Yes the the main character is a black thug He goes back To the place like LA because his mom was killed and when he goes back he finds trouble because police accuse him of homicide.

Sit down and hush. I was just kidding, take a joke.

I myself will be getting an XBox in the future for HALO 2 and a few other games, chill out dunny.
THanks for the info
EDIT- The-One sorry if u weren't talking to me, I thought you were, but after reading thru I see u might not have meant me.

sweet im going to get this game, at first i was abit reserved about getting it because gta is more or less the same game each time (the past 2 games i mean) but it seems like there really trying to push the ps2 power with this one

ofcourse its gonna be better on xbox but im lucky i get to play the "water down" version if you will

and no im not trying to turn this into a console war

I think I may enjoy this more than the last 2 GTA games.For 2 reasons:

This involves Street Gangs not mobs this time.I think the Street Gangs are cooler though.I wonder will you get shot for wearing C-4 jackets or Red in GTA:SA.C-4 jackets are black jackets that look padded.I have one so I have to becareful wearing them around here.I don't want to be involved in any gang stuff.I'll just play the game.

The story seems alot better.The last 2 GTA games had good stories but this one seems more original.It reminds me of GTA III.

Plus the graphics and features.I LOVE 90's Rap and Rock.The 90's were excellent.

nah it was aimed at raiden is god kid, damn that boy can get stressed easily. Anyway i think the best thing that could happen to gta:san andreas is that it goes on line on all platforms, with a create a character mode, the whole city would be a riot all the time.

Im not stressed just telling u the facts so u don;t turn this in console war saying oh great xbox. God lol.

Also its not going online atleast not this game because of how big GTA is. The cities and stuff it would be cool online though maybe GTA 6 lol.

You know what they should do make a GTA MEGALOPOLIS based on the huge city the predict will be in the norteast by 2050 or so. LIKE A BUNCH OF HUGE BIG ASS CITIES lol.

im just telling the facts too, its common knowledge that the xbox version of 3 & vice city where improved (visually) for the xbox even more so than the pc, and i never said how great the xbox is, and its always you saying about a console war not me.

Also, the size of the game doesnt really matter whether its online or not have you not seen some of the size of the rpgs they have online?? its whether they can be bothered to go the extra mile and implement it.

I no it doesn;t matter but thats what rockstar says want me to post it. And also I wasn;t talking to u anyhow I forget who it was they said that the game is come straight to X box or will be coming sooner which its not out until xbox until 2005. Also the only reasone they made em better is because who wants to play a game already out the same copy of it. It was the same thing they said about Twin snakes it's a good game but we already seen it. I bet this game will be the same for Xbox. Because be4 they had more time to change it lol.
Heres the thing from IGN: June 21, 2004 - According to Netherlands videogame magazine, Power Unlimited, Rockstar Games Vice President of Creative, Dan Houser has confirmed that the upcoming mega-sequel Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will not support online in any shape or form. Reportedly, the team at Rockstar felt that the GTA world was way too big to implement online effectively and have decided to leave the feature out altogether. We contacted Rockstar representatives ourselves to confirm the statement and immediately had the story corroborated by a Rockstar rep. "Yes," replied the spokesperson. "Dan's statement would be correct." Though GTA won't be online this time around, we're pretty sure that it won't deter its dedicated fan base much if at all. And to test that theory for ourselves, we'll be back with more on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.

A 2-Player GTA game would own!

ya it would so would a online one lol. I could see it me and a buddy going down the streets killing ppl left and right lol

The main character is named Carl Jhonson and he is black

Quick question. In San Andreas, you don't play a mobster right? You play some guy who just got home, and something happens to your family. I haven't had the time to read the Gameinformer issue with San Andreas on the cover.

Well you play as a gangster named Carl Johnson who comes back to his hometown of San Andreas to find out that his brother was killed. CJ then goes out to look for his brothers killers, but dirty cops have framed him into killing his own brother. So then basically everyone is against you at first, including your own brother and sister.And now you have to prove to everyone that you didnt commit the murder and get revenge on the cops who framed.

Actually CJ returns home to LOS SANTOS mainly because his brother was killed. But when he gets home his mom is murdered. Then 2 dirty cops frame him for homicide.

But the coolest thing i read in the review is you are in a gang and you can recruit mebers if would ever need to.

His mom gets killed too?

Do the cops frame him for his brother's murder or his mom's murder?

I think his moms???

As much as i hate the ghetto theme, im buying this game (despite the fact i said i wasnt a while ago). im sure the ghetto theme will only be in that one part of the game (mobsters have got to run some casino in the las vegas area). plus, where else can i play as a fat guy with an afro (assuming not getting a haircut with result with something like that).

AFI covered a NIN song for this game.

You're dead to me, world.
Fuck you, Rockstar.

L33T!

LOL, but seriously if that's the case then Rockstar must not give a shit about "realism", seeing as how this game "supposedly" is set in the early 90's.

Well, that's when the original came out. Sort of.

You know, that's a growing new trend that I'm beginnning to hate: developers trying to be clever, but fail.
