"The PS2s Re-introduction to me"

I got a new, second hand (risky I know) PS2- with an HDD. It's sweet. And it came with San Andreas, GT4, Half-Life, Vice City, GTA III and many peripherals, all for £80.

I'm loving San Andreas at the moment. Far superior to Vice City and fractionally better than GTA III (both of which I sold on).

And due to the HDD, I've hardly noticed any jerking or slow down at all. Even when dricing in fast cars then stopping.

So yeah. I'm playing my PS2 (and intend to) play on it past the releasse date of the PS3 for sure. Especially since I haven't even got Dark Chronicles yet.

If you've only played a little bit of San Andreas then maybe you're not far enough to appreciate it yet :-).

If you're not even out of the first area yet then you've a very long way to go.

You've probably not yet enjoyed :-

Just to name a few things.

That's the same reason I need to go back to GTA 3. I'm only on the 2nd island having attempted to break some guy out of the policestation a few times.

Having to hit all those 'lose the cops' tokens really sucks, I much preferred out-running/out-gunnung people in True Crime in chases.

Well I've just returned to the very start of San Andreas due to my saved game data being wiped and after reading that list I suddenly remembered exactly how much there is to do in this game :)

I don't think I'll be getting anywhere near the end of the first island in one sitting on Friday night :(

I just can't get into this bloody game.

Loved GTA3 and Vice City. Can't stand this one.

I really want to play it, because it's massive. I've had it since it came out, and I haven't even opened up any more of the map than the original play area yet.

It's even putting me off the idea of getting Liberty City Stories for my PSP.

I finished the missions long ago, but I've really struggled to find anything worthwhile to do on it since.

I know there is much to do, but it all seems a bit naff to me. The mini-games are all a bit lame really e.g. the pool mini-game, it couldn't really be any worse.

I managed to get hundreds and possibly thousands of hours of entertainment out of GTA III and Vice City after I'd finished the missions, which makes it all the more confusing why I can't do the same on San Andreas.

I've been gradually climbing towards 100% (I'm on about 70 now), but I can't see me ever getting there. Every time I try and set my mind to something such as hitting all of the insane jumps, I get side tracked, have a little shoot out with the police, get killed, get bored and then switch it off.

Because others games' quality changes in-between sequels. No-doubt GTA isn't as fresh to you as it once was and you'd rather play something a bit newer.

I'd reccomend Prisoner of War, th graphics are bad and there a few minor bugs but the whole idea makes the game very fun to play.

You can get it cheap too.

That's weird because I just bought that yesterday.

I only mentioned it because I saw your thread in the Xbox forum. :)

I posted in there too.

Yep.

Getting Revenge then?
