Hi guys!

Anyone played the new GTA yet?

If you have why not tell us about it...from a players perspective. I wanna know if it's as cool as everyone else says.

I would think this is the only time I have been tempted to actually buy a console.

It looks like a great way to waste time

...found this at megagames.com. It makes worrying reading:

Description
Take-Two Interactive's third quarter, 2004 financial results, produced some good news for PC gamers as they confirmed that GTA : San Andreas will come to PC, even if it takes it about a year to do so.

Most gamers knew that a PC version of the new Grand Theft Auto title would eventually appear but the developers and publishers had not commented on such a possibility. This refusal to confirm PC versions of games is common practice since deals with the console manufacturers restrict any such comments in order to maximize console-specific sales of the title, it is very likely that such a deal with Sony may also be the reason for the one year delay. An XBox version is also considered to be a certainty but Take2 Games would not risk bringing that up at all for the time being.

The reason we have found out about the PC version is simply that hard times have forced Take2 to include the estimated release date of this very highly anticipated GTA title in order to convince shareholders that the future looks promising. The actual phrase from the Take2 results release is as follows Additional products planned for fiscal 2005 from Rockstar Games include Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for PC in the third quarter,...

My work colleague brought in his copy of GTA San Andreas and I have to admit it is as good as everyone is making it out to be.
There are a few issues :
Because it is on PS2 the graphics aren't overly good
There are a few frame rate issues while driving through certain areas.

But then again they have managed to fit this huge map and huge amount of detail into a PS2.
The best part has to be riding around on your BMX.
You can also jump onto peoples cars and start stamping the roof.
All in all I think it is great, definately worth looking at, there is so much that can be done in it. (hours of endless fun)
