GTA: San Andreas :(

[BladeofAeons]

I got 53 bucks, enough to buy Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for either the PS2 or XB. The problem is I don't know which one to buy. I borrowed San Andreas for the PS2 from a friend around Christmas time and got my progress saved on my PS2 Memory Card (Im very, very far in the game.) But my cousin said the version on the Xbox has better graphics and has "extras". If you were me, which would you buy: the PS2 version or the XB version.

Well, it all depends on you really. I mean, it's either start all over, and get the "extra's" and the better graphics, or buy it for PS2, and continue from where you were. Personally, I'd go with the Xbox, considering that you have to start over, making the game longer to play, plus you also get the "extras", and the better graphics.

i'd go with XBOX. better graphics. period. not to mention i love xbox controller, and no need for memory cards, and i just love it.

I don't have an Xbox so Im not sure how much better the graphics are...but given the same situation I'd go with the XBox. It would be fun to replay the game to the point where you're at and you may find extra goodies you didn't the first time. 🙂

id recommend neither cause it gets boring easily i feel.

It is actually funny driving around, with your fav music on the radio.

You can build your character up a bit too, and it has some random events that make it even more replayable than vice city was.

Of course you need the right mind to enjoy it. 🙂

 

[Goodieluver]

True but like all games it gets repetitive quickly. Plus it gets annoyin when you have to do menial tasks like drive to the country to see yer Ho then drive back in to do some job

 

[Kalamos]

I actually like the driving part; of course when you are done with most of the secret stuff, it does get a bit repetitive. That's unavoidable. 🙂

But it still has some thrill for me, cause over pc you can listen to custom music, and it's fun roaming around to your fav tunes.

 

[Goodieluver]

custom music? Is that cuz u got the xbox version and able to load yer own music or u referin to the reg soundtrack

 

[Kalamos]

Over *pc*. I don't know about console versions. Over pc you can listen to your own mp3s. They even added commercials, in GTA SA, so the mp3 radio station would sound more immersive.

I don't think it matters whether or not you upload your own music into the game or not. It gets old, and the only thing you can really do on the game and still have fun is get into a plane, fly as high as you can and than jump out and parachute to safty.

I had fun with a friend once. We were playing 2players and we got into a plane, I got as high as we could and told him that when you enter a plane you automatically get a parachute... He bought it... lol!

Well... it matters to me! 😀 😀 😀

It keeps it from becoming completely predictable - at least, it kept Vice City from.
I even started it all over again from 0%, so I could complete the side missions before tackling the main plot.

Can't tell about SA, yet.

So, far, it seems fine, with its foibles.

For example, as others already pointed out, CJ is nowhere as personable as Tommy Vercetti was.
I mean, he had attitude in spades, had a psychotic streak about him, and wasn't that clichèd as an italian mafia man.

Poor CJ is half as old, twice as meek, and tenfold as moronic: he actually begged Catalina not to kill him!
SHOW SOME FREAKING GUTS, CJ!
You are supposed to be a street gangster, not some pansy assed poser boy, fool!

Of course, if somebody manages to finish it to 100%, I bet SA becomes stale!
I mean, Vice City was big, and it was just one city...
SA is so huge you can actually lose your bearings!

I really wish they had done a better navigation system - but all in all, riding about in a Freeway bike, listening to my fav tunes, makes for a nice, albeit virtual, easyrider-like experience. 🙂
