TA: San Andreas Hits Xbox
Get ready for the hip-hop-heavy action-adventure on your Xbox and PC come June 7, 2005.
By Douglass C. Perry

December 16, 2004 - 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.

Plan on returning to IGN for massive coverage of this already awesome PS2 game in the near future.

it'll be less than a year that we have to wait.  in the meantime, we'll have games like kotor 2, halo 2, unreal tournament 2, and jade empire to keep us busy.

thanks for the info, man.  i've been wondering when the release date would be for the longest.

naw, when vice city came out on PS2, the PC version came out in the beginning of summer, so i'm not disappointed. At least i won't be playin the game when i need to study for finals. June is the best time to play games

... I think that Sony has some kind of exclusive rights to the GTA franchise since part 3... not really exclusive but they have a certain clause so that no other system gets the title for another xx months...

whatever....  but people are only getting into the crystal XBox because thats the one where you can copy the games on the HDD or play the burned ones.. or I dunno. lol

... but fuck that with GTA for PC....  Í only own a Gamecube and GTA was never released on GC... but even if it was.. I wouldn´t buy it... PC version kicks way more ass... I even refuse to play the PS2 version at my friends place...  I don´t want to spoil the action.... so those news are not embraced 


... but I´ll just play part 3 and Vice City over and over again till San Andreas comes out for PC.... lol
