Prior to its release for the PlayStation 2, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was one of the most highly anticipated video games of 2004, along with Halo 2 . San Andreas met most of these expectations, as it was praised as one of the PlayStation 2's best games, with an average review score on 95%, according to Metacritic, tying for the fifth highest ranked game in PlayStation 2 history. IGN rated the game a 9.9/10 (the highest score it has ever awarded to a PlayStation 2 game), calling it "the defining piece of software" for the PlayStation 2. GameSpot rated the game 9.6/10, giving it an Editor's Choice award. San Andreas also received an A rating from the 1UP.com network and a 10/10 score from Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine. Common praises were made about the game's open-endedness, the size of the state of San Andreas, and the engaging storyline and voice acting. Most criticisms of the game stemmed from graphical mishaps, poor character models, and low-resolution textures, as well as various control issues, particularly with auto-aiming at enemies. Some critics commented that while a lot of new content had been added to San Andreas , little of it had been refined or implemented well.

Sales

By March 3, 2005, the game had sold over 12 million units for the PlayStation 2 alone. As of September 25, 2007, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the best-selling video game in the United States with 8.6 million copies sold, ahead of its predecessors Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto III , according to the NPD Group. As of September 26, 2007, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has sold 20 million units according to Take-Two Interactive. As of March 26, 2008, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has sold 21.5 million units according to Take-Two Interactive.

Hot Coffee controversy

In mid-June 2005, a software patch for the game dubbed the "Hot Coffee mod" was released by Patrick Wildenborg (under the Internet alias "PatrickW"), a 38-year old modder from the Netherlands, who had reverse engineered the code. The name "Hot Coffee" refers to the way the released game alludes to the unseen sex scenes. In the unmodified game, the player takes his girlfriend to her front door and she asks him if he would like to come in for "some coffee". He agrees, and the camera stays outside, swaying back and forth a bit, while moaning sounds are heard.

After installing the patch, users can enter the main character's girlfriends' houses and engage in a crudely rendered, fully clothed sexual intercourse mini-game. Later in June 2005, a console 'hacker' known as Jay "FNG" released an "Action Replay Power Save" for the Xbox console, enabling the "Hot Coffee" mini-game. On July 12, 2005, Jay "FNG" released codes for the Action Replay game enhancer that allowed the scenes to be accessed in the PlayStation 2 console version. The fallout from the controversy resulted in a public response from high-ranking politicians in the United States and resulted in the game's recall and re-release.

On July 20, 2005, production of the game was suspended and the game received a revised ESRB Rating of Adults Only, making San Andreas the only mass-released AO console game in the US. Rockstar has given distributors the option of applying an Adults Only ESRB rating sticker to copies of the game, or returning them to be replaced by versions without the Hot Coffee content. Many retailers pulled the game off their shelves in compliance with their own store regulations that kept them from selling AO games. Rockstar North released a "Cold Coffee" patch for the PC version and re-released San Andreas with an M rating. The PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions have also been re-released in a "GTA Trilogy Pack" for Xbox, and a Special Edition for PlayStation 2 that includes the documentary film Sunday Driver .

On 8 November 2007 Take-Two announced a proposed settlement to the class action litigation that had been brought against them following the Hot Coffee controversy. If the proposed settlement is approved by the court, neither Take-Two nor Rockstar would admit liability or wrongdoing. Consumers would be able to swap their AO-rated copies of the game for M-rated versions and may also qualify for a $35 cash payment upon signing a sworn statement.

A report in The New York Times on 25 June 2008 revealed that a total of 2676 claims for the compensation package had been filed.

Myths

Shortly after the release of the game, several message boards sprouted claims of alleged in-game Bigfoot sightings, UFOs, Leatherface, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Loch Ness Monster, CJ's mother's ghost and ghost cars. Several photographs were released, purporting to support the myths, but none have ever proven to be real. Rockstar addressed the rumor of Bigfoot in the game in an article in the January 2005 edition of Electronic Gaming Monthly ; Rockstar CEO Terry Donovan is quoted as saying, "There is no Bigfoot, just like in real life."

The Introduction

The Introduction , an in-engine video, was provided on a DVD with the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Official Soundtrack , as well as the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Special Edition re-release for the PlayStation 2. The 26-minute movie chronicles the events leading up to the events in San Andreas and provides insight on the development of the characters of the game, to the point when Carl learns of his mother's death in a phone call from Sweet and returns to Los Santos.

    Just play single-player. Marvel Ultimate Alliance: Very easy, just play through the game. Ninja Gaiden BlackNinja Gaiden Black is an updated version of 2004’s amazing Ninja Gaiden. NASCAR 08: Bad game. You can get an easy 75-100 points in pretty much every game, but I would not recommend Smash TV or Bejeweled 2 as they feature some extremely tough achievements. It can be difficult, but once you get over the learning curve it isn’t too bad. There are a couple tough ones, but the game is so fun you won’t mind. FIFA 08: For hardcore soccer fans only.Madden NFL 06: Very easy to get all 1000 in an afternoon. Burnout Revenge: It can be rather time consuming to collect all of the single-player achievements, but you’ll be having so much fun you won’t notice. Blue Dragon: The game is great, but it takes a long long time to earn the points.9. Half-Life 2Half-Life 2 has made the transition from PC to Xbox mostly intact and the result is one of the best gaming experiences on the system. Very fun. Amped 3: Earn them all by playing through single-player. Jet Set Radio FutureJet Set Radio Future doesn’t get nearly the credit it deserves. Virtua Fighter 5: Large time commitment to earn them. Read them before you make any changes so you understand how and why things are changing. 4. Achievements are tied to beating the game on different difficulty levels, which is a royal, time consuming, pain. Final Fantasy XI: Extremely hard to earn.6.
