It's somewhat scratched up. I have used 2300 cheats or something like that. That was when I was stupid and didn't know what it was like to finish a game without cheats.

[Sunrise Driver]

Buy of course. Best GTA ever.

[devilrock28]

Alright, I'm playing it through again to see when it freezes. So far it's only frozen once. Last time I tried to play again Running Dog and Beach Party were not cooperating with me and froze everytime I tried to complete them. Hopefully now they don't freeze.

 

I checked for scratches on the CD and I realized there has to be at least 50 scratches on it. Don't know where they came from though.

[lil weasel]

You didn't say what platform.

So it you're having a problem with specific missions on PC download those games from the pnp help forum and see if they crash. then you don't have to play all the way through just to be disapointed.

If they work then carryon with a new start game.

I'm on the PS2 but I'm replaying the game on the PS3. When I play it on the PS3 it doesn't crash as much as it does when I try it on the PS2. My saves with 67% are on my PS2 memory card though. But whatever.

[SarahPilko]

If you were to buy it again, I say you should get it for PC version. 1000000000000000000000 times better than PS2 version.

 

Better graphics

You can mod it

You can edit

Fixed bugs/glitches

Multiplayer function can be added

and to be honest.. More fun, supposely because of the mods and the graphics xD

[devilrock28]

Well, my computer is almost completely full so I can't use it on my desktop. Unless I buy a laptop or a new desktop, that's not an option.

[lil weasel]

If HD space is the limiter, how about getting a USB Flash Drive 1+ gig for about $19.00US.

Will that hold the game?

[Vinnie]

Well why not just get a larger hard drive or a secondary drive, or remove junk, if you really don't need it disabling system restore can give you huge amounts of space back.

I can't say I'd recommend that solution, Flash Drives will be increadibly slow compared to an Internal (or even external HDD) and then you have to consider the write cycles to it if you're going to modify the game. Not to mention it won't be as reliable and could be prone to crashing.

 

You'd need to buy an expensive, branded reliable flash drive over 6GB For SA To run reliably on which case you'd probably be best and cheaper getting another HDD.

Alright thanks. I'll look into a flash drive with more space or an HDD. I have a external hard drive but it's messed up and it's hard to put things on it. It doesn't hold much either.

Couldn't have been said any better, PC owns!

[devilrock28]

I'll look into the PC version. I looked it up online and saw that it's cheaper than the PS2 version in Best Buy. The PS2 version is $19.99 and the PC version is $9.99.

 

Sorry guys, but I have another question. How much space did the PC version take up on your computer?

[lil weasel]

Manual says:

3.8 GB minimum

4.7 GB Suggested for full installation. (my system uses 4.68 game files + 54.5 MB (57,233,408 bytes save files, etc.)

Multiplayer as in playing with other people on different computes?

 

There are two big San Andreas Mods:

• SA-MP
• MTA

Both are very good and enjoyable, but you need V1 of the GTASA.exe file to play.

[NickRad]

I was wondering is this worth it for Pc. Is the mp good and is modding easy?

Thanks

[NinjaWJ]

yes i think it is worth it!! well for me it was because my ps2 broke like 3-4 years ago and i was dying for some nostalgic GTA action so i got the PC version. Personally i haven't played multi theft auto yet but beware the second edition (V2) of GTASA isnt compatible with mods however you can downgrade your version so it is compatible with mods. GTASA has tons of mods out there so if you are into that stuff i suggest you get GTA!

[IMarwanI]

if your going to get GTA SA get the 1.0 version

 

and you can download a program called "SA-MP" which makes GTA SA multiplayer

[Pooka Mustard]

Get the first version of it, like what the above said.

Of course, modding is not implemented in the second version,

but I heard in Glenster's guide (found on GameFAQs.com),

that you can have the second version mod-able, and mod

it with the first version's mod. Not sure if that will work with you.

[Conbolical]

You can't buy the V1 in stores.

Just buy the original game (V2) and if your going to mod then download the patch to V1

Simple.

[Pooka Mustard]

I did bought V1 from a local store nearby.

WIth "stores", you mean some like eBay, and Amazon.

We're looking for those in local game stores, not those big sites.

[Conbolical]

I thought all V1s got a recall back in 05.

I bought mine in 06.

Hence why i don't have V1.

[DylRicho]

Hell yeah, I'd recommend getting it for PC. As for the modding, I don't think it's that difficult once you know what you're doing, but if you want to mod, you need the first version of the game. No matter if you get version 2 like me, you can downgrade it with a patch to version 1. V1 isn't available in shops now, unless you're getting it from places like eBay or Amazon, but V2 should still be available in popular gaming shops, since the game is ranked as one of the best of all time.

 

The additional downloadable multiplayer feature is good too. Judging by the fun the videos look on the sampdev YouTube channel, I say go for it. Multiplayer is free to download too.

Like all members above, i completely agree.

You should get the game, and the V1 version.

Single player is long, with various and exciting missions (especially the last ones), and SA-MP should prolong the expirience.

As for modding, it's easy to install modes, and relatively easy to mod if you know what you are doing.

If both SP and MP bore you, you can just mess around and discover new things to do.

[DylRicho]

Yeah if you've never played it before, wow are you missing something. There are like almost 150 vehicles in the game, if not more, the single player storyline is pretty long and entertaining (and since it's on PC, it'll make it more of a challenge with the controls), and you'll also get really into this storyline. There are tonnes of things to do in this game as well.
