The story

Carl Johnson returns to Los Santos in 1992 after his mother is killed and finds his family and gang falling apart. The story grows from one neighborhood to three cities and the country between them.

How it plays

San Andreas added swimming, climbing, gang territory and a character who changes with how you play: eat, train and practise, and CJ gets better at it. It was later remastered in The Definitive Edition.
