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.

xbox 360 repair guide In Detail
Fun game, but not good for easy points. Tip #3: Custom Paintjobs Aren’t As Difficult As They Seem We have all seen the crazy paintjobs people are putting on their cars, and I know that most people are pretty intimidated by the whole process, but it really isn’t that hard. X-Men 3: Play through the game to earn them all.One of the best things about the Xbox 360 is the achievements that are built into every game. Command and Conquer 3: Not too terribly difficult, just time consuming. For a really great tutorial, check out the Custom Decal Tutorial from Neubourn on the ForzaMotorsport. NCAA Football 2007: Easy points if you intend on playing it quite a bit. Please, don’t do this. Can be difficult. 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. You aren’t any more or less of a gamer if you need a little help Tip #2: Don’t Sell Your Crappy Prize Cars In The Auction HouseIt isn’t nearly as bad now as it was when the game launched, but I still see it a lot. For more detailed tuning tips, there is a great tuning guide at the Turn 10 Studios Developer Blog that should help you out. Ghost Recon: Advance Warfighter: Split fairly even between single-player and Xbox Live. The pseudo real-time / turn based gameplay flows at a great pace that always keeps you in the game so you feel like you are in control rather than just watching like in, say, Final Fantasy. Monster Madness: Difficult game with difficult achievements. And it all adds up into a neat and tidy gamerscore that you can share with your friends at sites such as GamerScoreChart. Virtua Fighter
