GTA - San Andreas

[The Tuffen]

As its out on friday I thought i'd see who was looking forward to it.

It sounds like it's going to be brilliant espec seeing as its supposed to be huge.

[Hetman_Koronny]

Well, I've just finished reading IGN's review... It's a...

9.9/10

Link

WOW , that's the highest score I've ever seen. But I guess the game deserves all of it. I am a big fan of the series and used to spend tons of hour playing Vice City so I have been eagerly awaiting San Andreas. It's a PS2 only now and I am forced to wait till next year when PC ver is released...

[Ism8000]

Cant wait to play this hope they added more story the atmosphere in vice city was great bad ending though well untill it comes to Pc I guess ill be playing BattleF2 and Recon2

[The Tuffen]

After playing San andreas for most of the afternoon i have to say it is excellent. I've not even got out of the first city and I have to say it is HUGE, cant wait to get access to the other 2.

I would reccomend it to anybody who likes the previous GTA games.

[Hurin_Rules]

Please tell me this is coming to Xbox?

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

The game is one of the best i have ever played. The radio is as cool as ever and just about to embark on a two player jaunt. What a game this is

It isn't planned at the moment to my knowledge but as with Vice City it will prob come to Xbox eventually although it'll prob be on PC before the Xbox.

The radio is great although i prefered the Vice City soundtrack. Havn't tried te two player bit (havn't found a place to do it) Let us know what the two player bit is like.

I love the bikes and they r my main mode of transport as you can get to most places on one (and they r great for speeding down the train lines - my main way of getting around Los Santos)

Still havn't opened the other cities but can't wait too.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Me and me brother found the two player thing near an arch way near the overhead motorway near your hideout.

With four gangmembers we were created maybe before the police rushed us in force.

I have also noted the how crazy the motorway is man, the cars will not stop and the piles up are fantastic

[The Tuffen]

I've noticed that cars don't tend to stop on the motorway which means getting a car on one is quite fun, although if i want to get anywhere in Los Santos i usually drive down the train lines.

I have to say that i've grown quite used to just using motorbikes, they r definatly my favorite vehicle (although when i get helicopters they will prob be my fav).

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Yesterday with the armour and health cheats(i know ) i managed to get to the mountain on the left of the map with the police in hot pursuit( we all know you can't reach certain areas unless ceratin missions are completed, and if you try the wanted level goes to four stars)

I got right to the top, got the parachute at the top and threw myself off, and for some reason the parachute would not open until the last moment when i when splat near the bottom

[The Tuffen]

Havn't tried parachuting (didn't even know you could). At the moment i'm just takin over Los santos, i've managed to knock the balleras (sp) down to only 9 territories although i havn't started to take on the other gang yet.

What do you do in the two player sections? (forgot to ask last time)

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I heard that it is possible to hijack airplanes and fly them into buildings...

Might upset some people.

[IrishMike]

You could do that in Vice City, mabey not on the same scale, but you still could with the puddle jumper on there. So I don't think it will upset people to much.

[Leet Eriksson]

I got the game for a while now, i'll just tell you, never steal jets, or a harrier will come and shoot you down

If you want a plane early, hope the fence, no need for flight school or whatever.

[metatron]

I found a parachute by accident. Jumped off, opened, then hit triangle with a grin.

I miraculously survived my several hundred feet acceleration into the concrete.

I've stolen a jet and only had a jet hunt me down when i flew over las venturas when i wasn't supposed to (it gets you a automatic 4 star wanted rating if you go anywhere where you havn't opened up properley).

Planes are alrite, prob not as fun as helicopters (havn't tried them yet as when i found one it was locked )

I've got a couple of questions:

1:Where is the pilot school?
2:Where do you get parachutes and where can you parachute from?

[Leet Eriksson]

Dunno where i would find the parachute or the pilot school, but if your still in Los Santos, and near the airport, park any car next to the building near the fences and hop over your vehicle then over the building then jump over the fence.

And btw check any police stations bathroom it has a plastic "toy" that kills people with 2 hits

Hehe, i've heard about the "toy" before. Will have to check it out when i find a police station.

I've already started flying without going to the pilot school but I want to to get my pilots license as there are helicopters in the san fierro airport that i wont to fly but can't as when i get up to them their locked.

Oh and i've found a parachute at the top of Mt Chilliad.

[Orda Khan]

My son hasn't stopped playing since he got it......and all I hear now is motherbleeping this, motherbleeping that, bleep you motherbleeper...

It does look more of a storyline this time, he is currently playing some pool hustler in a bar as I type

......Orda

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Got myself a Harrier and a Jet-Pack...about to cause some MAJOR carnage!

[The Tuffen]

how have you got a Harrier?

Whats the jet pack like?

I'm having fun with the parachute, Its great fun jumping out of planes with one on.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Just keep playing, you'll get them soon enough.

[Bob the Insane]

I'm having fun with the parachute, Its great fun jumping out of planes with one on.

Less fun without one I imagine...

[The Tuffen]

Depends what mood i'm in. Although i've heard on another forum that if you jump out of a plane into water you don't get hurt. Havn't tried it myself but will test it later on after work.

edit:have tried it and it's possible to not kill yourself by parachuting into water.

[Squirrel_of_hatred]

i will be returning this game or trading it in its just to god dang ugly radio is awful im a big fan of the other 2 games however i think they went wrong trying to make the area to big and watered down the game any how what would you lads recommed i trade this game in for im a big rtw and raven shield fan.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Are you serious?

[IrishMike]

( looks at screen, reads post, feels dizzy, passes out in horror) Never noticed the radio being that bad, but if you think so. Sad news though.

I tried jumping off a plane without a parachute at a low altitude, i miraculously didn't die

i landed in las venturas, well not really landed but crash landed while i bailed, i already had a 4 star threat in the air, so the police swarmed me when i was in Las Venturas becuase i think i'm not supposed to be here until its "unlocked" of sorts... anyways it was fun while it lasted

[The Tuffen]

I have to say that the radio is a little dissapionting this time round. Would of loved more than one talk radio station as I quite enjoyed the ones off Vice City (also doesn't help that WCTR isn't as good as the ones of vice city)

[Piccard]

how do you parachute. im on a mission where i have tp parachute onto the target but i dont know what button to press to parachte out!! help please.

also to get your plane liscense you first buy the airfield in las ventures for $80000.
