I've been playing it for almost a week now, and what a freakin great game. I'm in the San Fran type city currently and what a great story line. it keeps getting deeper and deeper. the game is just massive and the detail is amazing. the fact that you can fly a jet is just bad ass. I'm still waiting to get the pilot licence so I can get into the airport whenever I want and fly the coptors. I'm wondering how much longer it will be till I have a chance to get the licence. I also can wait to get to the Vegas type city. this game is just owning me right now. I figure it will take me another week or 2 to finish. Way better than GTA 3, or Vice City. there is even a cameo from the GTA 3 character which is kind of funny.

the one mission that is pissing me off right now is the red barron one with Zero. I can kill all the couriers, but I don't have any fuel left to make it back to the van. it seems impossible.

 

I have it, but don't have time to play it. I just barely passed the mission where CJ was cleaning up the hood from crack heads.

 

I can tell you that this game is way bigger than vice city. it you only play a couple of missions a day it will take you a month or more to beat. I had half of wed, all of thurs, and fri off due to getting Mono and I played the game all day including the weekend. the game is huge, and it takes a long time to get out of Los Angos'. you have to use cheats in this game to have any chance of beating some of the missions. the one cool thing is you get a girlfriend and you then get the ability to have 2 people play at the same time.

 

I hardly do the missions as of right now. I'm trying to familiarize myself with the area and also building up CJ's stats. Having the gym opening up is a big plus as I got CJ to learn new moves as well as build up his strength. :goodjob:

 

that's what I did before I started. I found a gym on the beach and would jack up there before I started missions. I also gave him the afro for a while, I was tempted to give him jerrycurls.

 

ive heard nothing but good things about this game...im going to get it now @ bestbuy

 

one of the amazing things in the game are all the mini games. you can play arcade games at the 7/11 type store. you can actually play pool aginst someone for money. you can bet on the horses. you can customize any car you steal and make it into a lowrider if you want. you can swim and dive, you can ride a BMX bike. you can dance, you can enter your car into a low rider competition. it blows away the first 2 games in terms of the amount of detail and depth in the game. you can get lost doing all sorts of things before you even start any of the missions. This is a must get if you are a gamer.

 

I want that...and PS2 h:

 

I want it, but me is poor. Maybe I'll rent it from cockbuster.

 

i play it for like at least 2 hours a day.. played it for 6 straight on friday. h:

i just got to san fierro last night.. im at work right now, gettin pissed i cant play it.. and cant smoke a cig

edit: its 6x as big as vice city, by far the best video game ive ever played.
