When he returns in the early 90s, his mother has been killed, his family has fallen apart and his childhood friends are criminals. When crooked cops frame him for murder, he decides to save himself and his family by taking over the streets. Advanced role-playing elements -- Unlike previous GTA characters, Carl can swim and he needs to eat to survive Side missions help develop skills that come into play later -- from working out at the gym to gambling in a casino Windows 2000 / XP

Customer Reviews

Windows 7 Compatability5 To start out: GTA SA is one of the best games I've ever played. I beat the game years ago and STILL play it on a daily basis. I recently got a new computer with Windows 7 on it and had a few problems getting it to start. After hours of googling and tons of dead-end leads and failed atempts I finally got it working: It is important to run BOTH the setup.exe AND the game launcher in Compatibility mode (Windows XP SP3). (I had been problem-solving with an install that wasn't run in an Windows XP shell.) I hope this helped someone. Fun, but this is the neutered version4 Remember folks, this is a simulator. DO NOT DO WHAT YOU SEE IN THIS GAME IN REAL LIFE. Now with that legal disclaimer out of the way, here is my review: While I enjoyed driving around the State of San Andreas, it's too bad that some lawyer with nothing better to do cried like a little baby and made Rockstar neuter the game (called "Cold Coffee" by fans) - the one reason alone it doesn't get a 5 star rating. You start life in Los Santos (Los Angeles) having been release from prison. You're picked up by a couple of crooked cops who take you to your rival's turf. Fans who want the "goods": This is the "Second Edition" which makes your coffee cold :( Gameplay? It takes a moment, but it's a blast once you're used to the controls. Highly recommended for the 18+ crowd who are mature and responsible about things. Parents: This is NOT for the kids. There's a reason it's rated M for Mature. Awesome game!!5 It is an awesome game I play it all day everyday. Highly recommend it to young adults or people who just want to have fun
