I hadn't seen anybody else talking about the 360, so i thought i'd add this. This game is compatible with the 360 and it is awsome! The black and white buttons on the xbox map to the "bumpers" on the 360, so all works quite well. This game is one of the most addictive games i've ever played. I highly recommend it for adults and mature teens who are already desensitised to gangs and violence.

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...

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.

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 one of the funnest games ever made. I've played this game from the time i woke up til the time I went to sleep at night taking time just to snack. If you have a PS2, Xbox, or PC you should definately buy this game, you probably won't be disapointed. I'm not going to comment on any rating stuff, but I like what Reviewer: "Cookies Yes, Crumbs No" said about it. Anyway, buy it now.

I didn't even start playing this game until after I beat GTA IV when a friend recommended I check out some of the earlier games in the series. It's absolutely phenomenal! If you can deal with the certainly less-than-spectacular graphics when compared to current popular games (especially GTA IV), I promise you'll have a blast! There are actually many more side missions and fun things to do in this game than GTA IV. Even after beating the main storyline, you'll still have hours upon hours of extra tasks that you can complete. Rockstar should have remade this game for GTA IV. A must buy!!

I want to echo Jesse's comment below about playing this epic on XBOX 360. I played San Andreas on the PS2 over the more advanced XBOX version years ago because at the time the PS2 controller was superior for sandbox games.

I now have a large screen HDTV, and really wanted to see what it was like to play a superior version of the game with XBOX 360 controller - which now has the bumper buttons mapped to the PS2 bumper buttons exact.

As millions of fans can attest, this may be one of the greatest games ever made. Although the graphics pale in comparison to XBOX 360 titles, there isn't a single game in the XBOX 360 library that can top the fun and game-play experience that is San Andreas. Oblivion is an amazing experience that was maybe the most satisfying game I ever played. However, there is something about San Andreas that makes it the most fun game of all time and playing it on the XBOX 360 makes it seem like a brand new experience.

Also, in spite of what some review sites mention, the XBOX version of the game is superior to the PS2 version in every single category, especially for the graphics, load times, and 5.1 Dolby sound. Playing this game on the XBOX 360 sheds a whole new light on the accomplishments that this title achieved.

The only caveat is that the game is extremely violent and contains graphic language. This game can only be recommended for adults and folks who are not turned off from the mature theme.

Aside from that, this game deserves its place next to the all-time greats of the past few years: Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, Ninja Gaiden Black, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, and God of War 1 & 2.

Rockstar, rockstar, rockstar. This game is simply unimaginable the landscape is HUGE way bigger than any of the other games, trailing through the hick countryside to vegas, to the ghetto to like a mountainy desert. More cars, bikes, planes, helicopters, bicycles, a tractor, a bulldozer, a huge dumptruck etc, etc and even a lawnmower!!!!!!! You can now eat, you can now swim, shop for clothes, dance at clubs, highjack trains, fly with a jetpack, have assets on property, descend with a parachute.... seriously people the list goes on and on into eternity. If you own any system you should by this game, it will not dissapoint you.

Wow. This is easily one of the best games Ive ever played. There is so much to do and see its staggering. Every little thing you think you should be able to do you can. Ever see a tv in a game and wish you could play a video game on it? You can in San Andreas. This is the most complex game ever made. The actual gunplay could have been better but is way better then previous GTA games. The graphics kinda suck but who plays GTA for the graphics? I dont. All in all, this is a must have if you like action/racing games.

Presintation-10-The State of San Andreas is presented flawlessly. There are so many little things you can do its incredible.

Graphics-7-They suck. But who cares? The draw distance is impressive and theres tons of stuff onscreen at once. Animation is good too.

Sound 9.5- Gun sounds are weak but thaty the only trife I have with it. Some truly hilarious radio stations.

Gameplay-9.5- A HUGE open world to discover, lots of little stuff to do, fun shooting, great driving. Really great.

Replay-9.5-You will want to play through it many times and it will feel fresh because of how big the game is.

Overall-9.7

The Only difference between the original version and version 2.0 is the "hot coffee" mod has been taken out. Beside that, everything is exactly the same as the original one. It is not child-friendly in anyway, but that'a not a bad thing when it comes to Grand Theft Auto. Defintely a must have
