Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is an open-world action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North for PlayStation 3. Players assume the role of Carl Johnson, who returns to Los Santos after his mother's death. To reclaim his life and family, he embarks on a journey filled with crime, betrayal, and complex relationships across the vast landscape of San Andreas.
Returning after his mother's murder to the semi-fictional city of Los Santos (based on Los Angeles), Carl Johnson, a former gang banger, must take back the streets for his family and friends by gaining respect and once again gaining control over the streets. However, a story filled with crime, lies and corruption will lead him to trudge the entire state of San Andreas (based on California and Nevada) to rebuild his life.
