IGN review is in. 9.9/10.0

"I'm not going to beat around the bush. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the single best PlayStation 2 title I have ever played."

Hmm...I get the impression that this is a good game.

thought about picking it up today. but not in a very gta mood right now. i dunno. Too many games right now. i'd like to pick up R&C3, thought about jak3, then theres MGS3, ...hmm. lot of 3's it seems.. HL2 for pc...and GT4 in december. Altho i know this GTA to be much better, i just cant knock the feeling that after i explore the entire city and do many chases, it'll go the way of my other GTA's.... i just never liked doing the missions. We'll see.

Anywho tho, i'd of had no probs finding it if i was gunna get it. i saw quite a few copies in a couple stores. Which was obvious tho, they always say you wont get one unless you reserve, and theres always more then enough to go around. stores just do that to make sure they get your sale. theres no way they'd just happen to make enough copies for reserves and nothing else, they make more then enough.

[EDIT] perhaps i'll try the buy 2 games and get this one free if they have it. lol. im suprised TRU hasnt already 'taken it off shelves'

My God....less than two hours till I get it!

I've played about an hour and a half's worth so far. 30 people were in line at EB...and these are all people with preorders.

So far, so good...so amazing...voice acting is terrific, they really spare no expense in the language department (you become quite familiar with the f and n words right from the beginning)

Did this come out for PC yet? I can't find the PC review. I thought it was originally a PC game. Seems funny PS2 would get it first now. Oh well, maybe I'm mistaken. I have to get for PC though since I don't have a PS2. I assume the score will be equal or greater than the PS2 score so I guess it doesn't really matter.

Joeiss · 10-25-2004, 11:03 PM

It will probably be out on PC in about a year.

I'm going to Zellers and 2 different walmarts tomorrow.. I hope I can get it.

Acebot44 · 10-25-2004, 11:05 PM

On the drive to Gamestop, I could see the line from the main street, turned around, and went home. No way I'm waiting in line for a game

.......I hope they dont sell off my pre-order though

DeathsHand · 10-25-2004, 11:40 PM

I hope to pick the game up next week... Apparently EBgames tonight had 4 copies left for people who didn't pre-order the game, I didn't have 50 bucks though... So sad...

Paycheck on Friday thooough can't wait...

Why does it seem funny that PS2 would get it first? It's gotten GTAIII and ViceCity first, not to mention the PSone got the original GTAs...

One of my co-workers was talking to Rockstar today and they currently have no plans to bring GTA:SA to PC or Xbox. Although they made sure to note that it would be a good possibility that they will sometime in 2005...(we all know they will).

Joeiss · 10-26-2004, 03:01 PM

I picked this game up today around noon at Futureshop. They had about 100 copies at my location, lol.

SICK game.. it is absolutely huge... huge....

odd considering they already mentioned a PC version months ago.

Rockstar will bring San Andreas to the PC next summer; no Xbox port on the horizon. -Gamespot

so... who is this co-worker talking to again?
