GnR & Axl in GTA San Andreas

[Booker Floyd]

Coolest Axl news in a long time...

[Court Jester]

Damn! Now i have to buy a Playstation. This is just too cool to be true.

[Axl_owns_dexter]

Damn! Now i have to buy a Playstation. This is just too cool to be true.

Only a GnR fan.   


I am loving that heart song right now.

Wasn't Gilby in Heart?

[Jizzo]

For like 5 months in 2003

[norway]

Has anyone played through that game yet? If it's more axl\guns stuff 

[Gunner80]

Well at least there's one good thing about this rotten game. 

[anarchy]

This is officially 100% true.  I got my issue of OPM today and they have the first official review of the game.  As one of the sidebars to the review featured at the bottom of one of the pages it says in big red letters:

"AXL ROSE
Our favorite piece of San Andreas trivia is Axl's presence in the game.  He is the voice of K-DST DJ Tommy "The Nightmare" Smith and plays classic rock while bitching about his days as a rock star and lamenting the state of modern rock bands."

Bitchin.

how is the game rotten

"If you're expecting Vice City, only set in the 90's and with some RPG bits, you are wrong. If you believe they can't possibly push it as much as they have before, that it can't really be that good, you are wrong. San Andreas is shocking, not necessarily because of its typically contentious subject matter...but because of the sheer scale of the experience."



"All that remains is to tackle the question we posed at the beginning of this review: Is it really the best game ever made? Quite possibly, yes. Some of you may not like it. Some of you might be quite cynical about the hype surrounding the game. I'm sure some of you will think that I'm being sensational and overstatin its quality, simply because we have the exclusive and we're obliged to do so. This is not the case. Before I played it, I was thinking that perhaps this story would be more interesting if we were able to say, "Grand Theft Auto loses its cool, San Andreas is actually crap," but the truth is it's spectacular -- it sets the bar so high that it leaves a lot of games in the dust."



BASE JUMPING
Learn to parachute at the flight school (it's like playing Pilotwings) and then grab a parachute pack and have some fun. Take a plane up over a city, land on top of a skyscraper, leap off the edge of it, and parachute down to the street.

IMPORT/EXPORT
Remember the car-smuggling business in Grand Theft Auto 2 on PS1? No? Go back and pick up a copy from the used bin in EB Games -- you'll probably find it for $5. You can relive the smuggling experience by purchasing a car dealership in San Fierro.

NOOKIE
Hooking up with the ladies is an important part of the game, and your sexiness will dictate how successful you are. The dates themselves are often very amusing, with romantically lit scenes of you wooing the ladies while cheesy music plays.

TRIATHLON
The game has running, swimming, and biking gameplay mechanics, so what better way to take advantage of them than to include a full-on triathlon for you to enter? You'll need to hit the gym and crank up those stamina stats if you want to win.


Not a ton of detail on the minigames...Among the ones they mention are dancing, gambling in the casinos, driving trains, robberies. Nothing that hasn't been mentioned before. But it also appears that there's so much in the game that they couldn't possibly cover it all, and the reviewer does say that "I've shot a basketball and scored from 114 feet," so not sure what else there is.


As far as multi-player, it talks about two-player rampage missions. There are on-foot rampage missions and vehicle rampages, where one player drives and the other shoots.

Well at least there's one good thing about this rotten game.?

 

Have you played the game?

[Mattman]

Coolest Axl news in a long time...

That's because it's the ONLY Axl news in a long time.

[axlholic09]

sooo true

[Music For Life]

nice to know axl cares so much about his fans that he has time to do a video game and not finish the album you all so eargerly await.  why you wait i have no idea, why you still like him i have no idea

[axlholic09]

 man thats not cool i like axl cuz.......hmmmm god damn it  uhh ill get back to you

[Gunner80]

Well at least there's one good thing about this rotten game. 

 

Have you played the game?

No, but I don't like that fact that they're turning such a great game into The Sims. I have no desire to play a game where you have to feed the main character and keep him exercised.

[estranged.1098]

Being pretty crap with computers could someone please explain to me why when i press play nothing happens and yes i did read what someone said about let the thing fill up pressing stop then play again and that did not work either.? I have a 56k modem is it my shit connection maybe? Or could i be doing something wrong

After you click the button "4" wait for the progress bar to fill up. The button itself is the progress bar.

[grog mug]

He's not making the album for the fans.  He's making it for himself, that's why he doesn't fill anyone in on what his progress is on Chinese Democracy.

If and when Rockstar ever approaches you and asks you to be featured in a video game that is destined to sell over 13 million copies aren't you gonna drop whatever the hell you're doin' and go running?  I would and obviously Axl did too.  It was a chance to go have some fun and get his foot in the door on the hefty return investment the game will bring in as well.

Axl actually being in the game is so damn awesome.  That's the greatest news I've heard in a while and only adds to the anticipation of getting my grubby hands on this game.

How much work do you think the GTA thing took?

[elevendayempire]

Given the way GN'Rs management treated Ron Thal, I'm surprised they haven't demanded that the game be pulled from the shelves for daring to mention Axl's involvement...
