O melhor jogo da história e o melhor do mundo todo Grand Theft Auto San Andreas
Jun 17, 2026

I finished the game after around 50 hours. I finally took the time to sit down and actually play through the whole game instead of playing the first few missions and just dropping it afterwards (I know it's stupid), and since GTA 6 will be coming out soon, there's no better time to fully play through this game. As I'm writing this, I'm just now realizing how generational this game is. For a game that came out in 2004, this game was WAY ahead of its time, one of the best open-world games I have ever played, and probably my favorite GTA game of all time, now surpassing GTA 5 for me. The gameplay is incredible; there's so much you can do in this game, it's amazing. The game features role-playing/life simulator elements, you can go to the gym and work out to gain muscle and stamina, and you can also eat so much that you get fat. The more you swim underwater, the more your lung capacity also improves, which is awesome! This game even has a weapon proficiency system! The more you use a weapon, the more your accuracy will improve. The more you drive and the more you fly, the better you will get. You can learn DIFFERENT fighting styles. You can even recruit gang members and take over gang territories! (Do y'all see what I mean when I said this game was ahead of its time? THIS IS INCREDIBLE! WHY IS THIS SYSTEM NOT INCLUDED IN ANY MAINLINE GTA GAME AFTER THIS??? WHY WERE WE GOING BACKWARDS??? It is actually mind-boggling and insane that this wasn't brought back for GTA 4 and 5. Hopefully, this is brought back in GTA 6, because this RPG/Life sim element can really have potential if they bring it back and improve on it more.) There are also a LOT of side activities/missions you can do! Such as: taxi driver, paramedic, firefighter, vigilante missions, pimping, valet, burglary, trucking, driving/flying/boat schools, spraying tags, getting collectibles, and SO MUCH MORE!!! The main missions are also really fun; some were annoying or were just outright terrible, but for the most part, the missions were good to great. The final mission, "End Of The Line," is easily the best mission in the game and probably the best final mission in the series; that mission right there is just what defines "Grand Theft Auto". Iconic mission. The map IS INCREDIBLE (and WAY BETTER than GTA 5). You have three whole cities (Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas) and a desert that you can explore, each with many different things that you can do. Truly amazing. The story is also incredible from start to finish, CJ is one of the best video game protagonists ever, and this game also has a memorable cast of characters as well. To conclude, GTA San Andreas is one of the greatest games of all time, and is now my favorite GTA game of all time (So far). Truly a timeless classic that I will definitely come back to here and there. If you haven't, please play this game, you will enjoy it! Highly recommend. 10/10

Gerçekten 95 puan mı oyun dünyasına bunca yeni mantık getirmesine rağmen yazarlarımız tarafından 95 puana layık görülmüştür şaka gibi bir puanlama 2004 yılında çıkmış ve zamanını değiştiren bir oyun için sadece yazık diyorum oyun dünyası kimlerin ellerinde

Una obra maestra del mundo abierto que llevó la fórmula de GTA a su máxima expresión en su época, siendo uno de juegos más completos e influyentes de la historia.
Mundo enorme y variado.
Muchísimo contenido.
Historia y personajes memorables.
Libertad total de gameplay.
Gran evolución respecto a entregas anteriores.
Puntos débiles:
Controles envejecidos.
Algunas mecánicas pocas pulidas.
IA irregular

Few games manage to define an entire generation of players, but *Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas* does exactly that—and more. Released at a time when open-world games were still finding their footing, Rockstar delivered an experience that felt impossibly ambitious for its era. Even today, it remains one of the most influential and recognizable titles ever created. Set in the fictional state of San Andreas, the game follows Carl “CJ” Johnson as he returns home to Los Santos after years away. What begins as a personal story about family and loyalty quickly expands into a sprawling narrative about crime, corruption, and survival. The writing is sharp, the characters are memorable, and the voice performances give the world a level of personality that few games at the time could match. What truly set *San Andreas* apart was its sheer scale. Three massive cities—Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas—are connected by countryside, deserts, forests, and small towns, each with its own identity. The sense of freedom was staggering. Players could follow the main story, or spend hours racing cars, customizing vehicles, buying properties, building CJ’s skills, or simply exploring the map. The game trusted players to create their own stories, and that design philosophy helped redefine what open-world gaming could be. The gameplay systems were equally ambitious. RPG-style character progression allowed CJ to gain muscle, lose weight, improve driving, shooting, and stamina. The customization options—from clothing and hairstyles to vehicle modifications—added an extra layer of immersion that made players feel personally connected to their character. Combined with an incredible soundtrack spanning hip-hop, rock, funk, and more, the world of San Andreas felt alive in a way few games had achieved before. Of course, the game wasn’t just big—it was bold. Its satire of American culture, its gritty yet often humorous storytelling, and its willingness to push boundaries made it stand out even among its contemporaries. Rockstar didn’t just build a game; they built a cultural moment. Nearly two decades later, *Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas* still stands as one of the most iconic games ever made. Its scale, freedom, and personality set a benchmark that many modern titles still strive to reach. For its time—and arguably even today—it represents the peak of open-world ambition. **Score: 10/10 — A landmark in gaming history and one of the most important video games ever released.**

Auch in 2026 ist das Spiel Goldwert. Das einzige was ich kritisieren würde ist dass die Leute die das Spiel zum ersten Mal spielen werden, den wird das Game nicht so gefallen weil es nicht mehr so gut aussieht.

Since I was little, I have loved playing this game on PlayStation 2 with my friends, starting from completing missions in the game to playing multiplayer, and until now I play this game in the roleplay version where I meet many new people who are fans of this game, I never get bored of playing this game even though the graphics can be said to be quite bad, all the memories in this game will never be forgotten

The true king of the series. The scale of the game is still mind-blowing: three massive cities, character progression, and incredible freedom of action. It’s not just an action game; it’s an entire era. A gold standard for open-world games that remains infinitely replayable.

O GOAT da Rockstar! O protagonista é pura aura, os antagonistas são muito marcantes, fazem coisas muito melhores pra época do que o próprio GTA V! Não dá pra bater de frente com esse aí não.

Es destacable entender hasta qué punto el sistema interactivo de San Andreas llevó el potencial de la PS2 a su máximo en un mecanismo tan interactivo como increíblemente infantil. No es un juego que se disfrute pero es un gran acierto a nivel de lo que ha supuesto. Postal lo supera en cuanto a diversión y estupidez. Los diálogos, como todo lo que ha hecho Rockstar en los GTA, están creados por un niño de 12 años que se pasa el día bebiendo Monster.

After 41 hours and 48 minutes in San Andreas, I'm convinced this is one of the greatest video games ever made. It's a game that dared to be everything at once — a crime epic, a satire, a playground, a character study, a technical marvel — and somehow succeeded. The story is engaging and emotionally resonant, the world is vast and alive, the gameplay is varied and deep, and the sheer amount of content is staggering. Yes, it has flaws. Some missions are frustrating, the controls are dated, and the ambition occasionally outpaces the execution. But these are minor blemishes on a game that achieves so much. San Andreas isn't just a technical achievement; it's a creative one. It's a game with vision, heart, and soul — a game that understands the power of place, the importance of character, and the joy of freedom. GTA III proved the concept. Vice City perfected the style. San Andreas transcended the formula and became something more — a cultural phenomenon, a benchmark for open-world design, and a game that still holds up two decades later. It's not just the best GTA game of its era; it's one of the defining games of an entire generation. If you've never played San Andreas, you owe it to yourself to experience it. If you have, you already know. This is a masterpiece — ambitious, flawed, brilliant, and unforgettable. It's a game that respects your time by giving you endless ways to spend it, a game that tells a compelling story while letting you write your own, a game that looks back at the 90s with nostalgia, satire, and genuine affection. Grove Street. Home. At least it was before CJ messed everything up. And what a beautiful mess it is.

GTA San Andreas was a very good game when it was launched back in 2004. Its soundtrack was a 10/10 and it brought several game concepts such as working out and getting stronger or eating too much and getting overweight. It was absolutely a master piece for the time. 10/10

i passed a good week playing it, but the main character have less charisma and braincells than an oister. The Story was written by a 12yo but there was a lot of funny activities and optional quest. A bad GTA, a good saints row i suppose

My Review – Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – 10/10
I gave Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas a 10 out of 10 because it’s massive, immersive, and endlessly fun. The world is huge and varied, the story is engaging, and the characters are unforgettable.
The gameplay is incredibly deep — from driving, shooting, and customizing your character to exploring cities, countryside, and everything in between. The freedom to do whatever you want, combined with memorable missions, an iconic soundtrack, and a vibrant world, makes it one of the best in the series and a timeless classic.
This is why GTA: San Andreas is a 10 out of 10.

This did not age well. Its so clunky. I played for 10 hours and im still not used to controls. How come? I cant imagine playing this game on original hardware, with insane input lag and fps drops. 60fps patch for emulator helps a lot but controls are **** anyway. Mission quality is inconsistent as hell. At first the game is nice, small and cozy. Bite sized simple missions with lore and polish, later it becomes a disjointed mess. I can see that its certainly one of the best games on the platform but its objectively bad in quite a lot of aspects. If you ever want to play it just please choose the PC version (original, not the Definitive Edition) its so much easier and less frustrating.

Simplesmente perfeito, CJ, o personagem principal é sensacional, super carismático, a história é muito boa, contendo personagens e complementos muito legais e interessantes, 3 cidades com gangues diferentes, missões divertidas do início ao fim, corridas de carro, pichações para cobrir, ostras e ferraduras para encontrar, opção de modificação dos carros, missões de paramédico, policial, bombeiro e taxi, guerras de gangue com dominações de território, academia e um mundo aberto melhor que muito jogo novo, simplesmente uma obra de arte.
