Product Description
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas brings back the incredible action of the hit game series. Carl Johnson left the San Andreas neighborhood of Los Santos five years ago, when it was being ripped apart by drugs and gang violence. When he returns in the early 90s, his mother has been killed, his family has fallen apart and his childhood friends are criminals. When crooked cops frame him for murder, he decides to save himself and his family by taking over the streets. Advanced role-playing elements -- Unlike previous GTA characters, Carl can swim and he needs to eat to survive Side missions help develop skills that come into play later -- from working out at the gym to gambling in a casino

 Sex good; violence bad October 17, 2005

How is it our country is so messed up to allow such a violent game be sold then pull it off the shelves because of a little sex scene. I walk up to the old grannies in the game, stop them into a bloody mess then track bloody foot prints (or tire tracks) as I leave. But show two consenting adults having sex and the game gets pulled. Sex is not illegal. The violence is. I think it is totally bassackwards. The game is sweet either way, for adults anyway. I need to get GTA 3.

This is by far the best game I've ever played. Sure, it's so inappropriate it's laughable, but that's not the point. This is a revolutionary game, with probably one of the biggest worlds ever made in videogames. The radio is amazing, the story makes sense, and even though it's a GTA game, it still has family values. CJ tries to find out who killed his mom with his brother as they bring the Grove Street Families back from the grave. Excellent!
PS: To the kid who wrote the review about this game, with all due respect you really don't know what you're talking about mate. People don't buy this game because it teaches them great values, they buy it because it's a great game. It's not like after beating this game, I'm gonna go grab an AK-47 and go on a police massacre. Also, it says 'A Kid's Review'. That means you're under 13. This game is for 17 year olds and up...
 Too much fun in da hood... September 21, 2005

Welcome to Vinewood, the San Andreas version of Hollywood. Don't worry, I'm sure the Orange Street Grove clan will make you feel right at home. They might even have a little lady to make you feel cozy....well, at least in Version 1.0. But this is Version 2.0, and no Hot Coffee tricks in this one. Come on, with a name like "Hot Coffee" you know that Rockstar was behind those shenanigans, and not some "Shock-Hacker."
But, to tell you the truth, I was not even remotely interested in trying to figure out how to make the "hot coffee" mod work. I'm just glad they have this back on the shelves, cuz I was getting tired of not being able to drive around, kill and destroy, and rack up major cash money for picking up new cribs and buying beautiful lady's jewels and furs.
While, I do have the Version 1.0, still, I am glad that they cleaned it up. Shame on Rockstar for denying what was so obvious. But at least they did the right thing, recalled all the nasty versions, and put this one out.
For historical purposes, let me state the facts. This review was written after version 2.0 came out. The X-Box Version 1.0 came out in June, 2005, approximately 3 1/2 months ago. It was pulled from shelves approximately August 15. Version 2.0 was re-released approximately Saturday, September 17th (I saw it on store shelves on Saturday, and saw Amazon's listing on 9/20/2005) So when people see this review, and wonder why there are no other reviews before mine, that is why.
God bless you RockStar for fessing up, and for doing the right thing. I have major respect for you. Peace!
GREATEST GAME EVER MADE!!! September 25, 2005

I've beaten both versions of San Andreas (ps2/Xbox) and I can honestly say that it is the greatest game I've ever played. Anyone who disagrees with me has obviously never played it all the way through or they used cheats to do so. GTA San Andreas is all out amazing and blows any game out there away. That is of course until a new GTA game comes out for the Ps3 or Xbox 360. If you've never played a GTA game or you didn't like the other GTA games, you still have to play San Andreas.
 Well, at least Rockstar changed it... October 5, 2005

Between July and August, GTA San Andreas was taken of the store shelves for some "Bean experiment gone wrong" problem that enables players to use a mod known as "Hot Coffee" to make Carl Johnson(The main character of GTA San Andreas) have sex with his girlfriend. Although no genitals are exposed, you could see the girl's nipples. Since it got an AO rating, a rating most stores don't sell(since AO is equivalent to the movie rating X), nobody can buy it anymore except for ebay. Rockstar decided to patch the modification and make it have an M rating again so people could still buy it. Although they did the right thing, the GTA series is still a violent,innapropriate, and sick game. You kill old ladies, civilians, and police. There is a lot of sex, blood and gore, violence, strong language, sexual theme, drugs and alchohal, and suggestive themes that makes this game still innapropriate even with the patch. If you have children, keep them far, and I mean really far away from this monster. Even if you don't have kids, don't buy it. Nobody should be playing it at all, your age being 71, 13, 9, 43, or 28. This game truly is sick and is a monster. It teaches kids the opposite of good and to do bad. Heck, probably it even teaches adults that. So if you're looking for a game for adults, buy games from the Halo series, Doom series, the Resident Evil series, or Half Life series. If you're a teenager, buy games from the Jak and Daxer series, Ratchet and Clank series, the Halo series, or the Socom Series. If You're a kid, I reccomend games from the Super Mario Series, The Legend of Zelda series, or the Metroid Series. Well, that's my review. Hope it was helpful to you all, and for now, happy gameing!
