 They should have modeled it after the Vice City guide... Dec 15, 2004
By Steve Wainstead
In addition to the things others have pointed out -- the inaccuracies in the maps and screenshots -- I find the guide hard to use. For example, the map for all the hidden horseshoes in Las Venturas is about 100 pages away from the screenshots of all the locations. The Vice City guide was a great guide, very high on usability. You'll spend a lot of time flipping back and forth with this one. The typeface is really tiny, and the mission descriptions tend to be very simplistic (at least the VC guide gave you some actual strategy tips; much less so, I think, with this guide).
It's big and slick and pretty to leaf through... but that can't justify its cost. You will find less than 50% of what the game has to offer without it, so you're stuck with buying it. Brady should publish a second edition with corrections, or at least publish online corrected versions of the maps and an errata page.

One Of The Worst Guides Ever Written Jun 28, 2005
By Matt Benecke
This strategy guide was so bad that I actually wrote a letter of complaint to BradyGames. I am a huge fan of their guides and purchase them for nearly every game that I own that has a BradyGames guide. The San Andreas guide, however, is an embarrassment to what is usually a very thorough and respectable company.
For someone who is simply playing the game and needs maps to get around then this guide should be perfect. If, however, you are a fanatic who is seeking to get 100% in the game then there are some major concerns that you should know about.
1) The number of Horseshoes that you need to collect is 50, not 100 as it is stated in the book.
2) Something like 4 or 5 of the photos for the Horseshoes are incorrect. I think they are taken from a Beta version of the game.
3) Nearly ALL of the Photo Op pictures are associated with the wrong locations.
4) There are at least a dozen weapons locations that are incorrect and three locations list weapons that do not exist in the game.
In terms of strategy and graphical content the guide is great, but outside of that I don't feel it is really worth the purchase. You can find many other guides that are more detailed (and correct!) for free if you look online.

 Some inaccuracies, especially where it counts Nov 03, 2004
By Erik R. Impson
Odds are you are buying this guide to complete the game to its fullest. While it will certainly get you closer to completion a lot faster than just running around aimlessly, you should know that there are a lot of errors in it.
It will get you through the missions okay, but the maps leading you to collectible items are horrible. One map has the items marked half an inch to the left of where they actually are. On another the numbers do not match up to the corresponding screenshots AT ALL, and it's the one where you need the screenshots the most. There are numerous other incorrect pictures and descriptions. And the screenshots are tiny! They wasted a ton of space printing artwork from the game, but skimped on the useful stuff.
Also, in several places you can see that they had a slightly different version of the game to work from. Detail on the maps is terrible and does not always match what's on your screen.
If you are looking for a guide I would still recommend it simply because there is nothing else out there. Just don't expect this to get you to 100% completion.

Helpful but not essential; there's better info online Nov 28, 2004
By Clare Quilty
With a game that's the size and scale of "San Andreas," you need every bit of help you can get. And this guide offers bits of help -- maps, captures, hidden features and, most importantly, an overview of the story and each mission so you'll know what to expect.
Most of the time the guide is great at telling you what you'll be doing... but doesn't offer much advice on how to do it. And, sure, part of playing this game is figuring stuff out for yourself. At the same time, this is a GUIDE and too often when I was repeatedly struggling with a mission, I'd flip to it in the book and get no help at all.
There's a wealth of better material online for 100% less than the guide's considerable cover price (my favorite is: www.bellaonline.com/gaming/w/sanandreas/). However, my computer is two floors above where I game, so... I keep my hard-copy guide by the TV and every so often it helps out.

 what a load of crap Jan 05, 2005
By Brad Silverman
"bsilverm"
For you people who actually found this guide helpful, did you even read it? I can get more accurate information listening to the White House talk about weapons of mass destruction. The photo ops map is so completely wrong it's ridiculous. As for the horseshoes, most of them are nowhere near where the book says. One of them, for example, is said to be on top of a building at the San Fierro Airport. Well, I found the horseshoe, and guess what? Not only is it not on top of a building, but it's in the middle of the freaking runway and there is no building anywhere near it!!! When you find a horseshoe, look at the picture in the book and then look at your screen. $1000 says they are nothing alike. And with the Los Santos Tags, how helpful is it to say "located on a building near the road"? In case the authors didn't know, there are about 5000 such buildings in the game. Not only that, one of the tags is not even located on the map! Okay, sure, it tells you what happens during a mission, but gives absolutely no advice on how to pass them, it's just a synopsis. I thought that the guides for both GTA III and Vice City were extremely helpful, they were great, but the guide for San Andreas is a disgrace to the publishing industry. Bradygames may consider, just consider, actually proofreading the material the put on the shelves for us to buy (and not cheap either). In my opinion, the authors should be ashamed to have their names on the cover. Yes, it will help you get closer to that ever elusive 100% (which is why everyone buys it of course), but it will not get you all the way. Take my advice, save your money. Consider using it instead as payment towards a lawyer to sue Bradygames for being such f*cking idiots.
