Full review

Since Grand Theft Auto 3 the songs on the Grand Theft Auto songs have nearly been as big of a hit as the games. When San Andreas was released I loved the music and I had to buy this. It contains a lot of the songs from the game, however not all of them (the ones that are not included are at the bottom).

There are 8 different disks of music, which is quite annoying because you have to keep changing disk, but this is made up buy the variety of songs (even if your not a GTA fan you might be interested in these disks). Each disk represents a different radio station, so all the songs on one disk are from one radio station.

Also if you miss the music from San Andreas whilst playing the PSP version you can now add this music, using the CD's, to the PSP GTA using software released on the Rockstar Website.

In addition to the music you are also getting some of the advertisements that are on the radio stations, however unfortunately you don't have the DJ, which is a bit of a let down.

You may feel that the RRP of £45.99 is a bit high however I've seen it for much less brand new, the lowest I've seen it is £20.46 which is well worth the money.
