    I was pretty excited to see San Andreas in the list of downloadable games in the windows shop. I was wondering if anyone else has it and whether or not there is a big difference in play between the windows and console version?

    I do have the windows version of the game but I did not buy it in the store I downloaded from some person who posted a vid on Youtube. I can say that the detail for the game looks better on the PC then the consoles.

    Oh yea way better texture than a console. Most games for the PC are going to look better if you have a great system for gaming. I like playing on console better tho anyday.

    I have San Andreas on PC but I have not been playing since I beat the single player campaign. I did not play San Andreas online I just did not care for that.

    The PC port is quite good. It ran really well on my computer with a frame rate much higher than what I would've seen on a playstation. Plus the multiplayer is really fun to play around with every now and then.

    The graphics are indeed much better. I had it first for playstation 2 and only later for PC and the difference is huge, specially in a better computer on maximum settings.

    The PC was better as its solely more detailed. The mods available are quite decent to say the least. I remember someone showing a Gundam mod for San Andreas on this site.

    Haha, that was me.

    I too have it on pc because of the massive amount of mods available for the game from giant anime mech's to entire courses and some mods even turn it into a completely different game..

    The PC port has better graphics/framerate and the multiplayer is heaps fun, but I found it to be terminally glitchy and unresponsibe when it came to gunplay. It's definitely missing the auto-aim of the consoles.

    Yeah you can change it into something new and completely different, either more realistic, or the other way around. It's possible to do almost everything with the game, specially on the online version.

    Multiplayer is a ton of fun and the graphics look more amazing than console version. I didn't buy it though, my parents didn't let me buy it when it was released so I pirated it. I'm still shamed til this day.

    Well, I only play online now a days and I have no problems. You should use big server forums to search for mods though, as the ones posted there are made for SA-MP and so everything works properly.

    I ripped a copy of San Andreas for Windows awhile ago and played a bit of it. I prefer the console controls, but the game runs smoothly on PC and looks better than the console counterparts. Either way, San Andreas is an incredible game worth playing even today.

    I honestly was surprised with the quality difference when I first played it on computer, but I thought my PS2 was damaged back then. Now I realize it's not the PS2 fault but the game itself is better on computer.

    I played GTA San Andreas on a console and I played it on my computer with the Windows OS, the later copy I own personaly. I would say that the game on the PC looks better and has more details than the console counterpart. While I own the copy of San Andreas, I didn't buy it in any online store or downloaded it, I got it in a local shop that is selling computer games and I got a physical copy of the game which is nice to have.

    Nice, I actually bought it online on steam. It was cheaper and a lot easier.

    The quality of the pc vs ps2 was significantly different. I never had the game for ps2 but I downloaded the pc version and it made my day. I just did not want to play the game on the console.
