Poll of the Day > After a few hours on the Xbox 360 port of San Andreas played on Xbox One

(+) Yeah! (+)

I picked it over the PS2 port on the PS4, mainly because of the driving controls (I do not want to drive with face buttons, and I am already familiar with the original Xbox version which used triggers to acceleration and brakes instead, and using the right analog stick while driving is better, as well as an increased draw-distance, which is a must for flying, but I also know that they had to keep the draw-distance limited to keep the illusion of a massive state, rather than a tiny square).

The game looks like ass, but mainly due to how old the original is (and was never a good looking game to begin with), even with the updated textures. Camera controls are too sensitive, so I had to turn it down. Some controls were changed (with the stats having you hold right on the D-Pad instead of holding down the left trigger).

Framerate is a rock solid 30 FPS (even though I would have preferred 60). I don't like that the map in the pause menu needs to decompress when looking at a new area.

I know that this is a mobile port, and missing a few songs (due to licensing issues), but so far, it seems pretty stable, especially with there being no loading times when you go inside of buildings, or when you save. I also like that it actually has a menu when you boot up the game instead of stupidly chucking you into the game itself (which I never liked about the console GTA games).

Not as bad a port as I was expecting so far, since I heard bad things about this one.

In the grand total of 2 weeks in game time, I did a total of TWO missions before doing the following:

Maxed out Lung Capacity

Maxed out Muscle

Maxed out Stamina

Learned new fighting move

Finished the dancing minigame

Uncovered the entirety of the first part of the map

Took 50 Taxi fares

Finished level 12 in Firefighter

Finished level 12 in Paramedic

Accumulated $96,008

Am I doin it rite?

You mean because of several missions being glitched on PS2 which made that one hard? Or do you mean the extra features like checkpoints?

some of the missions are definitely easier on the xbox port

You mean like Supply Lines which had the toy airplane constantly run out of fuel on the PS2, even when not accelerating (which was a glitch). I passed that easily on the Xbox 360 (using the original Xbox game and not the "remaster").

Is it a separate game I have to buy or can I just pop in my old 360 disc?
