Anyone tell me what the benefit of SA is over VC? I'v got VC and got bored halfway through (all got a bit samey) but still good. Bascially, how much of a step up from VC is it?

It's supposed to be on another level so I hear apparently you can do quite a bit more and it even has detail in that if you eat too much you get fat!

Now is it just me or does that sound really boring? Why do I want to eat virtual food?

It's just u...

Don't eat, you get weak, get weak you can't run/fight etc... On the other hand eat to much, you get fat, get to fat you run/fight like a fat bassa....

But hey if you didn't like Vice City then this probably won't be for you, each to there own and all that....

For me GTA3 was the best game ever because of the way things just carry on around you. Even when you do nothing but look out the window of a building there's folks going about their business and cars and so on.

Then Vice City came out and everything was much brighter and the soundtrack was absolutely the best! (for folks my age anyway )

I think Rockstar Games have created the best "virtual world" I have seen so far - even if it is a crooked one.

Even if San Andreas was just more of Vice City I'd have to buy it.

I can't wait - have pre-ordered. The snag is a) finding the time to play it and b) stopping the other half whinging about it - she hated Vice City with a passion ("but I need the sound turned up loud so I can hear what's going on" - cue noisy siren on a half hour ambulance mission )

It looks mental, 3 cities each as large as vice city, you have to feed the guy, go the gym and much more.

Terrific write up in 'Play' magazine!

I have already pre-ordered it!

I have been playing this for months and only half way through but I only play it 20 min every other day but I am trying to collect all the hidden packs and do all the Rampages but I am trying to finish the first Iland first.

I have had to use 3 cheats from time to time and I have maps and other paper work it's a laught really the bits of A4 I use to play the game but very a dictive.

I on the other hand will not get 100% because there's things I can not do

Best game for a console ever IMHO. I borrowed a mates PS2 for 3 months to complete it. No PS2 so will wait (a long time) for Xbox release.

I never managed 100% despite playing it from start to finish at least twice..... and some of my favourite missions over and over.

Completing all the main missions, building related missions, jumps and hidden packages is relatively easy.

Some of the rampages are quite hard and I cant be bothered to rob all the shops.

But its some of the special "Top Fun" missions that I can't do..... the model planes on top of the Northpoint Mall carpark and the little radio controlled cars on the dirt track... Oh the shame of it....

Oh yes and the Ambulance missions and pizza missions are very difficult to reach the levels where you get the reward IMO.

I've been playing it again over the last few days to get my hand brake turns, and bootlegger reverses back up to standard
