Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Reviews

by Baryonyx86

No cheat! Takes 99.9% of all the fun away. The only cheats ai mostly wanted also were the weapons cheat, the no star cheat so I could roam all round the map without a stupid 4 stars, and actually all the ones that my ps2 had. Also the reason I want this is I don’t care to play story I just like exploring areas...but nope!
...Also they put 666 on some vehicles license plates which were NEVER in the older version...really offends me!🤬
Also you can’t even run over pedestrians with bikes anymore because they all jump out of the way. The original game wasn’t like that. There is still no grass and weeds in the fields.
Boy...if only they just kept the original version instead of graphics and updates..uptade...I really would prefer the older graphics to I really hate these updates to make these graphics better. There is so much detail they try to add these older iphones and androids can’t take it All. In other words we are loosing important detail such as brake lights amd streetlights. I really just want the original graphics. Also This is a problem be ause of all this detail they try to add there isn’t enough space in the older systems to add parked cars and motorcycles that were in the original. To be honest I believe the original game had much more added in it. Im sticking with the playstation 2 game

I love this game and I want to play this on my iPad which is why I bought the trilogy but there is two things standing in the way of me really enjoying this game and it’s such a stupid problem because there’s no reason it can’t be fixed.. my issue is that there is literally no way to free aim when you’re using a controller. The only aiming you can do is by locking on to targets. This ruins a lot of the gameplay for me. I can’t shoot at cars or anywhere I want, only at people close enough that I can lock onto them and that’s it. Not only that but locking on will also mess with my camera where if I could just free aim, I wouldn’t have this issue. I even went into the settings to ensure free aim was enabled but it still does not work for controller. I don’t understand this. If they fixed this issue, I would give all three games 5 stars easily but for now, I can’t do that bc of how much it effects my ability to enjoy these classic titles. The SECOND issue is that there is no way to input cheats into these ports. Like.. what. Why. How can you tell me I can play this classic GTA trilogy and not use the iconic cheats for these games? Unbelievable.

I’ve been playing this on my iPad. It’s a fun game but the controls are cumbersome and too sensitive, even with sensitivity turned all the way down. There is no rhyme or reason to the camera angles when turning while walking or running. The camera pans all over the place and I sometimes end up staring at my own face. During gun fights, I’m getting shot while I try to reorient myself. It would be nice if the view would stay first person so I can see where I am going. When driving some vehicles, especially at high speeds, the slightest touch of a direction control sends me into a spin or into obstacles. It would also be nice if the route to a target was highlighted on the heads-up map instead of having to guess which way to go. This would be especially helpful in the countryside portions of the map. On long routes, I need to pause the game multiple times to check my position on the overall map so I can continue on. The further I progressed in the game, the less I actually wanted to play it and I ended up deleting the game. Dealing with the game interface and controls took the enjoyment out of it.

I’ve tried to play this game twice now. The first time I was dumb enough to not save in the cloud(because I didn’t want to make an account) and I got very far along in it then GrandTheftAuto started completely crashing when I opened it. Every time I’d open GrandTheftAuto , it would crash. Rockstar themselves recommended to re download GrandTheftAuto so I did and lost my whole progress 🤡 so I started again because I wanted to finish it and got pretty far but then it started crashing again! (This time I saved it under the cloud so I hope my progress is there)There are also bugs that get you stuck walking into walls/other things. I LOVE the game.. but the bugs have been SO FRUSTRATING
Update: the cloud saved my progress this time so if you play this game make sure to sign into their social club and save under the cloud slots.
Update again(the next day) app has started crashing again just from opening it. I am extremely disappointed as I wanted to finish the game and don’t think I’ll be able to if this keeps up
Final update: I’m now not even able to sign into their social club to get my progress so I finally just have to give up on this game sadly.(ik I wrote like a novel in my review I’m just very disappointed as this game is amazing when it works)

First off, I’d like to say that I love this game so much and I play it pretty much everyday. Aside from that, I wanted to point out the problems I’ve been having which also get in the way of me completing missions. The cars go so fast on the streets that they submerge into each other and explode. If I’m driving my car or bike is likely to get caught up into another car and blow up. Cars even go so fast that they fly in the sky. I deleted my app, and reinstalled it, restarted/rebooted my phone, and followed everything everyone advised online and nothing helps. I’m on the mission where I have to drive the DAs car to the garage spotless but I always fail the mission because cars always submerged into me. Sometimes my car will even get stuck into the ground where half of my car is in the ground and half of it is out but every time this happens, my car explodes. Please fix this and the game will get a 5 star rating from me. Thank you.

I’ve had to restart my game 4 times already and by that I mean the whole entire game from the start. It’s so fun that I keep doing it but it’s just happening more and more constantly. I get so far only to be brought back to the tutorial in the beginning. This game is so fun but I just can’t keep restarting bc I keep repeating missions I’ve already completed and it’s getting to the point where it’s not fun anymore. I’ve spent a lot of money on these games only to be disappointed in the quality of GrandTheftAuto . I’ve seen many reviews regarding this problem so I presume it’s not just my device with this issue. I’ve also got lagging in some parts of the game that make it very hard to play. I strongly recommend a new update fixing bugs and hope you are currently trying to fix this so the gameplay won’t be as frustrating not to just me but to everyone with this problem

I love this game, very fun, but there are a few glitches. The first one is on the robbery mission, sometimes when you get close to something CJ gets stuck on something and you can’t move which wakes up the person inside and then you get a 3 star wanted level. Another one is that the wrecking ball does not exist it is just a floating metal ball. Whenever I try to put a car in a garage it says you cannot store anymore vehicles in this garage even though my garage is completely empty and if I try to push my car in it will delete it. Another glitch I have experienced is that when I die during a gang war it gives the territory to me or it just removes it which I’m pretty sure is not supposed to happen. The last glitch happens on a date sometimes when you finish doing what she tells you to do instead of telling you to take her home, it doesn’t do that and when you do take her home you can’t drop her off, so you end up stuck with her and I have to restart the game. Also please put an option to disable tilt controls because I have to try to keep my iPad perfectly flat because if I don’t the car will pull to the other direction and it’s annoying.

This Game Was the Best GTA Games ever created. Ways to earn and spend money on stuff. This Game Was Popular in 2013 Since the Mobile Version Released. It’s 2$ more than the GTA Games But The Game Is definitely worth it. However It’s Forgiving when you die in the mobile version you keep your stuff expect when you get arrested. Since the PS2 Version you die you lose all of your weapons except cash, you get arrested you lose all your stuff. Sometimes when I load the game I get kicked from the game making me reinstall the game, but Save In cloud If that happens. There is a bug when you pull out your parachute you will die even if you’re on high altitude. You can add your purchased Apple songs in to the game. If you’re trying to look for a perfect GTA Game then GTA San Andreas is for you.

I love the mobile version of San Andreas, it’s so much fun going on a bunch of missions and game play is very easy to understand and fairly easy to play as well. However the game will not stop crashing which can be very frustrating while I am in the middle of a mission and will have to restart. At one point, about a day after my download GrandTheftAuto would load at all and would crash while on the loading screen and I would not be able the play, the happened repeatedly and my game would not load so I tried to delete and redownload thinking that the point of signing up for the social club was to save your progress, but I was mistaken and the game make we start from the original state and I had lost all of my progress. The game still crashes from time to time, hoping that that doesn’t happen again though or I will be deleting my app. Not happy that I payed $7 for an app that keeps crashing.

I enjoy playing the game and I’ve played through the game many times but I’ve been experiencing glitches that make the game difficult for me. 1. When going on a date with Michelle and she drives cj will get out of the car and not get in once she gets in. It will leave u at this far camera view and no option to move while Michelle drives out of view. U will sit there for 2 minutes then it will say progress with her has decreased and u will gain movement controls but are stuck in the camera view forcing me to quit GrandTheftAuto and go back in. Also for some reason I have a glitch where I have unlimited sprint which isn’t a bad thing but I like to play fair and earn my stamina myself but the sprint won’t allow me to lose fat as I run forcing me to go to the gym and doing it there so my fat increases a lot which is a problem if I Don’t want cj fat. I hope you guys can fix these problems

First of all, that review where it says they have to intercept the people before they reach las venturas, is not a glitch, just fly way off the map. Second, the mission dam and blast glitches bad and to move on i have to pass it. It says steal a plane and fly to the jump point on the map. I did. Its so simple its not even funny but the game wont give me any directions on what to do next and it wont give me the button to parachute out of the plane when i want to on this mission. The game is very fun and some missions are very challenging and so fun but i would give 5 stars if u could fix this. Also, please add in rocket launchers
Into ammo-nation because its so annoying when i get three stars and i have nothing to kill or take down the helicopter with and i cant snipe the pilot because there isnt 1 inside. I dont even know if a machine gun can take them down but i dont feel like wasting 800 SMG rounds to find out fix this and i will give 5 star

First of all, thanks for making this game available on iOS. Big shout out to Rockstar for that. There are a bunch of glitches but the game is still worth the purchase. I’m using in on iPhone X even thought it says it’s not supported. First glitch is the there are times where the steering wheel when driving is stuck on one side so it makes driving hard. What’s funny is I use to have this same issue on the original Xbox all those years ago and I use to beat the crap out of my control thinking it was my control, turns out it’s the game. The other issue is that it randomly exits out GrandTheftAuto , it’s especially annoying when your half way or almost done with a mission because it makes you restart it from the beginning. Other than that there isn’t any other big issues that I can say are enough to turn me away. GTA is the best game of all time. Hopefully you guys get GTA V on here at some point.

Game is great and I love being able to play one of my favorite games from the series on my iPad. However I wish that when connected to a PS4 controller you had the option to cycle through the original controls as some of the game mechanics are difficult with the controller lay out. One of the main instances being flying, especially with the hydra jet. The Hydra was one of my favorite vehicles to just get on a play around in. But even with a PS4 controller it is now so difficult to fly that it lost some of its appeal. The inability to manually control the thrusters and be able to use L1 and R1 to bank and simple things like that would be greatly appreciated.

If we had the ability to choose the original controller configurations from the original while having a controller connected I would definately give 5 stars for sure.

by Mrmichigan7

I mean I only paid 6.99 for it and it’s my favorite game but it keeps turning off on me in the middle of missions? Come on man I was surprised y’all could get the greatest game ever on an app but that does get frustrating sometimes when your into the game or in the middle of a mission at least put an auto save on there or a save option where you can pause the game and save it for the mobile app because I see this is happening for a lot of people I have an iPhone X just like millions of people this shouldn’t be a problem but it is so it should be either fixed or put a quick save option where you can pause the game other than the safe house so people who keep getting this problem won’t be annoyed.

GTA San Andreas is such a good and amazing game to play even in 2018 or 2019 it is so fun for a story to develop and end ,but you keep on wishing this game never ended because I played GTA SA again and I had a lot more fun than I did the first time but I want to play this game again in the far future to see again and since it release the early 2000’s were so lucky to get a game this good with not descent graphics but a good storyline and see how the characters develop like with CJ at the start he is a guy coming home with the death of his mom on his shoulders and at the end (spoiler if haven’t played) having to deal with corrupted friends and corrupted cops blackmailing while having to worry about his family and his life and this is why this game deserves a 5 Stars

I had recently bought Minecraft and San Andreas and finally had the chance to try out both games. Playing Minecraft was as expected but after a while, I sort of got bored and had nothing to build, whereas in GTA San Andreas, the game becomes more exciting as you play. I initially did not think much of GTA other than the freedom to shoot cops, but this edition has the main focus on gang violence in neighborhoods which continuously updates the player with new missions and things to do in the game. I tried to go back to Minecraft and continue building but only found myself back at San Andreas. It appears the game is so fun I can’t get sick of it. I highly recommend buying this game because the experience you get will be worth every penny.

As this game is from 2013, Its great. The graphics and gameplay are better than most games I’ve seen for the iPad or iPhone. Actually their fantastic. Its like playing the original, if not better. I have a wifi controller and ive been playing with that its almost the same as when playing PlayStation. I cant only imagine if apple decided to create a game system or to be able to convert video games onto iOS platforms more, such as with this game. I hope more GTA games release on GrandTheftAuto Store. Ive been playing the rockstar collection. Maybe manhunt, or something similiar. I love those games. Maybe something new specific for iOS. Who knows but i enjoy this game, and the other GTA titles. Thanks for making it possible on the iPad.

The game is as fun as I remembered it however, the controls take some getting used like shooting and looking around to shoot works so so, and the jetpack isn’t so easy because it should fly like the helicopters controls but it controls are like driving a car the reason being is the rotation control you get flying a helicopter doesn’t carry to jetpack making the green goo mission a bit tough but still playable and for those who didn’t know there is a setting in game that makes automatic acceleration turn that off if you’re car or motorcycle is driving like its being pulled to one direction the game is still fun, but if you plan on buying GrandTheftAuto do not expect the devs to fix or add something, because R* isn’t supporting the apps updates anymore.

by Cubbussan

I was a bit skeptical at first buying this, as I expected a mobile version of a console game to be severely crippled in a couple ways. As it turns out, this is legitimately the full San Andreas, slapped on top of a faster processor than your PS2 could ever fathom.
The graphics are better and load significantly faster than before.

The controls are a little clunky, but that’s a side effect of the small screen I’m playing on. After getting used to it, the game handles the same as it should. I even beat the mission “Learning to Fly” quicker than I would have on a console. I have a feeling that certain features of the game have been “dulled” or made easier to compensate for the controls— get on a motorcycle early on in the game and you’ll see what I mean.

The only downside as far as I can tell is that there are no cheats in this version. This is a really big bummer, as the cheats in this game are like a separate game built in. There is a way to modify traffic in the game, from heavy to classic to light, which is helpful on missions where you are punished for hurting your vehicle or during races.

All in all, if you like this game, this is a perfect app for you. If you never have played, it’s well worth giving a shot.

I absolutely love this game it never gets me bored I also like the story and the missions this game is basically the animated version of Gta 5. I also like the game because there's 3 big city's and gangs to fight like the north side vargos or the da nang boys in San fierro and in Las venturas there's casinos and ice cold ken does heists with you and also Salvatore leone sends you to liberty city. Plus there's the the train to take to other city's and the plane to the other city's. There's a lot of humor in this game and you can do taxi missions or be a police officer and to replenish your health you can simply just buy a slice of pizza at the well stacked pizza company or get a burger at burger shot or get some chicken at clucking bell awssssome game rockstar thank you for realsing this game on mobile and there's mod garages man you guys are awsome 😘😘😘😁🤗 but why is is a part of las venturas named las brujas
