discuss this great game here...

Picked this up at EB around 7pm, had to work till 9 but I got on it as soon as I got home. I've been playing and messing around for about 5 hours now.... and let me tell you: THIS GAME FUCKING ROCKS YOUR WORLD!!! There is so much shit to do; I've already ridden a bicycle, been to the barber shop and gotten a different hairstyle, gotten some clothes so I can sport my gangs colors, eaten some food to fill health, went to the gym to work out, done a multi-man drive-by... plus there is all sorts of cool shit that I haven't done yet. From looking at the control configurations, at some point there will be cars with NAWZ! you can SWIM in this game (instead of drown), plus FRs handle like FRs now... if you let off the gas and turn and then mash it at the exit, you'll get a little squirly and powerslide the turns (and that's just with the low class cars like buicks and stuff). I've done donuts at the end of my street too, so I'm sure drifting will be totally possible with more powerful cars. I've seen flashing lights that weren't after me, some other car was being chased by the popos. And man let me tell you, when I was there picking it up some mother was buying it for her kid who was like 10 years old or so... I was wondering how the hell he talked her into that, and now after playing it... I got a STRONG feeling that if mom even hears this game she's gonna take it away from him. Ten minutes in and I lost count of how many times the word 'fuck' was used! And one of your homies is almost always seen toking on a fat blunt. One other thing to mention is that the player's guide (which I'm not currently using, but I got just because it was discounted when purchased with the game) is about 3 times as thick as the Vice City guide. That should give you a little insight as to how in-depth this game will truly be.

Cliff's notes: This game pwns, if you don't already have it... GO GET IT NOW!

this fucking rules! there are built in video games. in your house there is like a Sega Saturn in the corner and you can play a game that resembles Tempest on it. and in some bar somewhere there are 2 arcade machines that you can play. plus I'm sure there are many more strewn throughout SA...

in about 2 years like vice city did....i thought i could do with just an xbox but all the games I kept wanting were on ps2 with no hopes for xbox for a long time. Soooooooooooooooooooooo I have both now and it's pretty sweet.

probably not for a very long time, if ever. xbox sucks and should have never had the gta franchise to begin with. rockstar and sony had an exclusive deal for it, but bill gates wallet has to much money in it, so rockstar gave in to the microdork and his gaybox.
Despite what you say the Xbox is better in every way and Xbox 2, which will be out next year, will be lightyears ahead of anything you have ever seen. It will also come out before PS3 and Gamecube 2 so be prepared to see Xbox 2 take over the Japanese market as well.

I agree xbox is decent. but its far too huge in every way... controlers are massive, and for the size of the box? might as well get a PC that runs better and faster anyway. And the fact that XBOX2 is coming out before everything else doesn't mean its going to be awesome, it means it's going to suck donkey balls. All they want is your money, and for whatever technology and good graphics they have... Sony will have all the more time to perfect the PS3 and make it that much better. For the same reasons that it's taken them more than 5 years to make another Gran Turismo. sure they could have put out a GT4 back in 2002, but it would have sucked. That's why Sony is waiting on the PS3 release, so they can top whatever the gaybox2 will have. Also take for example the overload of sucky street racing games that are flowing out now; NFSU was pretty good, but Namco thought they could make something better... so they threw together SRS (which is a little better in certain ways, but the car selection sucks) and released it quickly so they could make money. We could go ON AND ON about how much I hate the gaybox, but this is my thread on GTA... if you want to have a Sony/Microsoft battle, start another thread and I'll happily tear bill gates a new one all day long.

STAY ON TOPIC! SAN ANDREAS OWNS ALL GTA GAMES TO DATE!
