Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the most recent large game in the GTA series, developed by Rockstar North. It is the only game so far set in the fictional state of San Andreas, consisting of three cities: Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas, as well as vast exapanses of countryside, forests, desert and a mountain. The game is set in 1992, and concerns the return of protagonist Carl Johnson (known as CJ) to his gang (the Grove Street Families) and their return to power.

The game has received widespread acclaim for its technical achievements and free gameplay. However, in equal measure it received widespread criticism and controversy - initially over its gangster theme and storyine, which includs drugs, prostitutes and murder; but later over the discovery of disabled interactive sex scenes, nicknamed Hot Coffee. This led to the re-rating of the game from Mature to Adults-Only until a second version, with the sex scenes fully removed, was released.

Storyline

Five years ago Carl Johnson escaped from the pressures of life in Los Santos, San Andreas... a city tearing itself apart with gang trouble, drugs and corruption. Where filmstars and millionaires do their best to avoid the dealers and gangbangers.

Now, it's the early 90s. Carl's got to go home. His mother has been murdered, his family has fallen apart and his childhood friends are all heading towards disaster.

On his return to the neighborhood, a couple of corrupt cops frame him for homicide. CJ is forced on a journey that takes him across the entire state of San Andreas, to save his family and to take control of the streets.

Location

The state of San Andreas is based around three cities:

  • Los Santos is a gritty city, based on Los Angeles, mostly ghetto.
  • San Fierro is a bustling busy corporate city, based on San Francisco.
  • Las Venturas is an exciting city of opportunity, fun and sex, based on Las Vegas.

Around the cities, there are large areas of countryside
