How good is it!?!?!?!?!?

Well, i thought i may as well get a discussion going about it to liven up this place.

My only beef with the game is that it took me forever to find out how to play 2-player, and there isn't an invincibility cheat, and you can't fit two people in a tank and the user manual is pretty vague. Other than that, a sweet game.

What you guys think?

I think its a great game but I still havent figured out how to do the two player thing :(. I also like the fact that they didnt make the whole eating thing really important. I like how your weapon skill upgrades too.

Jiggy, to get to the 2 player option you have to go to idlewood. Open up the map, hit 'x' then scroll until you see Idlewood. You'll be looking for a place just beside a bridge. You go through an archway, then jump over a fence. You will then see a red icon with 2 figures. Walk over the icon and follow the on-screen instructions.

I reckon it's got heaps of major improvements, such as -
  • San Andreas is HUGE, about 4 times larger (If not more) than Vice City.
  • More realistic, people on the street talk to you and you can reply positively or negatively.
  • You can grab 'homies' and go for a drive-by.
  • Tons of stats to upgrade, from Stamina to Weapon/Driving skill.
  • You can change your hair, clothes and other minor things as you please.
  • Can have gang wars over territory, and you can gain/lose territory if you don't defend yours (Yes they attack your territory now & then).
  • More vehicles, including a bicycle.
  • The rain actually looks like rain.
  • You can get a girlfriend and you have to please her. Hell, she sometimes wants to go on a drive-by! (Crazy girl!)

And that's not even half of what i have noticed and i've only played it for 8 hours (So don't reply with things spoiling it, please) and i haven't progressed THAT far, because i am uber newb.

I LOVE this game, all the new features and the HUGE world. Plus i love the setting and time period with all the customization. Also, when driving around, since the world is soo big, it allows like different types of scenery, say like if you drive out of the compton/L.A style Los Santos, you will end up in the middle of nowere on a two way road leading to a small redkneck town with redneck people, great varity. BTW Right now im in san fierro doing the missions for the pimp, all without cheating once :p

Its a good game to play, but with the limited time I get to play it, I won't be done with it for a while.

Hmm, I've never really been in to the GTA series but this one looks like the best one that has come out so far. I will probably play it at some point.

Best game I have ever played:

Some Things Ren left out:
Way more things to collect and find to keep you busy
You can pick up girls again for a quicky

Wow, you mean there is an actual 2 player mode? Do you just run around with a split screen?

I got it and its a cool game, it is huge and etc. Flying the planes is fun too, the clouds look real.

And I have a friend just like that vulgar mexican chick lol :p

The game keeps you too busy. Roaming time is limited. Especially in the beginning you have so much to do. A minor flaw, it's still a great game. The replay value is definately higher than Vice City.
