Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

"As it stands now, it's far from perfect. But, divisive though its hip-hop ideology may be, and under-furnished some areas may feel, it still edges close enough often enough to be worthy of one of our highest marks."

"But if you ignore that debate and focus on simple gameplay and presentation, there’s no question that this game is easily one of the best on the Xbox and a must-own for anyone without a PS2"

"Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a stupendous thrill ride that shouldn't be missed."

"Even though the title is largely the same game that we saw back in October of last year, there's no denying that this entry in the Grand Theft Auto series is the best ever. I played through the game when it came out for the PS2, and I can honestly say that I'm having a blast playing it again. It looks and sounds better than ever, which more than makes up for the minor control issues."

"GTA: San Andreas is easy to recommend for a thousand reasons. There's just so much to do and have fun with, but even so there's still room for the guys at Rockstar to improve, and that's a pretty exciting possibility."
