About this product

Product Information

Rockstar's classic mature-themed third-person shooter and mission-based driving game gets a fresh coat of sheen in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for 360. Ported from the updated tablet version of the game, the action is set in the early-'90s gang culture of "San Andreas," a fictional U.S. region modeled after California, the adventure plays out across the entire virtual state, with action centered in its three main cities: Los Santos (based on Los Angeles), San Fiero (San Francisco), and Las Venturas (Las Vegas).<br><br>Like its immediate predecessor, Vice City, San Andreas strives to provide a wide, deep foundation for its free-form criminal gameplay by setting the story in a slightly exaggerated representation of a familiar (if not glorified) American subculture. As Vice City seemed inspired by Miami Vice, and the pastel-decked, "me generation" ideals of the early '80s, San Andreas is set in a time and place suggested by films like Boyz N the Hood, Menace II Society, or Colors, where riots eventually brought a whole city to a halt and awakened new consciousness across the country.<br><br>Players take the role of a young man named Carl "C.J." Johnson, who thought he had escaped the gangland lifestyle by moving away from his Los Santos home. When his mother is murdered, he returns to the neighborhood of his childhood, only to become embroiled with threats and danger from all sides. Because of his family and friends who remained in Los Santos, he's considered an enemy-on-sight to rival gang members. Even worse, perhaps, the corrupt local law enforcement frames him for a crime he did not commit.<br><br>To clear his name and save his family, C.J. sets out on a long journey that will lead him all across the state. More than any earlier GTA game, San Andreas features strong elements of role-playing and character development, encouraging players to customize their version of C.J. as they play through his adventure on their own terms. Unlike the protagonist of GTA 3, or Vice City's Tommy Vercetti, C.J. isn't really working for some underworld organization or crime boss mastermind -- he's out to take care of himself and his own family. He is not driven by the immediate promise of wealth or promotion; his goals are far more personal. He must steer the direction of his exploits, to follow them to a satisfactory end.<br><br>Also in the theme of giving more control over the lead character's development, players will take care of C.J.'s day-to-day needs. Food presents the easiest way to replenish lost health, so when he is hungry, he'll need to eat -- perhaps at one of San Andreas' fast food chains, like "Cluckin' Bell" or "Burger Shot." If he doesn't eat enough, C.J. will become thin and weak, but too much fast food without any exercise will cause him to grow fat and slow. Players can also choose the clothes that C.J. wears, and have him get customized tattoos.<br><br>C.J. has to come up with any money he needs for these things on his own, however, since there won't always be some boss character waiting to pay him off as he completes his missions. One way to scratch up some quick cash is by robbing homes at night. When he jacks the right kind of van and puts on his ski mask, C.J. enters a stealth mode, and is more likely to be able to sneak into a house, nab some valuables, and head off to the local fence before the residents even wake up. <br><br>Overall, San Andreas is in the same format and style that won millions of fans for GTA 3 and Vice City, but it features a number gameplay adjustments and improvements. In addition to C.J.'s stealth mode, he can also swim; a wrong turn off the pier will no longer result in an instant trip to the emergency ward, and if all else fails, the protagonist may even be able to evade pursuers by taking a quick dip.

  • Top critical review

    This game looked good when Pam Anderson did, & sadly neither have aged well.

    This game is a weekend RENTAL at best, especially if you are remotely familiar with this games GTA successors. This games cut scene graphics are 20 fold weaker than the actual gameplay in quality titles as:GTA5, GTA 4, L&D,BoGT etc..... The voice overs are overly repetitive. The voice overs are repetitive. The vehicle collision detection is sub-par/inaccurate/inconsistent . The camera angles are as bad as Red Dead Revolver. The entire game is just .......sorta..............goofy. Worth maybe $5-but for an as-of-this-writing-at $15 purchase price, I feel shorted a bit. Save your earned bucks for any of the later GTA titles people. L8r CMWINSLO

  • Good classic game to have!

    I bought the GTA San Andreas for my Xbox 360. I use to play this game a lot in my teenage years and was my most favorite game. Also I just bought just for the hell of it and to play it to kill some time. Brought back old memories. I’m very pleased with my purchase!

  • San Andreas is the best game I've played and the tunes made me buy the soundtrack.

    Need to have update from xbox online to be able to play.....so alot of people are going to be disappointed when they realize it's not backwards compatible without internet? This is wrecking gaming for me and I never would have purchased xbox 1 knowing it was just the same as xbox360 but for online use. Very disappointed in Microsoft
