GRAND THEFT AUTO: SAN ANDREAS, OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK BOX SET:

This 8 CD Set is the indispensable companion to GRAND THEFT AUTO: SAN ANDREAS. The 8 CD's are loaded with the music featured inside the game.

About the Game: Five years ago Carl Johnson escaped from the pressures of life in Los Santos, San Andreas, a city tearing itself apart with gang trouble, drugs and corruption. Where filmstars and millionaires do their best to avoid the dealers and gangbangers.

Now, it’s the early 90s. Carl’s got to go home. His mother has been murdered, his family has fallen apart and his childhood friends are all heading towards disaster. On his return to the neighborhood, a couple of corrupt cops frame him for homicide. CJ is forced on a journey that takes him across the entire state of San Andreas, to save his family and to take control of the streets.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the next installment in the blockbuster franchise that has redefined interactive entertainment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Where's the rest of the music?, December 15, 2004

Rockstar did an amazing job of compiling a lot of great music for this game, but they haven't released it all. I'm not sure why, but lots of songs are left out of the soundtrack. For instance, Radio Los Santos is only represented by six songs on the soundtrack, even though there are 16 in the game; not to mention that Radio Los Santos was combined with Playback, which is only represented with 5 songs on the soundtrack. Why didn't they each have their own disc, like the rest of the radio stations? The quality is great. The commercials are hillarious. Why didn't they include all the music? The soundtrack box set could have and would have been a lot better if they hadn't omitted a lot of great music. I would rather have purchased CDs of individual radio stations, if they were to include all of the songs from the game.

2.0 out of 5 stars Where's All The Good Music?, December 9, 2004

I pre ordered this thing thinking that I would be blown away. When I saw the updated track lists and found out all of SF-UR was missing I just about died. Plus music like the track you do the Low rider too and the Stone Roses, Playing with the Queen of Hearts.....? All missing. Granted that Vice City was missing some music but not enough to warrant a complaint. The hard core HIp Hop was also missing. I think this soundtrack wasn't very strong to begin with. Plus the versions of some of the songs aren't the same as in the game. Roy Ayers Running Away is a louder version on the game off of a different album. Overall it's cool to have for bragging rights but not quite what I was hoping for I was hoping for Hans Oberland and his House Music.

i've been playing san andreas since early november and i'm close to beating it. i love hip hop but you would have to be crazy to just stick with radio los santos. after a while i got bored with those songs so i went to the r and b stations but got bored with that too. i started listening to pretty much any station after a while and it's funny cause the songs grow on you. my cousin was clowning me cause of some of the music i would listen to while on a mission but after a while you have to venture out while playing this game or you'll go crazy. it is a shame how they skimmed down the los santos music in this box set but i must admit that some of this music still sounds pretty good to me.maybe all the hours of playing this game just brainwashed me.
