The GTA series has never disappointed its fans, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is still a special game. Despite the already outdated graphics (it was released in 2005), many fans still play it. After all, the main advantage of this series of games is a huge open world and complete freedom of action.

Gangs of San Andreas

The plot takes place in 1992 in the sunny state of California. The main character is a black guy named Carl Johnson or CJ. He will have to quarrel with other gangs, collect his own, take away territories from all other leaders of the criminal world and shift his influence to neighboring megacities.

Interesting is the change in the surrounding world in the course of the growth of the influence of the gang of the main character. Initially, representatives of the enemy gang can be found everywhere, but as their territories are recaptured, bandits from the neighboring clan are becoming fewer. There are four groups in the game, two black families from Grove Street (where the main character is located) and Ballas, as well as two Latin American ones – Los Santos Vagos and Varrio Los Aztecas. Gang members have their own preferences in cars and habits.

In total, the game features three cities that are united into the non-existent state of San Andreas.
