I give it a 6, I don't like it that much but I can see the value in it. I had some fun playing it but I still don't get why people think it's so good.

I wouldn't give this game anything higher than a 9. I was upset by the epic fail in cheats, which they used to be so creative at. They made the aiming reticule impossible use without wasting a bunch of ammo while shooting from vehicles. I don't know why they made it into this tiny impossible to see dot. Purchased and modded vehicles disappearing all the time and still not being able to connect to their online servers is just ridiculous.

The game is still amazing, and there is a lot to do in San Andreas, but if you are looking to just jump in and have fun with the cheats and not looking to do missions, you are in for an upset. And even at 100% flying skill you still fly choppers like you're in a boat, lots of bobbing up and down. To get rid of wanted stars with a cheat, you now have to do it star by star, and the cheats are no longer accessible through the phone- a step backwards if you ask me.

I've already quit the game and probably won't return to it for a while. Every time I do a mission or win a race with a purchased vehicle, it disappears. And money is too hard to come across to want to just say fuck it to 60k worth of mods on top of an already expensive vehicle purchased in the game. And the race I won only gave $450.

I have to say though, Trevor is quite the character! Definitely my favorite of the 3. I really can't say too much about online, I still haven't been able to connect to their servers, maybe one day.

Very interesting to hear all the different opinions! :D

Probably an 8-8.5. By no means a bad game, just not brilliant. It was also very, very easy. No missions stood out as an 'OMG I did it!' moment so there was no sense of achievement to completing it. I may go back and play it again at some point when I get it back, but more likely it will sit on my shelf until someone else wants to borrow it.
