Editor's Note:

Previous to the official announcement, San Andreas was also known known as "Grand Theft Auto IV". Commonly called "GTA: San Andreas".

Added on: September 05, 2003

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was first released in fall 2004 as the final PS2 entry in Rockstar's critically acclaimed action adventure series after the studio revived the franchise as an open world experience with immersive environments.

In San Andreas, players take the role of Carl "CJ" Johnson as he returns home following the murder of his mother. CJ and his friends begin rebuilding the Grove Street Families gang in order to keep drugs off the streets of their territory while uncovering the truth behind his mother's murder. Players can explore the entire state of San Andreas, including the cities of Las Venturas (based on Las Vegas), San Fierro (San Francisco) and Las Santos (Los Angeles) as well as the surrounding vast forests, countrysides and desert.

Drive, eat, shoot, recruit—these are some of the things players can do in the world of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Players perform missions given to them by their "homies" to earn respect and cash. Players eat to keep CJ's health up; keep his strength up and avoid getting fat at the gym; recruit gang members; avoid the police; get hair cuts, threads, and tattoos to look cool; gamble at the casino; etc.
