Yeah, City I agree...

Spoiler: It took like five goes to get out of the burning crack palace, but I managed to do the second section on my first go. A bit of a fluke also as my car's life bar was depleted and flashing, luckily by that time Tenpenny's firetruck went off the bridge :)

Please help! Does anyone have a disk with the Madd Dog glitch? The mission where he tries to kill himself. He jumps before I can get the truck. It is a known glitch. Does anyone know how to fix it?

assilem-I've heard that if you get the glitch, going off to do some side missions then trying again can help.

Rockstar Games let the good news fly today, announcing that its mega-hit Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will arrive on Xbox and PC on June 7 in North America. Euro-gamers will receive the fifth game in the series June 10, 2005.

Following Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City in this generation of console systems, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas takes place in the fictitious city of San Andreas and enables players to explore cities much like LA, Las Vegas and San Francisco, all of which take place in real estate that's approximately five times bigger than the landscape found in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

The game follows the African-American Carl Johnson, who escaped from the pressures of life in Los Santos, San Andreas five years ago. Returning to his hometown upon his mother's death in the early 1990s, his family has been torn apart. The game introduces a slew of new features including eating food to survive, the freedom to completely customize your character with tattoos, clothing, and haircuts, a brand new vehicle physics engine, and the ability to swim.

If Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is anything like the GTA bundle pack before it, then Xbox and PC gamers should expect no content changes to the gameplay, but they should look forward to higher resolution graphics, and better overall graphic presentation.

Definitely good news, and a much sooner date than I had anticipated! :)

Anyone grab the soundtrack to this game? I just picked it up today, and it has a pretty cool DVD that explains a lot of what went on in the game. It's called, "The Introduction," and it acts as such. You get to see how CJ's mom died, you get a little more detailed view of TenPenny's racketteering, you see Rosenburg's current relationship with Tommy Vercetti (or lack thereof), and how he got caught up in the Casino biz w/ the mafia. It's DEFINITELY worth the $19.99 price tag if you're a fan of this game, and the series overall.

P.S. Is this DVD what all that dual-layered DVD speak was about? I wonder; was this taken directly out of the game to produce another product? Hmmm. I know I sure would have liked to have seen this DVD BEFORE beating the game.

yeah i had this glitch too. i tried a few things to fix it such as copying my game to another memory card and things like that but it didn't work. But then i just decided to eat a lot of fattening food. my % of fat got almost halfway up and a message came up saying i was getting fat and needed to hit the gym. After that i was able to work out again.

CoA, where did you pick up the soundtrack?

Thank God a PC release date has been finally confirmed.....too bad I have to wait so long to play it :(

I purchased the soundtrack at a Gamestop for $19.99.

CoA, how does the soundtrack work...I mean, it's not like Vice City right? there was like 7 CDs, because of numerous radio stations...Is this a pack with a lot of CDs?
Does it have the songs from all radio stations? It doesn't seem expensive at all.
Anyway, this game is getting more and more fun...Once flight school was completed, I've been doing a lot flying back and forth between airports...
I tried to land a small personal jet on the golden gate, but there's annoying lamp posts
along the middle, which really sucks...
The game is beautiful...the flying alone makes it great, and worth the 50 bucks.
big ups to rockstar.

AFAIK, it's a 2 CD soundrack, plus a 20 min DVD with "The Introduction" to GTA:SA.

What Spartak said. Plus take note that it's not a complete soundtrack. It only contains what two CD's can hold.

What's the track listing on the soundtrack ?

I'm considering buying it with my christmas money (amongst other material possesions).

Hmmm looks allright I suppose.

I'm more of a Radio X/Radio Los Santos man.

bah, boo to big name artists.

GTA 3 had the best sound track to date. So many brilliant songs on there.

I beg to differ. I'm playing that game right now, and the only channel I can stand is K-Jah. Vice City was awesome with it's 80's music, and San Andreas...shooot...all I have to say is any game with CCR, Eazy E, Tupac, and Lynard Skynard in the soundtrack will definitely catch my attention.

Not to mention Axl Rose and Chuck D as DJs :D
