Customer Reviews

Patchy and expensive
It's good, not great. The only one's i ever listen to are K-DST and Radio X. It's patchy, all that soul nonsense, Boyz to Men, i'd sooner tear my ears off than listen to it, but then I knew that when I bought it. I do feel a bit short changed though, as there's lots of tracks that are in the game but missing from this set. The two Rap stations are combined onto 1 cd, while all the other stations have their own cd. The snoop & Dre songs from the game are missing, as is the Ozzy Osbourne song on Radio X, and the House Music station, SF-UR, is nowhere to be found. Although personally I wouldn't listen to any of these, it's a bit crap to spend €65 (in ireland) and get half a soundtrack. I don't know whether these songs absence is a royalties thing or just laziness. The inclusion of the Advertisments from the game is a nice touch, some of them are hilarious, but there's no DJs, which I miss, coz some of the stuff they said was so funny, especially Sage from radio X and the woman from K-Rose.Also the packaging was cheap.Although the artwork was good, the CD cases had 'DVD' embossed on them.Someone found a cheap deal,eh? Overall, I'd say get it if you have the money and want a good souveneir, but be aware it's not complete.

Do not buy this
I found this album very disappointing. The game itself has an excellent soundtrack, however many of the songs from the game are not included on these CD's, especially songs from the two rap stations "Radio Los Santos" and "Playback FM", which have been reduced to fit onto one CD. Otherwise there is one CD for each radio station, however the play list will not include all of the songs from the radio station on the game. Due to this I would advise any interested customers to check the track list to see if their favourite songs from the game have been included on the CD.
I feel this soundtrack is overpriced because in reality you are buying an incomplete product.

Missing Parts
The music stations of the game are inclusive but the chat stations aren't! Those are also an important part of the game and especially the soundtrack! I think that's for me and I think many other fans too very important: for example in Vice City, Maurice Chavez with Pressing Issues, could you go without that? I wouldn't.
