Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a 2004 action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It is the fifth main game in the Grand Theft Auto series, following 2002’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and the seventh entry overall.

Five years ago, Carl Johnson escaped the pressures of life in Los Santos, San Andreas—a city struggling with gangs, drugs, and corruption. A place where movie stars and millionaires do their best to avoid dealers and gangsters.

Now, it’s the early ’90s. Carl has to go back home. His mother has been murdered, his family has fallen apart, and his childhood friends are heading towards destruction.

As soon as he returns to his neighborhood, some corrupt cops frame him for murder. Now, CJ is forced on a journey to save his family and take control of the streets, leading him across the entire state of San Andreas.

You take on the role of Carl Johnson, or CJ. He returns to his former Los Santos neighborhood after a five-year absence. However, he now has to put in a lot of effort to rebuild his gang’s influence and image because things have changed. In addition, he is dealing with the terrible murder of his mother.

Only an hour into the game, CJ runs into dishonest police officers who wish to reintroduce him to the world he attempted to escape. With a variety of missions to keep you interested, mini-games, and dramatic cutscenes, the gameplay is typical Grand Theft Auto. You have the option to independently explore the expansive open environment of San Andreas in addition to participating in organized events.You take on the role of Carl Johnson, or CJ.
