Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is an open
world action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rock star. It was released on 26
October 2004 for the Play Station 2 and on 7 June 2005 for Microsoft Windows and Xbox.
A high definition remaster received a physical release on both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 on 30 June 2015 and 1 December 2015,
respectively. It is the seventh title in the Grand
Theft Auto series,
and the first main entry since 2002's Grand
Theft Auto: Vice City. It was released on the same day as the handheld game Grand Theft Auto Advance.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is played from a third-person perspective in an open world environment, allowing
the player to interact with the game world at their leisure. The game is set
within the fictional U.S. state of San
Andreas, which is heavily based on California and Nevada. The state of San Andreas consists of
three metropolitan cities: Los
Santos, based on Los Angeles; San Fierro, based on San Francisco; and Las Venturas, based
on Las Vegas. The single-player story follows Carl "CJ" Johnson, who
returns home to Los Santos from Liberty
City after his mother's murder.
Carl finds his old friends and family in disarray, and over the course of the
game he attempts to re-establish his old gang, clashes with corrupt cops, and
gradually unravels the truth behind his mother's murder. The plot is based on
multiple real-life events in Los Angeles, including the rivalry between the Bloods, Crips, and Hispanic street gangs, the 1980s crack epidemic, the LAPD Rampart scandal, and the 1992 Los Angeles riots.
Considered one of the sixth
generation of video gaming's most
significant titles, and by many reviewers to be one of the greatest video games ever made, San Andreas received rave reviews by many critics
who praised the music, story and gameplay. It became the best-selling video
game of 2004, and has sold over 27.5 million copies worldwide as of 2011, it remains the best-selling
PlayStation 2 game of all time. The game, like its predecessors, is cited as a
landmark in video games for its far-reaching influence within the industry.
However, the violence and sexual content of San
Andreas has been the source
of much public concern and controversy. In particular, a player-made software
patch, dubbed the "Hot Coffee mod", unlocked a previously hidden
sexual scene. The next main entry in the series, Grand Theft Auto IV, was
released on 29 April 2008, also to critical acclaim. San Andreas has been ported to various other
platforms and services, such as OS
X, Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and mobile devices (iOS, Android, Windows Phone and Fire
OS).
