GTA San Andreas is set in the fictional state of San Andreas which closely resembles 1990s California and Nevada during the height of organized crime. The game follows protagonist Carl 'CJ' Johnson (whose real name remains unknown until near the end) as he returns to his home city after a five-year absence, only to find that it has been taken over by various gangs.

GTA San Andreas was developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games for PlayStation 2. The game received generally positive reviews upon release due in part because of its improved graphics compared to previous titles as well as new features such as the ability to dive into bodies, a more open world environment that allows players greater freedom than ever before when exploring Los Santos (the main city), and an engaging storyline with interesting characters.

The gameplay itself involves driving various vehicles around San Andreas completing missions while avoiding law enforcement. These can range from simple tasks like picking up packages or escorting people across town all the way up to full-blown shootouts against rival gangs trying to take control of territory within Los Angeles County area where CJ lives now after moving back home again...
