Can you turn off CJ's dialogue in this version?

This game was sightly less fun than the others and due to the ear grating dialogue.

CJ is such a fucking whining bitch for a gangster.

I have it. Such a quality game, now I know what everyone was talking about.

I just finished all the OG Loc missions, and I got a cell phone call from Tenpenny.

"GTA: How to be a Nigga" is a pretty good game, but I really wish you could just turn off the main charater's voice, or ALL of them for that matter.

"YO Homie.. wuss da haps down thur?"
"no fuckity fuckity fuck fuck fuck fuck idea fuck fuck man!"
"cheel braw. I no it ain't no thang"
"awwwiiight. we see you in da hood"

Jesus christ. I just skip past all the cutscenes if I decide to play missions. I turned off the radio before even listening to any songs. I bet anything it's chock full of Tupac ,Biggiee Bigg Big Smally Smalls, Snoop Dog, and all kinds of other crap ass music.

Decent game though. Same as the other two, but I like the planes and the motorcycles.

Yeah, I picked it up. Played about ten minutes worth and then moved on to Kingdom Under Fire. GTA:SA = mad jaggies glore; the eyes...they burn. Seriously, looking long distances outside of the camera zoom is painful because all I see is Super Mario block-like ugliness. Rushed? Feels like it. Eww.

Back to Morrowind, so purdy.

Is the games MSRP $50?

I'd like to try GTA: SA out as I secretly dream of being an early 90's gangsta who drinks 40ozs in Compton.

This might explain my fascination with "in the hood" movies such as Boyz in the Hood.

As soon as I knew what the concept for this new GTA game was, I lost all interest in it. I mean, come on. The whole Italian gangster in the 80s thing from Vice City was amazing and very original, but "gangsta niggaz" from the early 90's? Who wants to play that? Not me, that's for sure.

You can donate it to the needy and cheap (i.e. ME). ;)

It looks ugly, its racist in the extreme, but its still quite fun.
Just trying to recreate the Alvin Straight story by driving a lawnmower across America makes it worth while.

Well while the graphics don't really matter, and the actual storyline of the game is uber-ghey, the gameplay is still really fun. I love going on rampages and then stealing cop cars. I always liked having cops chase me, and since you can swim in this game, the idiot cops will chase after you into the water, and then die. it's hilarious.

Free roaming over the landscape, plus the many kinds of minigames, are part of the highlights of this game. But there is one police-related self-made gamemode, that I really enjoy in this game. Machine Gun-less Vigilante takedowns, using the Police motorcyle. It's not Chase HQ anymore, it's something a bit more difficult but more fun (IMO) to do. Find a way to run down perps with a police cycle without losing them or getting killed, then get them out of the car and take them down. Being that this way, you can't shoot from the bike, adds that added tension on how are you going to stop them and get them out. It's entirely possible to do, within the timelimit, and that's what makes it a decent challenge. Since everything is random in Vigilante missions, there's unlimited situations you can find yourself in.

Mayne, GTA games are tight as fuck but the only problems I got wit em' is that the missions are way too fuckin hard, i always gotta use the cheat codes in the games. We all know why GTA games are popular and shit. Commiting crime, jackin cars, shootin shit up, cops chasin ya, killin crooked officers..mayne, GTA is real clean if you ask me.

I knew a few of you gaming bitches was gonna be complaining about the theme. Theme is the tightest out all of them and PUNJABEE, they ain't no damn biggie in this one, Biggie is a NY rapper. San Andreas is themed in 90's Cali. And there's only ONE 2pac song.

This is the best theme cuz finally they show my people in this and they kept it clean, ya know. Usually, we get hated on by Hollywood LA, even though we make up 40% of the population. And they put two latin rap acts in there, Legend Kid Frost and Cyrpess Hill. Viva La Raza. Holla.

This game is hideous,the dialog will dumb you down if that's not the case already and the landscape atmosphere will have your eyes straining to see what the hell is going on resulting in a migraine.
The cop pursuits are a joke compared to the previous installments,they removed the package feature and replaced it with this grafitti taggin' sh8t,
every radio station sounds the same,etc.
Rockstar abused the usage of cuss words equal to that of an elementary school kid knowing mommy is not around.
Hidden agenda took over and sat ART out on it's ass in this one...
Can we return to Liberty City already and find out what happened to Donald Love?
