Five years ago Carl Johnson escaped from the pressures of life in his hometown, Los Santos, San Andreas. Now, it's the early 90s, and he's got to get back home. His [[Beverly Johnson|mother]] has been murdered, his family has fallen apart and his childhood friends are all heading towards disaster. On his return to the [[Grove Street|neighborhood]], a couple of cops frame him for the homicide of a [[Ralph Pendelbury|police officer]]. CJ is forced on a journey that takes him across the entire state of San Andreas, to save his family and take control of the streets. | Five years ago Carl Johnson escaped from the pressures of life in his hometown, Los Santos, San Andreas.

San Andreas is structured similarly to the previous two games in the series. The core gameplay consists of elements of a third-person shooter and a driving game, affording the player a large, open environment in which to move around. On foot, the player's character is capable of walking, running, swimming (the first GTA game in which diving is possible), limited climbing and jumping, as well as using weapons and various forms of hand to hand combat. Players can operate a variety of vehicles, including automobiles, boats, airplanes, helicopters, trains, tanks, motorcycles and bicycles. Players may also import vehicles rather than steal them. CJ is Grand Theft Auto's most customizable protagonist due to the possibility in-game to change his clothes, tattoos and hairstyle. | San Andreas is structured similarly to the previous two games in the series.

== Controversy == | |||
The game has received widespread acclaim for its technical achievements and free gameplay. However, it also received widespread criticism - initially due to its "gangster" elements, which include drugs, prostitution, and murder; but later due to the discovery of disabled interactive sex scenes, nicknamed [[Hot Coffee]], which could be re-enabled using third-party mods. This led to the re-rating by the [[ESRB]] of the game from Mature to Adults-Only until a second version, with the sex scenes fully removed, was released. | |||
''San Andreas'' was also the first GTA game to feature the use of "[[fuck]]", which also caused a stir. | |||
