    Cons: graphics aren't pristine, camera logic needs some work, over the top adult content

    Sep 19, 2009
    Pros: Not enough space, but I'll just name one... soundtrack.
    Cons: Some minor stuff mentioned in the review.

    Summary: The Grand Theft Auto series reaches another level in many different ways. First off, there are twice as many features as there was in Vice City or any other GTA game for that matter. Then we have a bigger map with three different cities and ... read more

  • A high mark in the controversial Grand Theft Auto series

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 8, 2009
    Pros: Incredibly detailed linear and nonlinear gaming experience; massive potential for strategy and tactics
    Cons: Game undoubtedly not for everyone; some minor control issues (though generally improved); occasional graphical glitches

    Summary: The Grand Theft Auto series seems to be even more controversial than the near-hysteria surrounding Mortal Kombat I remember from my 1990s youth.  I can certainly understand wanting to keep GTA games away from children, and also ... read more

  • Taking a trip to San Andreas?

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 4, 2008
    Pros: Violent, gritty, it's like strongly linked to the rap music 'gangsta' culture.
    Cons: Too violent, gritty, and profanity laced for most parent's taste.

    Summary: Did you ever wonder why Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was briefly banned from American stores? Did you know much about the game at the time, or understand that the 'dirty little secret' programmed into the game was really only a very small part of the ... read more

    Pros: Freedom to roam, plenty of levels to beat.
    Cons: Might promote senseless violence.

    Summary: This is a pretty neat game, although that's probably a good thing because I really don't want to find myself playing this game. It is fun to play and you don't have to kill people, but killing people is really not my thing. This is an easy game to ... read more

    Pros: good graphics/fun to play continusously
    Cons: can be innapropriate for some people of a certain age.

    Summary: You will never find a game like GTA San Andreas. The world sits on the palm of your hand. You can hold it gingerly with cautious care, or make a tight fist and crush it. When playing Grand Theft Auto you will most certainly do the second choice. Have ... read more

    Jan 24, 2006
    Pros: Radio X soundtrack. "Killing in the Name Of". 'nuff said.
    Cons: By now you would think they would have a "Nuke Paris" mission.

    Summary: I have to be honest with you. I'm not much of a gamer. I've played around some with Vice City after J.P finished the story line. I am still overwhelmed by the lawlessness of these games. The idea that I can approach a cop on the street and pound his ... read more
