Many new features have been included in the game. New vehicles include bicycles (which feature a new control scheme), trucks with detachable [[wikipedia:trailer (vehicle)|trailer]]s, [[HPV1000|police motorcycle]]s, operable [[Tow Truck|tow truck]]s, [[combine Harvester|combine harvester]]s, [[Quad-Bike|quad bike]]s, aircrafts, military jet fighters and trains. | Many new features have been included in the game.

New to the players character is the ability to swim and climb up and over short walls and fences. For greater firepower, players can also wield dual firearms or perform a drive-by shooting with several gang members.

For greater firepower, players can also wield dual firearms or perform a drive-by shooting with several gang members. The camera, fighting, and targeting controls were reworked with concepts from another Rockstar game, ''[[Manhunt]]'', including improved target cross-hairs that change colors from green to red to black, depending on the target's health. | ||
Rockstar has emphasized the [[wikipedia:Personality|personalization]] of the main character. Clothing and accessories (which players can buy at some of the game's many clothing stores), haircuts and tattoos are now available for purchase by CJ, and have more effect on [[wikipedia:Non-player character|NPCs]]' reactions than the clothing in ''Vice City''. Players must also ensure CJ eats to stay healthy, obtaining food from fast food [[:Category:Restaurants|restaurants]] such as Cluckin' Bell, street [[Stores|vendors, diners, bars, and nightclubs]]. The balance of food and exercise has an effect on his muscularity and appearance. If CJ eats too much in a short period, he will get sick and throw up; if he overeats periodically, he'll get fat and move more slowly while on foot; if he fails to eat, he will become less muscular and, eventually, will lose health. ''San Andreas'' also features skills, in areas such as driving, firearms handling, stamina, and lung capacity, which improve through use in the game. CJ may also learn three different styles of [[wikipedia:Martial art|unarmed combat]] at the [[:Category:Gyms|gym]]s in each of the game's three cities. | Rockstar has emphasized the [[wikipedia:Personality|personalization]] of the main character.

A two-player cooperative mode has also been added for the [[PlayStation 2]] and [[Xbox]]. Two-player icons are found in several key locations in the ''San Andreas'' world. Setting foot on one of these icons and pressing any button on a second controller starts up a series of special objectives similar to a "Rampage" in previous ''Grand Theft Auto'' games. Two human players will be able to go in a car or on foot. Both the players are required to remain on the same screen and within a reasonable proximity of one another. | A two-player cooperative mode has also been added for the [[PlayStation 2]] and [[Xbox]].
