Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Rockstar North · 2004 · Action, Adventure, Sandbox

Spike VGA Game of the Year 2004

Three cities, a jetpack, and the most absurdly generous map of its era.

Rockstar at its PS2 peak: gang politics, dense cities and a to-do list that still looks indulgent. What you can buy today is the Definitive Edition remaster, which is not universally loved.
