Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Two years after the success of Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas brought players to Los Santos. It’s a fictional city heavily based on real-world Nevada and California. The name resembled Los Angeles, and the storyline vaguely mirrors street gang rivalries in the 90s. With similar gameplay elements as the previous GTA titles, you’re once again thrust into the world of drama, intrigue, and crime.
GTA: San Andreas is still seen to this day as one of the most successful games in the series, introducing the ability to control planes and fly to your next mission. There’s more of a RPG focus, as you can train the protagonist at the gym to beef him up and fine-tune specific skills. Clothing and vehicles have customization options, which are both features that players thoroughly enjoyed.
Speaking of our hero, Carl "CJ" Johnson decides to return home to Los Santos when his mother dies. Quickly drawn back into the life of crime, he discovers that several gangs have taken over the town. He decides to take back the hood, one suburb at a time.
While there is a central plot, players take their time clearing each area and claiming it for CJ’s gang. Eventually, you’ll own the entire map, which is what bring’s the ultimate satisfaction.
