Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas reached PlayStation 2 owners in North America on October 26, 2004. It is twenty-two today, and it is still the game many people think of first when someone says "the best GTA".

Bigger in every direction

Instead of one city, San Andreas has three, Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas, with deserts, forests, farms and a mountain in between. CJ can swim, climb, ride a BMX, lift weights and learn three fighting styles. The checklist that comes with all that is the longest in the series.
