicted to even if you only play for ten minutes. The graphical problems are still present but are not as bad, so they don't detract from the experience enough to make them a problem. Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is a game that is instantly a timeless classic, and probably will not be surpassed by any other game coming out this year.

Strengths: You can swim!!
Weaknesses: None that I have found.
Summary: 2005-02-03 12:07:06 This games blows GTA: Vice City away. There are three huge cities to explore plus a roaming countryside. There are numerous, different planes, which fly much better than older versions and parachutes for bailing out. This game is loaded with extras, more mini-games, including a BMX biking challenge. Overall this games is well worth the time and money.

Strengths: Go anywhere do anything play. (after you complete many missions)
Weaknesses: Couple of odd bugs although nothing serious
Summary: I have been playing this game from day 1 and recently decided on purchasing it (along with several other games I like). This game has been great fun. Some missions more challenging than others but all very completable. I have had a great deal of difficulty with the last mission and must admit I had to use my Action Replay Max Evo to finish the level. I do believe I could have finished it on my own with enough patience, but it is a bit of a long level and starting over was getting to be a chore.

Regardless of the last level, I have enjoyed MANY hours just flying around trying to dodge jets flying the “harrier like” jet.

This game offers great replay value and is fun almost infinitely. I highly recommend this game to any mature adult who can deal with the violent content. It is really a great game.

Strengths: Free Form gameplay, great length, more that great GTA gameplay.
Weaknesses: graphics, load times
Summary: This is just the best gta ever. If you have never played a grand theft auto game before you don't know wait you are missing. The gta formula lets you do anything at any time and everything form Jak 2 to ssx3 has copied this formula. San andreas involves california in the early 90's. You even have real music to cruise to. Just buy it, and say good bye to everyone you know until you finish it, it is THAT GOOD!!!

Strengths: WoW! Thats all i can say. This game has it all, basketball playing, haveing gang member join your cause, various weapons and missions. One of the best RPGs ever.
Weaknesses: Can get a little old doing hard missions over and over and... Also the missions are a little repetetive.
Summary: Another great rockstar game! I am very impressed with the graphics (even on my 62 inch tv). More RPG like than the predecessors, you can nearly go anywhere on the city. You can improve your skillz in weaponry, girl friends, working out, what more would you want. Like the fact that you can have your own turf, and have to protect it with your homies, which you can drive with in your car. Hydrolics in the car is sick.

Strengths: Swimming and climbing are new, sound track is awesome. You can have girlfriends in the game.
Weaknesses: The flying is really hard to pass. A tip: don't forget to raise your landing gear. I don't think the auto targeting is as good as Vice City. But the game is still way bigger and better.
Summary: If you liked Vice City you'll like this game. Its way bigger with three cities. If you thought Vice City was a challenge be prepared to be challenged even more. Worth the money!
