Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)

...caring soul). ** Grand Theft Auto is the Johnny Rotten of the games industry; in short, it’ll make some cringe and others crow. In truth, it’s just another videogame, but since GTAIII in 2001 (which moved this crime simulator into three dimensions), we have seen just how far games have come in such a narrow sliver of history. Sales records soared to the point of exceeding box office takings for Titanic; thousands of right wing & Christian column ...
...The objective of any Grand Theft Auto game has been fairly consistent; to start from nothing and accumulate cash and status in the big city. Whether this advancement assumed the form of drug running, Mafia-style assassinations or simply ignoring the main objectives and causing chaos, there were two overriding and perpetual factors – avoiding the over-zealous police, and avoiding death. Anything else was entirely your decision. In 2002, the GTA brand ...

Review of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)

...NUTSHELL (FOR THE LAZY)] Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the follow up to the heavily successful GTA3 and Vice City games in the series on the PS2. The game is crammed with masses of new features and mission variations. In this game you won’t play the somewhat loveable character of Tommy Vercetti like in Vice City but a streetwise Carl Johnson returning from Liberty City, the city GTA3 was based in. The story begins fairly slowly but builds up ...
...game I’m talking about is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. After the success of Vice City and GTA 3 rockstar games have returned with a vengeance with the biggest instalment of GTA ever. Beginning life as a 2d overhead view game on the PlayStation One Grand Theft Auto was released around 1996 or 1997 and created a lot of controversy. For the first time you were able to go round as a proper criminal. Killing helpless civilians, dealing drugs, getting ...

Review of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)

My review of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas was initially inspired by my boyfriends heartfelt need to ignore me since he bought the game and take over our television. I decided it must be a good game and so set about unsticking him from the control pad and settling myself in his seat. I must warn you before you read on that this is a long review, I didn’t want to miss anything out!! All the sections are headed so if you only want to read about certain ...
...Now, if you’ve played Grand Theft Auto games before or have witnessed your partners demise to such a game then you will have noticed a considerable improvement over the games. To me this one didn’t look any more impressive than its predecessor ‘Vice City’. The box is very similar and the graphics don’t seem to have improved much. I doubt that this is down to its creator, Rockstar Games but more to do with the capacity of the PS2, if another game ...

Review of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)

...Well the series of Grand Theft Auto started ten years ago now back in 1997 with the original game 'Grand Theft Auto' which was released for PC and PlayStation. This was a controversial success with the violent manner of the game both appealing to the younger age group who were not allowed it and worrying the older generatino you didn't want their children to have it. This is certainly still the way the same is seen today with it's violence not making ...
...3D version of the game: Grand Theft Auto III. The extra dimension added amazing realism in comparison to the previous two games and made it again very popular and it opened loads more doors of possibility for ways forward for the game. This is definitely something RockStar Games have done very effectively. They haven't just replicated the same game with different names and locations, they have added as much realism into the games as they could. ...

...will be, (unless Rockstar make grand theft auto even better in the next game). It is the biggest game, and the most realistic game there is. It will keep the player addicted to it's great storyline, and the player will also get to know the characters personally. The game contains hundreds of secrets, (more later), and will take ages to complete the game 100%. After writing about the main factors games, (gameplay, graphics, sound and lifespan), I ...

...but others not so successfully. Grand Theft Auto has long been one of my favourite games and I have avidly followed all the different releases of the game and played them end to end, with and without cheats. Rockstar Games latest major release is San Andreas, which was initially released on the PS2 but has since been released on both the PC and the Xbox. I am surprised about the delay in launching to PC and XBox as I always believed GTA was originally ...
...realisitc sounds. In summary, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is most definitely as big a game as it was cracked up to be. It has a massive timescale of play and there is always something you can do, even six months after you have completed it. If you have not already bought the game, do yourself a favour and go and buy it! You wont regret it! ...

...goes by the name of Grand Theft Auto. Back in 1997 the first GTA arrived in a blaze of controversy. It looked little like the game we know and love today being a top down 2D title. You played the part of a for-hire criminal attempting to make a name for himself. Working for a number of crime bosses you earned a reputation (and a stack of money) by completing a variety of missions. But it was the over-the-top violence in the game that caused it to ...
...followed but it wasn’t until Grand Theft Auto 3 hit the Playstation2 in 2001 that we saw significant changes. While the gameplay was kept much the same the series had gone fully 3D and we found ourselves let loose in a living, breathing Liberty City. Suddenly all the reckless killing and car-jacking familiar from the series took on a whole new slant when set in one of the most immersive environments ever seen in a video game.

Review of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)

I have played and loved ALL the GTA games. So you can imagine how excited I was when my Uncle had pre-ordered the game for my brother and I, and it came through the mailbox the day the game was released. Exited doesn't describe it. But anyway, I digress. Onto what will probably be my longest, and most detailed review yet! You play the game as Carl Johnson, or CJ as you will come to know him. CJ comes back home, as someone murdered his mom. Whilst ...
...for the murder of a fellow officer. Basically CJ is now Tenpenney's bitch. Not only that, but everyone in the 'hood hates CJ for leaving, and to make life that bit worse, a gang called the Ballas are trying to take over your turf, and well, they don't like you. Great. You start off the game being thrown headlong into it. I'm trying not to give anything away here, but Tenpenney thinks it's funny to dump you in Balla turf. Idiot. At this point in the ...

Review of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)

...I bought a game called Grand Theft Auto. For me it was fun, and for hours I amused myself by doing missions for cash, car jacking for the fun of it and generally doing other antisocial deeds. When the mission pack came out I got that. I also bought GTA 2, GTA 3 and Vice City. GTA and GTA 2 were top down affairs and while fun, they lacked that realism. GTA 3 went third-person and added that bit more realism. Again there was something lacking - you ...
...you could. You could also buy property and things, and interact a lot more. Still there was something missing. Personal skills, dating and doing stuff rather than just follow missions. San Andreas puts all that right. Now as a bit of a digression for anyone who was wondering where the names of the last 3 games come from I'll explain. In the original GTA there was 3 levels or in this case cities. They were Liberty City (loosely based around New York ...
