Product Description

Product Description

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the latest game in the world-renowned Grand Theft Auto franchise. The game features several new elements and revolves around three cities--Los Santos (based on Los Angeles), San Fierro (based on San Francisco), and Las Venturas (based on Las Vegas). Each city is relatively the size of Vice City--making it clear what the magnitude of the game is. Some of the new elements in this game include four-person drivebys, house break-ins and robberies, character abilities such as eating and swimming and more. The visual effects have also been improved with things like real-time reflections, fully rendered interior environments, and new camera controls. The storyline, set in the early 90s, centers on Carl Johnson, a man who escaped from the pressures of life in Los Santos, San Andreas, five years ago. Now Carl's got to go home, and on his return to the neighborhood, he is framed for homicide. Not Final Cover.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to the game, 1 Nov 2004
This guide covers most thing you'll need to know when playing the game. It covers all of the missions but often tells you useless info that the game tells you anyway.

However, it is very good at telling you where all of the hidden things are for those of you that want to get 100% completion. It also gives you the information on the food you eat, clothes you can wear, your haircuts and tatoos and how these effect your stats (respect, fat and sex appeal.)

It also comes with some helpful maps, much better than the one that comes with the game and the in-game map, which is often vital for getting to places. It also explains the odd jobs that are required but the game does not tell you.

Overall, I think this guide is vital for anyone that owns the game as it will make it a much more fun game to play and you will be able to get the maximum out of it.

4.0 out of 5 stars They must have used the beta version to write it, 1 Dec 2004
I think this was worth the price - certainly beats going to all the FAQ websites to find what you need about San Andreas. The mission walkthroughs are just that and don't offer much in the way of hints for those frustrating *cough* supply lines *cough* missions. The book is really good for side missions and hidden stuff which is what I really wanted it for. I would have to agree with thecrimsonshortone about the San Fierro photo ops - the map and thumbnails don't match whatsoever, not even close. Plus some of them are wrong. One of them states take a pic of the save the whales mural. But in the game, the brick wall is blank, its the Hashbury festival sign you have to capture instead. It's nowhere near as bad for the Horseshoe locations in Las Venturas - but some of the screenshots include stuff like stairs and bushes that must have been removed from the final version of the game to stop the PS2 from having an emotion engine overload.
Overall, it's a worthy purchase, but you will still need the odd trip to gamefaqs.com

3.0 out of 5 stars For those who feel like cheats even looking at this page..., 1 Nov 2004
...the way I see it is this. For the first time there is a strategy guide you could seriously beat someone to death with. This is a seriously meaty work. Full colour pictures, maps, item catalogues. In GTAIII and Vice City we could say that all things come with time, eventually you will see everything even if you don't actually finish the game (because of insane jumps and races usually). In San Andreas, on the other hand, if you don't have some help... well, you might miss something.

The book is as comprehensive as its forebears and this will be of great relief to players (or should that be playaz?) like myself who sort of got their head aroud Los Santos over this release weekend and then despaired of ever finishing this Final Fantasy-esque behemoth of a crime epic.

Essentially this guide will help you manage your stay in San Andy and if you don't want spoilers don't read the important pages. But for those like me who don't fancy hide and seek to get the tags, oysters and horseshoes. I quite like getting to know the city by doing a 'hidden object' review. So I don't have a problem with using the guide.

Trust me, you'll need this if you're planning on having a life in addition to a copy of GTA:SA
