Grand Theft Auto San Andreas: The Definitive Edition

The hero of GTA San Andreas: The Definitive Edition, Carl “CJ” Johnson, arrives in Los Santos from Liberty City (this city, by the way, appears more often than others in the GTA series), where he went in search of a better life, but in reality He dealt only with thefts and burglaries. Now he gets a call from his brother, Sean “Sweet.” He reports that their mother has died. Immediately upon his arrival in the city, Karl makes a “pleasant acquaintance” with two corrupt police officers who have long had a grudge against him and his brother, and after his mother’s funeral it turns out that the situation in Los Santos has not become any better, and in the Grove Street Families gang ", the unspoken leader of which is Sweet, complete discord reigns. Now all this needs to be fixed.

It would seem that the plot of GTA San Andreas should be quite gloomy, because the life of criminal elements cannot be fun, but there is also enough humor in the game. At times, the amount of irony is even too high — in addition to jokes about gangsters, the American way of life, politicians and corrupt police officers, the developers do not deny themselves the pleasure of laughing at priests, or even ridiculing the games of their competitors.

The game features about a hundred main story missions and many secondary ones, such as the opportunity to work as a fireman, policeman, ambulance driver, taxi driver, thief, pimp, train driver. There are also many smaller tasks, such as collecting oysters hidden under water in different parts of the state, photographing certain places and buildings, and painting over graffiti. These "collection" tasks always come with small rewards. If you slowly complete all the tasks, playing GTA San Andreas: The Definitive Edition can take, perhaps, more than one month.

But even after completing a large number of missions prepared by the authors, there will be something to do in the game (which, in general, is traditional for a series of games). Among other things, Karl can date girls: by developing relationships with them, you can get small surprises, for example, one of the girls, who works as a nurse, will make it possible to ensure that Karl’s weapons are not taken away when he gets to the hospital. The game also has a number of mini-games, including billiards, discos, and casinos.

CJ can drive about two hundred types of vehicles, including cars, vans, trucks, motorcycles, boats, helicopters and airplanes. Every vehicle seen in San Andreas has a real-life prototype, although the actual names are not used in the game.
