Anyone got any tips or thoughts on the game since playing it.
I love to kill the drug dealers, its so easy to make money on this game. I really haven't had this much fun saying "mark ass bitch" or "buster ass trick" since like Zack and Kelly were an item!!

there's so much to do next to the missions. you can go clubbing, basejump, play arcade games, break into houses, bet on horses, go buckwild with a bmx downtown and prolly a lot of other stuff. yesterday i got the parachute, drove over to the airport, jumped the fence and got the learjet. jumped out mid-air. very useless but fun. trying to figure out the latest point to open the chute right now.

on top of all that ... you can play pool at the bars, shoot some hoops and ride cars on half pipes.
I wish I didn't have a job. I could play this game all day and night.

I beat the whole game (not 100% though) and my damn file corrupted on my memeory card! So keep a back up because it's a looooong storyline
but for a few tips ( spoiler caution)
*get all gold in the schools, it's worth it
*be a pimp ;)
*visit the shower in the LS police dept
*keep a parachute handy
*get real good with the submachine guns
*up your stamina, lung capacity, and muscle every chance you get
*don't use cheats,corrupts your fileI have spent wayyy too much time on this game, fortunately my girl sleeps until 3p.m. on the weekends so she doesn't hassle me about it.

Another tip: get the LearJet before you open up the other two islands, then fly into their airspace, but remember your parachute.
- Jermyn0
how do you get the lear jet??
ha s anyone taken over all of los santos--I took over all the colored territories but theres still lt. green gangstas up in ceasars hood-get them too?
- designerror0
yes, remember parachute, F16's will shoot your ass down
you can make ALOT of money on the horsetrack bedding. made over $100000 just by doing that for a while (yes, i'm a gambler in reallife too)
shoot as many gangsters you can, earn your respect!

I'll probably receive death threats for saying so but nevertheless.....compared to vice city or gta III, san andreas can be really really boring. What's with the endless cross country drives through fields of pixeled tiled grass? Long eventless drives in the real world suck.....long eventless drives in a video game are like ramming a piece of steel through your forehead. And I can't believe on a design site nobody mentions the barely legible icons and map? This game is also a lot more linear than any prior GTA game, which really sucks (e.g., just when you are really getting into the LA gang wars and they are far from finished, you are whipped off to SF and the gang wars are over - a forced storyline, not an open-ended game).

i agree a bit, the driving can be rather tedious(stoned or not)
it is hard on the eyes, I imagine they'll clean that up on the comp. version tho. The camera views usually suck too but all and all it's still probably the best game out there. I'll take it over Halo 2.

I felt the same on the road trips as well, until I noticed that you can skip the road trip by pressing the right d-pad button, but only if you have failed the mission before.

The Zero RC missions/sub-story nearly had me smashing my PS2 into a thousand pieces - the character was irritating as was the handling of the RC vehicles. But apart from that it's amazing!
To get the jet, head to the airport in LS, follow the fence round until it becomes a wall (somewhere near the south-east), jump onto a car and over the wall. Head back west to find the jet.

how do u get the parachute? is it after a mission or can u go somewhere to get it?
- woodyBatts0
Yeah the Zero mission suck, i still haven't gotten past "supply lines"
the parachute is at the top of the building in LS, go to madd dogs and you can see the skyline, then nav to the building, the dorr way is behind pillars
the parachute is also at the top of mt. chilliad
god i'm a nerd

i liked the zero missions. david cross is awesome. also in response to the icons on the radar being a mess, thats true, but you can turn different type icons on and off from your map menu, you can even turn off the gang zones. the driving can get ridiculous but its fun driving one of the ferraris or something down the highway so that the screen gets blurry and shaky and then not crashing for a while. but once you finish all of truth's missions you get a jetpack which is sweet, and after james woods's missions you get a harrier jet which is awesome because it also has missles that can lock onto any planes that might try to attack you.

I definitely didn't read the author's post but this game is the fucking bomb digs.
GTA has consumed my life and I am now living vicariously through it cause I'm so gangster... heh.
Not to mention Halo2 drops tomorrow so my social life for the next few weeks is pretty much split between ps2, xbox and laptop.
mmmm virtual reality.
