    I have played the game about 2 solid days now. Its very good, it is massive and to cut a long story short well worth getting. There are only 3 slight problems I have with it:-

    1. Slowdown - particularly when the sun rises sets. The game just goes a little slow, its not that bad but you do notice it.

    2. The content - well I wouldnt play this game with anyone under 12 or over 40 around as it uses a lot of rude words for a lot of the time. And I know GTA3 and VC were by no means clean, but this uses the "N" and "B" words very frequently.

    3. The AI - You seem to have to rely upon the AI to do a fair bit of the aiming, sometimes its shooting is worse than David Connolly.

    But there are so many plus points that really these 3 arent a problem, its a very good game. You can just drive around and not do the missions and its still great - its like a whole world that your driving in. Anyway I wont give too much away coz it will spoil the plot etc, but if youve pre-ordered this game its safe to say it wont be a dissapointment.

    PS - There is also a 2 player mode, where you get to be the main character's wife or girlfriend or whatever... its a nice touch but single player is better.

    Sales Expected To Reach $225 Million In First Week

    GTA San Andreas is expected to bring in sales totaling $225 million a week from today, estimated to be 10%-25% more than GTA Vice City.

    While this is no surprise to the GTA series, sequels to recent blockbuster games rarely sell more than their original.

    I dont like the way you lose $100 each time you die or get caught. You make fúck all if not any money from the missions!

    unless they sort out the missions in the getaway, along with the control method when you're outside the car (the driving around london bit was cool i have to admit) the getaway is always going to be a poor second to GTA

    The way London was recreated and the realistic storyline means that it is rather the getaway which is theoretically better than GTA be it that the controls in the getaway are crap

    EH??
    realistic storyline? it's about as realistic as ramblers chances of getting promoted! and you can claim it's theoretically better, but it handles like a donkey and is about as much fun to play through as a kick in the spuds

    It is also easier to relate the London surrounds rather than the American settings.
