GTA: SA on X-Box. Well, what's new?

Raiden · 06-11-2005, 02:40 PM

I have Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on PS2, which is alright. But, it's not my PS2, which means I can't play GTA when ever I want.

However, I DO own an X-Box, which is mine. If I get GTA on X-Box, I could play it whenever I want.

But, that's not enough of an excuse for me to go out and spend $50 on a game that will only help for convenience. Will there be better graphics? New clothes and guns? New missions?

What?

Basically, is there really any difference between the PS2 and X-Box versions other than consoles?

at gamespot.com it says that the xbox graphics or something like that are worse, so im pretty sure ps2 is the best GTA system for san andreas unfortunately.

here are the gamespot reviews for GTA:SA,

Xbox review

ps2 review

ps2 GTA was rated 9.6

xbox GTA was rated 9.2

xbox GTA review highlights:
-sketchy(kinda bad) graphics
-weird plane controls because of xbox controller

but good luck reading the 5 pages..

Yeah i heard the same thing, except it was on X-play (a show).
I personnally think that the GTA series bast belongs on the Playstation and no where else.

I think GTA is best on PC. The first GTA was on PC then on PS, likewise with GTA2. Then GTA3 came out on PS2 first, then PC. Vice City was on PC after PS2 also... Now everybody thinks its a PS2 game. Well, it's always been a PC game to me. Ive owned all of them except San Andreas on PC. Ive also modded every one of them. I say, THEY BELONG ON PC!

EDIT: They also looked a whole lot better on PC.

Well, since he's the only reason the X-Box even still exists, they're probably going to shove Master Cheif in somehow.

Seriously though, the only difference I could detect between my friend's copy of Vice City for X-Box and my PS2 copy is that the cars had different hubcaps (actually I didn't notice this, Garth just wouldn't shut up about how the new rims made it superior).

Custom Soundtracks on the Xbox version. Also, loading times are supposed to be shorter...
