Classic Game Room reviews GRAND THEFT AUTO SAN ANDREAS for the Playstation 2 video game console PS2 from Rockstar Games released in 2004. As we all await GRAND THEFT AUTO on the Playstation 3 PS3 we can blow up the entire world created by Rockstar Games in this amazing part of the GTA series. You are CJ, thug gangsta hustler who starts out in Ganton and rises to the top like Scarface meets Boys in the Hood. San Andreas is known for it's amazing soundtrack (like Vice City) featuring rap and hip hop artists like Eazy E, NWA, Ice Cube, Slick Rick, Tupac and Gangstarr just to name a few. The great tunes of the 90's like Soundgarden, Helmet, Alice in Chains, Billy Idol and Rage Against the Machine are there as well to fill your radio dial with angst as you mercilessly wipe out the cities of Las Venturas, Los Santos and San Fiero.
Be sure to watch the original Classic Game Room episodes. Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD. The HD series is reviewing PS3, Genesis, NES, Atari and Xbox 360. XBLA. GTAIII GTA3 PS3 GT5 review PS3 console review review for xbox 360 PS 3 PSP Wii is on will it be when is being released what
Man this channel was such a big part of my life when I was a young kid gaming
Snorty McGout bugged childhood mechanics
@@ameliastevens2453 Philly boy is still around lol
Same here, I remember watching this guy's videos a lot
Sucks that he ruined his channel
Hey man Uhh ik this is a weird Question but how do i fix the black lines going up my screen when i turn off the frame limiter?
GTA SA map felt bigger than GTA V map to me
same with me
Maybe it was the smaller render distance.
it is, they made it WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY smaller. they took out the las vegas equivalent, which made the map way smaller.
GTA V map is half the size of GTA SA. I looked at them and Los Santos in GTA V is the same size as LS in GTA SA and Blane County is the size of Las Venturas, thats it :/
***** Why would they do that? I guess the current gen consoles just could not handle rendering that much land in 720p. Hopefully when they make a version for pc it will be as big as GTA SA.
Man I remember watching this when it was first uploaded...God how time flies
Hey man Uhh ik this is a weird Question but how do i fix the black lines going up my screen when i turn off the frame limiter?
i remember this video review had the ice cube song today was a good day
You know what I still prefer GTA SA then GTA 5.
+Haxterz STOP HATING ON THIS GAME ITS A GOOD GAME FOR PS2
+Vladi Ramone same here
***** wow, that was the most pathetic excuse of a statement ever, you're parents must be ashamed. i triple dog dare you to try and prove me wrong.
GTA V is so far behind from San Andreas. they're releasing everything from S.A. to gta v online.
+Haxterz finally someone says it
Me during the first 2 minutes and 35 seconds of this video:
"Wait... My headphones aren't plugged in so... Are my laptop's speakers broken?"
Zuon94 sorry man it's just dumbass TH-cam and their bullshit copyright
Mark had to take the music that was copywrited out that's why it's like that
Zuon94 If you wanna know the song in the beginning
it’s Eazy E “Eazier Said than Done”
@@christianruffin1342 good looks
I miss this channel….they never stopped making video games. No reason to stop
Am I the only one who thought this game had excellent graphics when it came out? Then again, on a tiny CRT TV and PlayStation 2 you really can't tell, lol.
Also, I was disappointed too at the lack of white zombie. But on PC custom soundtracks are an option. Hooray!
Hey man Uhh ik this is a weird Question but how do i fix the black lines going up my screen when i turn off the frame limiter?
this is one of the first youtube videos I ever watched
I'm almost 30 years old. Grew up with a bit of Atari, mostly NES and Super NES and of course N64 and original Playstation. GTA SA is the one game that 14 years after it released is one i have never grew tired of playing. Massive for it's time and in comparison to what GTA V did, completely blows it out of the water. I wish i could have appreciated the masterpieces on consoles previous to the PS2 (to be honest i respect and love many prior to it) but GTA SA became a staple to gaming in my life; even 'till this day. That's why i consider it my favorite/most memorable game of all time.
I like to think of san andrea, vice city and gta3 as one game, like them all and you can never get bored. Idc which one is better i like to have them all
Paul Oniel Yeah, I know what you mean! They were a lot more connected as well. For example, Ken Rosenburg from Vice City was a major character in San Andreas, and at one time called CJ for Tommy. And Catalina was a big part of the game as well, one of the first characters that introduced CJ to the outer area of Los Santos
Exactly
+Paul Oniel then it's a giant shit game, gta4 and gta5 obliterate them to hell. and i played all those when they came out respectively.
+Grigori Rasputin troll
True on that.
I can't be the only one who thinks it's absolutely mind blowing that we can play this full game on our mobile phones. It only felt like yesterday when games like snake where the standard off mobile gaming. Nowadays, you can spend hours on your mobile playing stuff like this.
"its not a game I would let children play" fuck that, I started playing this when I was 9 or 10
I was playin this at age 3
played played it since I was 6.
I was playin this at age 7 or 8 and now i'm 17
I played gta 4 when I was 7 at my uncles house he let me play until I ised the word nigga then I had to get off :(
I was 11 when I got this. Had to get the greatest hits edition in 2005 cause my parents knew of the hot coffee thing and thought I would somehow access it ha ha.
I cant begin to fathom how many hours I spent in this game listening to Horse with No Name while flying a plane around the entire map. Ah memories
I have Grand Theft Auto San Andreas on my PlayStation 2, my PC via Steam, on my Asus Tablet, and on my Galaxy S4. This game is worth owning four times.
I can fully understand you. Got it for PC, PS2, Xbox, Windows 8 (Microsoft Store), Android and iOS ^^
I think I played this game over 300 hours. Oh the Memories... :)
Got the game in 2006, played it for years. Last time i have played this game was now about one year ago. I think i have put around 600 hours into this game, as i would play this game during weekends, and sometimes most of my summer. I never felt bored of the game and enjoyed the territory glitch most of all, i spent most of the game hanging around los santos just for the gangs to attack me.
Hey man Uhh ik this is a weird Question but how do i fix the black lines going up my screen when i turn off the frame limiter?
I like the irony of censoring harmless swear words while also showing you gunning down innocent civilians.
This video is 6 years old..
damn..
Time flies
+SWAGGY “SWAGGYP” P *WHISTLE CONCERT*
_It sure does._
BILLION DOLLAR JASON and now it's 9 years old
10 years old.
11 years old xD
GTA sa will always be the best GTA
+ghost830 True!
+ghost830 red dead redemption = best gta game
true
That'll never change
Gta V is kinda a sequel
Is this the best GTA? Some say yes, others say hell yes.
TechNick yes
yep
I say no (in just my opinion). My ranking would be:
1. GTA 5
2. GTA 4
3. San Andreas
4. Vice City
5. GTA 3
And then the 2D ones, which I don't really care to rate because they're all pretty much the same IMO.
Frankly, the core gameplay is what's most important to me, and 4 and 5 massively improved the shooting and driving, as well as making the worlds and characters actually feel alive, and all the little details in the maps really added to the feeling of them being actual places, instead of San Andreas where a lot of the buildings just feel like set dressing.
Hell yeah it's the best game & my favorite one
Was always partial to Tommy Verceti(Ray Liotta) myself.
I always come back to Mark's older gta reviews, Mark just make's me remember why i love these game's so much, Nostalgia running trough my body... feel's soo good.
i miss your videos man
they are still the best
I love the inclusion of multiple cities in a map. GTA V, as amazing as it is, could have used another important location aside from one large city and a desert.
I really wanted San fierro in GTA V. 😢
One does not simply complete Zero's missions.
Don't even get me started
oh man that one where you have to shoot the planes is really hard.
I think it's easier on the PC version, you have much more precision when using the mouse.
Curse you, Berkeley! CURSE YOOOOOOUUU!
One does not simply follow that damn train
Going through and re-watching reviews of games I haven't touched in years. I never noticed the spaceballs reference at the very end. Reminds me why Mark will forever be one of my heroes on youtube.
Best GTA game ever made. V comes damn close though
Such an awesome game, very detailed as well. I remember recently playing it and I was being chased by a police chopper when the pilot said "if I kill him will I get a medal?" Then someone else responded with "you'll get two." Hahaha
way better than V to me
I'm so glad of your channel existence
a certified TH-cam classic
I Like that Late 80's early 90's hip hop group Toto!
No more music :(
This game is better than GTA 5.
The best GTA ever.
definitely.
Saints Row has better gameplay.
i bought this game and got upset when i realized i had to unlock the bridges :(
BeastyIsHere That's what GTA was about.
Best video game ever!
GTA V, Red Dead Redemption, etc.
+Mediocre Will Hunting gta v ain't got shit on this
I'm not retarded. San Andreas beats V in story, characters and world.
Mediocre Will Hunting Not even close. Rockstar spent time on graphics and gameplay and didn't even add in memorable missions. San Andreas had what 100 missions? V had 69. And I can find countless after countless articles about how V was a letdown in terms of story. Even going as far to say IV is better than it(which imo IV had a fantastic story). And you seriously can't tell me those characters are interesting compared or memorable to Big Smoke, Woozie, Ryder, Tenpenny, Toreno, Cesar etc. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt though I do like Dave, Lamar, Jimmy, Devon, and Steve. I'd call those characters somewhat memorable.
And beating these missions to unlock the other parts of the map are great. After you work hard on a mission you find yourself in another amazing part of the state.
Savage _Tv San Andreas had way more missions, but keep in mind that it's quality over quantity. I'd rather have 69 missions that range from mostly tolerable to very fun than 100 ones that make me pull my hair out in frustration. Let's just think about this for a second... you're telling me that you'd take Wrong Side of the Tracks over The Long Stretch. You're telling me that you'd take OG Loc over I Fought the Law. You're telling me that you'd take Learning to Fly over The Big Score... you can like the game man, but that doesn't make it good.
I didn't particularly like Big Smoke, Ryder, Toreno, or Cesar. There's nothing to them at all, they're as generic as can be. Although Tenpenny was one bad motherfucker, that was a good type of antagonist that GTA V was most definitely missing. Instead we got the previously mentioned Steve, who was shit. He wasn't even intimidating like Tenpenny was, so I don't know how you could like him. The required completion of missions to unlock different areas didn't make any sense by the way, Rockstar is famous for giving freedom back to the player with their gameplay, and then they just take it away from you by making you beat retarded missions to play in different places, that was bullshit.
As for IV, it was alright, not as many bad missions as San Andreas, but not as many fun ones as V had. I felt like there was so little variety in that game minus the obvious Three Leaf Clover. If it weren't for Niko Bellic and the good, gritty storyline it had, I probably wouldn't have beat it, to be honest.
I like Vice City more, still the best GTA.
How can you like Vice city more ? I dont understand... GTA SA have way more content than Vice City.
Miami Vice style rules!
Vice City is the most overrated GTA... it was pretty much an expansion pack for 3.
Xenoforge78 Hmmm i guess. It did have the same engine. I still my favourite GTA game of all time.
I agree, VC was probably* the best.
It feels awesome to have this game in my ps2 collection..
I really hate how people say the ps2 version sucks compared to the other versions tho...
I mean i know that the ps2 version is the weakest but come on..
In the end its still the same awesome fun game...
The PS2 version sucks compared to the other versions tho...
Jus' messin'.
It doesn't suck at all, it's definitely bettered by the others but it was also the first version- I'd have been very pissed off if I loaded up the Xbox version and it was the same, considering it was a year later and on newer hardware.
You're totally right though- there's loads of games that lack certain effects or have low-res textures but you don't notice them nearly as much as people make out. The only really laughable PS2-compared-to-Xbox graphics are the Splinter Cells (1-3) but they all came with extra levels on the PS2 to make up for it.
And also, Splinter Cell was designed to sell Xbox's graphical effects- everything is on fire, wet or has a spotlight moving around it.
What? The PS2 version is the best one. Most people will agree to that. It’s the original version, and the most optimized. Every other version is a port of the PS2 version, and is missing the haze effects.
Best reviewer ever
Plz come back man
In every GTA review you always find people debating over which game is the best in the series. All that talk goes to show is that every GTA is special in it's own way and that GTA is a god tier series
Classic game room reviews are themselves classic Now 😂
I was about to comment the same!!
@@S200. well congrat for being a 90s boi then 😂
I still prefer the PS2 version (as my fav console version) because of all the cool mods you can do with Action Replay or Codebreaker!
+John Carter right i like the PS2 version better. Simply for it's nostalgic time.
Action Replay MAX was great! Shame that the website with all the unique GTA SA ARMAX PS2 codes is gone now. It used to have codes like Press L3+R3 to Teleport as well as Small Rocks and Joshua Tees Everywhere and Press L1 for Negative Gravity.
Yo catman (cute name and logo) you can contact a user by the name of nukeyshay at gamefaqs, he is a MASTER code man.
PS2/XBox 1st edition of SA is the definitive edition. The PC edition never felt natural to me. The frame rate and the motion of objects and characters was always off and rarely smooth, and there were a lot of atmospheric effects present in the console editions that were inexplicably absent from the PC port. The only upsides to the PC edition was that the textures were clearer and the game was easier to mod.
Completed GTA 5. I must go back to this little beauty.
Can't watch this video in my country? Oh well... First time I feel kinda discriminated on the internet.
ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN CJ!!
i have just pickt up gta sa from steam, the version 3. it's just so much funn! i like this game even more than gta5! it so much that you can do here! i love it! 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000/10!!!!!!!!
Yolo
what if i told you i have a ps3 and gta5? i think gta 5 is a failure
Yolo
FreeRoamFTW
You obviously think that because you sit down behind a monitor everyday watching people play it and screaming every 2 seconds.
Yolo
My favorite radio station in the game is Bounce FM. Nothing says funk like driving an Esparanto or Remington in the game and having the radio tuned to Bounce FM and having your car modified with hydraulics .
It's hard to argue vice city is better but in my opinion I enjoy it more. It's definitely the environment, location, the 80s, the MUSIC! I just love everything about it. Not to take away how great this game is its an improvement in every way and just so impressive. But it can't beat vice in my heart.
IMO I find Vice City to be too clunky compared to San Andreas and definitely compared to V
Yeah Vice City is my favorite of the 3D versions, heck, probably my favorite overall. The atmosphere and environment really set it off for me, and that's coming from someone who was born a decade later haha.
ive played vice city, san andreas, 4 and 4 sucked. the jumps were good, some of the physics was good, but i really hated 4. vice city had my favorite cars, music, physics, but san andreas is the best.
4 wasnt THAT bad
ur right.
Easily convinced.
You're an idiot, 4 by far had the best storylines and original, memorable characters, not generic gangster stereotypes.
GTA 1 story:idk
GTA London story:idk
GTA 2 story:working for gangs and finally all gangs wants to kill You
GTA 3 story:revenge because a bitch betrayed You in a robbing a bank
GTA VC story:based on Scarface but with a happy ending
GTA sa story:based on 90s rap and gangs
GTA Advance:idk
GTA LCS story:working for mafia i think
GTA VCS story:You want to control the city
GTA 4:dark story because You choose who want to die: a cousin or a girlfriend
GTA TLAD:brother for brother almost the whole story
GTA CW story:revenge for who killed your dad
GTA TBOGT: protect a friend and his club
GTA V story:start of game:friends final of game:A:Kill Trevor
B:Kill Michael
C:Deathwish
***** i say my opinion of storylines of all GTA games
CHRISPLAYER 95 Is GTA VCS
+Andreas 444 Hey! :D
I thumbs up this video just for that intro! God, your intro is so awesome. You have good taste in music, too. Thanks for the review. :)
wtf the music was muted at the beginning?????
It was copyrighted
Rewarching marks reviews you can really tell they are kinda crappy.
Easy-E is the shit.
At right about 3:47, you can hear the audio quality change from ~1990 level to 2008 quality.
I thought the audio wasn't working .. video starts a 2:36
Blame TH-cam Mark had an awesome montage, but they censored some of the music out
You are classic now...
Satanic Hispanic Aren't you a youtuber? I swear I've seen one of your videos(something to do with the next-gen consoles). BTW this is the best GTA ever created, much better than GTA 5...
I wouldn't consider myself a youtuber. The only next gen console related video I did was when Microsoft employees went to the Nintendo E3 events at Best Buy and were telling people to buy the XBOX One. Man, I haven't made a video in ages, lol
And I saw comments on your video and one of them had swearing words and he/she was offending you cos of your TH-cam name.
***** I think he is you know...
***** Lol, actually I'm not satanic, it's just really because it sounded kind of awesome, and it also goes with my love of metal, and it also rhymed with Hispanic, so I thought, "Satanic Hispanic, sounds cool". Glad you think my videos are good, thanks dude.
Satanic Hispanic Ohhhhhh OK now I understand thanks. Btw I'm a Muslim, what religion are you? (sorry i get quite interested lol)
Damn, this game was only 4 years old when this review was posted.
I want the fucking first 2;30 mins of my life back
Yeah, I thought I'd gone to a different video!!
Possibly titled...
"Classic Game Room Doesn't Review GTA San Andreas But Eventually Does"
Why you hating? EAZY E FTW.
Im not hating Life Is Good for me anyways
What the fuck do you have against Eazy-E?
You mean when you were a fetus in your moms womb? Why?
2008 editing was cringe but still there's a lot of memories
People who prefer this game over Vice City are probably biased toward black urban culture in general.
not necessarily, as someone who owns both games I enjoy both San Andreas was amazing and I have put hundreds of hours into it but I just honestly prefer the 80s music and style of Vice city, but if neither game had a story I would prefer San Andreas.
Dominic Rollins i agree. i prefer vice city's soundtrack more then San Andrea's. although i'm not very far into the game, so it didn't grow on me yet.
Well San Andreas has a bigger map, more vehicles, planes, jetpack, longer story, more of everything.
true my friend, but some just prefer a more confined map and 80s setting and music.
Nickolas Sucharew I like casinos, car mods, and jets though. We all have preferences fair enough.
Oh you! You made me rebuy GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas, thank you! :)
10:00 cmon Mark you are Killing your own guys
dude i played this game when i was 8 didnt do any of this irl
first time I played this game was when I was six, used to sneakily pop the disc into the ps2 when dad went to work haha, I didnt end up being a murderer so you know...
ThatTeenNamedRhandy Yeah, it was your dad's game and you could only play it when he was out for work and you were on a summer break or something like that
taking the WWII aircraft and dogfighting the harrier jets was, correction, is, the best thing ever
If you watch all of CGR's GTA reviews he's like the perfect ad/montage for these games.
great intro! and nice ride at 7:18
I love GTA San Andreas. Spent a large amount of my teenage years playing this game, mostly driving around aimlessly. KROSE, KDST, Bounce FM and SFUR made for an awesome driving experience. GTA IV is bigger, but it's mostly city, and dreary gray city doesn't appeal to me.
That's the nostalgia talking :)
When I played San Andreas I was 11. A carefree time when I appreciated games on a different level. GTA San Andreas is like the house you grew up in, while GTA V is the bigger, classier but impersonal house you just moved in to.
The company that makes this is huge now. They should remake GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas and GTA 4. They have a lot of staff. They don't even have to build it from the ground up. They have all the maps and wire frame works of the game. Just import them and use RDR 2 texture and lighting systems, and animation work. It would be epic.
This december on IOS and Android.
Im already excited :D
I sunk hundreds of hours into this game as a kid. Great memories
Best gta in the series.I sold my ps2 and i kept this game and shadow of the colossus,i still have them.
9:45
My favorite song while playing
Wow! Can't believe this video is 10 years old already!
Thank you for sharing this, it's so rare to find other sane people in this world.
SA is hands down the best of the classic PS2 trilogy. If we account for era, I think it's the best in the series.
Man, I was so glad they brought San Andreas back for GTA V. San Andreas has never look so alive and amazing. Here's hoping they'll give Vice City the same love and treatment for the next gen consoles.
I was 100% addicted to this game ever since I got in 2008 for PS2. I played it at least 5 times a week until 2011. I completed it up to 100% progress, I totally done absolutely everything you can possibly do in this game, and I mean Everything. That's why buying it for the PS3 would be annoying to do it all over again from scratch.
they have sound(less)garden,sound no more,billy idol quiet wedding. i miss the old days when you could actually hear music on videos,cgr were still here and google hadn't fecked it up yet.
Haven't played in a while. But I can't forget my favorite weapon set; mini-gun, Katana, grenades, smg, Desert Eagle and the M16.
You have predicted my suspicions for GTA 6. I can see a revamped Vice City with swamps and alligators frankly.
Cool to look at the history of the GTA series with the next one coming out in 5 months! 5 months can't go by fast enough!!!
This game and Grand Theft Auto Vice City are the two best Grand Theft Auto games in the entire franchise in my opinion.
GTA 3 was pretty good to
I agree.
Cool. :)
Mark (the reviewer) takes it easy with his reviews and he makes them fun . You must be new to classic game room , right ?
I remember at the beginning of this video Eazy Er Said Than Dunn would play. Guess it by copyright claimed.
Ah the memories. So much chaos, so many dead bodies (sniffles, voice breaking) I'm not crying, I have something in my eye.
Love that intro 🔥🔥
I love the underground techno channel with 808 State and Maurice.
Just got this game off steam during its summer sale. From what I've played I love what they put into it
This is probably going to be known as the best GTA game, after GTA 7 comes out in 2055.
GTA 3 games are so good that the only way to determine the best is the one you played the most in the 2001-2006 era.
For me, SA was that game and I still play it from time to time today. Never really got to play III or VC unfortunately.
Can't wait for Mark to review GTA V!
it has everything bro! EVERYTHING!!!!! not 1 but 3 cities and gang territories and assetts for days, I cry for joy just remembering this shit!!
Luckely for me, i passedhes missionson the PC, i remember after that mission where you shoot the RC planes, in the end my hand was still shaking from hte difficulty of that damn mission...
Great review!
Today Was A Good Day was the best song ever put in a GTA game. It fits so well.
I have 12 years old and i already playied all the Grand Theft Auto games :P, i have all of then. For the PS1,PS2,PC ( i dont have a X360 or a PS3 ), GBC,GBA, DS, PSP... all of then!
Mini games not in other GTA's such as lowrider meets, pool, basketball, working out, dancing with girlfriends and those mini games you can find in the 24-7's. San Andreas has an incredibly huge map filled with things you can explore, such as Back O' Beyond, Area 69, The Big Ear and such. Features such as car modding, restaurants, recruiting homies, gang wars and all those stuff. over 20 different aircraft and 120 veichles. the map is 5 times the size of VC, theres just so much to explore.
All i think about when watching this again now is the comming of "Hatred". i wonder. Mark has a point and its all a game. good fun.
Lord Karnage FTW
How time flies so fast!
Everyone’s talking about how this is better than gta v and I’m just here enjoying both
Hey here's a little thing many San Andreas players didn't know: In the beginning of the game when Tennpenny and Polaski arrest you for the first time, do the jetpack cheat while they are driving you and every shop should be open. Try it out!
