Let’s know about GTA San Andreas in detail.
GTA San Andreas –
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a 2004 action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It is the seventh title in the Grand Theft Auto series, and the follow-up to the 2002 game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The game, set within an open world environment that players can explore and interact with at their leisure, focuses on the story of former gangster Carl “CJ” Johnson, who is brought back home by the death of his mother, only to become involved in a long journey that sees him exploring the fictional U.S. state of San Andreas, which is heavily based on California and Nevada.
The game features references to many real-life elements of the world, such as its cities, regions, and landmarks, with its plot heavily based on several real-life events in Los Angeles in the early 1990s, including the rivalry between real-life street gangs, the 1980s-early 1990s crack epidemic, the LAPD Rampart scandal, and the 1992 Los Angeles riots. Unlike its predecessor, San Andreas brought with it new elements of gameplay that would be later incorporated in future titles, including RPG-style mechanics, customisation options with both clothing and vehicle appearances, a vast array of activities and mini-games, and the inclusion of gambling games.
Gameplay –
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is an action-adventure game with role-playing and stealth elements. Structured similarly to the previous two games in the series, the core gameplay consists of elements of third-person shooter and driving games, affording the player a large, open-world environment in which to move around. On foot, the player’s character is capable of walking, running, sprinting, swimming, climbing, and jumping as well as using weapons and various forms of hand-to-hand combat. The player can operate a variety of vehicles, including automobiles, buses, semis, boats, fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, trains, tanks, motorcycles, and bicycles. The player may also import vehicles in addition to stealing them.
The open, non-linear environment allows the player to explore and choose how they wish to play the game. Although storyline missions are necessary to progress through the game and unlock certain cities and content, the player can complete them at their leisure.

When not taking on a story line mission, the player can freely roam the cities and rural areas of San Andreas, eat in restaurants, or cause havoc by attacking people and causing destruction. Creating havoc can attract unwanted and potentially fatal attention from the authorities. The more chaos caused, the stronger the response: police will handle “minor” infractions (attacking pedestrians, pointing guns at people, stealing vehicles, manslaughter, etc.), whereas SWAT teams, the FBI, and the military respond to higher wanted levels.
The player can partake in a variety of optional side missions that can boost their character’s attributes or provide other sources of income. The traditional side missions of past Grand Theft Auto games are included, such as dropping off taxi cab passengers, putting out fires, driving injured people to the hospital, and fighting crime as a vigilante. New additions include burglary missions, pimping missions, truck and train driving missions requiring the player to make deliveries on time, and driving/flying/boating/biking schools, which help the player learn skills and techniques to use in their corresponding vehicles.
Role-playing game features in character development –
Rockstar has emphasised the personalisation of the main protagonist by adding role-playing video game elements. Clothing, accessories, haircuts, jewellery, and tattoos are available for purchase by the player, and have more of an effect on non-player characters’ reactions than the clothing in Vice City. CJ’s level of respect among his fellow recruits and street friends varies according to his appearance and actions, as do his relationships with his girlfriends. The player must ensure that CJ eats to stay healthy and exercises adequately. The balance of food and physical activity affects his appearance and physical attributes.
Vehicles –
In total, there are 212 different vehicles in the game compared to approximately 60 in Grand Theft Auto III. New additions include bicycles, a combine harvester, a street sweeper, a jetpack, and trailers, amongst others. Car physics and features are similar to the Midnight Club series of street racing games, allowing for much more mid-air vehicle control as well as nitrous upgrades and aesthetic modifications.
Plot –
In 1992, following his mother’s murder in a drive-by shooting, CJ returns home to Los Santos to attend her funeral. Upon arriving, he is intercepted by Los Santos Police Department officers of the C.R.A.S.H. unit, who threaten to frame him for the recent murder of another police officer (who was actually killed by them for threatening to expose their corruption), unless he co-operates with them. After leaving them, CJ reunites with Sweet, Kendl, Big Smoke, and Ryder at the funeral and agrees to stay and help the Grove Street Families in the war against the rival Ballas gang.
During this time, he also befriends Cesar Vialpando after discovering he genuinely cares for his sister, and helps OG Loc make a name for himself in the rap industry. Shortly after the Families regain their strength, Sweet makes plans to attack the Ballas in a large fight. Before he can join them, CJ is contacted by Cesar with information on the drive-by shooting, revealing that Big Smoke and Ryder have sold out the gang and worked with C.R.A.S.H. and the Ballas to arrange the attack, which was actually meant for Sweet.
Realizing Sweet is headed into a trap, CJ attempts to save him, but both end up being arrested by the LSPD. While his brother is incarcerated, C.R.A.S.H. arrange for CJ’s release and have him do jobs outside Los Santos that will prevent their corruption from going public, during which he meets and befriends The Truth. With the gang disbanded and the Ballas flooding Los Santos with drugs, CJ works to make money to support Kendl and Cesar, who also left Los Santos, by committing several robberies alongside Catalina and engaging in street racing, where he meets a Triad boss named Woozie.
Ultimately, he wins a garage in San Fierro from Claude, Catalina’s new boyfriend, so CJ goes there with Cesar, Kendl, and The Truth and they turn it into a working business, with help from the latter’s acquaintances, including Zero. To stop the Ballas’ cocaine shipments, supplied by the Loco Syndicate, CJ works to infiltrate the organisation, aided by Woozie and Cesar. After earning their trust, he swiftly brings the syndicate down, killing its underbosses and Ryder during a meeting.
Toreno eventually honours his promise and allows CJ to be reunited with Sweet. Although delighted to have him back, Sweet berates CJ for thinking about money and forces him to assist in rebuilding the Families. Tenpenny is eventually arrested for corruption, but is acquitted in his trial, provoking a riot across Los Santos. Upon helping Madd Dogg deal with OG Loc, and taking out the rival gangs, in the process helping Cesar reclaim his gang’s territory, CJ goes to confront Big Smoke over his betrayal.
After killing Smoke in his fortress, CJ pursues Tenpenny, rescuing Sweet when he tries to stop him from fleeing in a stolen fire truck. The brothers’ pursuit eventually causes Tenpenny to crash outside CJ’s family home, whereupon he dies from his injuries. With the riots eventually over and the Families back on top, CJ and his allies celebrate their success in his home. In the midst of the celebrations, CJ leaves to check things out around the neighbourhood.
A port of San Andreas for select iOS devices was released on 12 December 2013. It was followed closely by ports to Android devices on 19 December 2013, Windows Phone devices on 27 January 2014, and Fire OS devices on 15 May 2014.

Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions –
In 2008, the original Xbox version was released on Xbox 360 as an emulated port, and part of the Xbox Originals line-up. However, in late 2014 it was removed from the Xbox Live Marketplace and replaced with a port of the mobile version on 26 October 2014, the game’s tenth anniversary. It featured HD 720p resolution, enhanced draw distance, a new menu interface, and achievements. While it introduced many new features, around ten songs were removed from the HD version that were present in the original due to licensing issues, and numerous new bugs were introduced. A physical release followed on 30 June 2015 in North America and 17 July 2015 elsewhere, under the “Platinum Hits” banner (“Classics” in PAL regions).
San Andreas was first released on PlayStation 3 in December 2012 as an emulated PS2 Classic. This version was also removed in late 2014, leading to rumours of a PS3 HD release. However, this was not the case at the time, and the PS2 Classic later returned. In early November 2015, the game was re-rated by the ESRB for an upcoming PS3-native release.
The HD version was released on 1 December 2015, replacing the PS2 Classic on the PlayStation Store, and on physical media, gaining instant “Greatest Hits” status in North America. There has also been a PlayStation 4 version released, though unlike the port for the PlayStation 3, it is the PlayStation 2 game running via emulation, although it still has trophies and some songs edited out due to licensing restrictions.
