Hi guys.
So I thought, if I enjoy gaming so much, I should be able to write a review on them right? This here is one of my all-time favorites and will be the way opener for my game review articles.
It is called Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas otherwise known as GTA or GTA:SA. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was released in 2004 and till this day, remains the best, or one of the best open-world action adventure game in the world.
The Game is set in the city of Los Santos, San Andreas where the first scene opens with the lead Character, Carl Johnson (CJ) arriving at the airport from Liberty City. Apparently, his mother was murdered and his family, friends and the entire hood has fallen apart.
Drugs and gangbangers alongside corrupt cops are the new order of the day.
On CJ's arrival in a taxi near his hood, he is pulled over by the dirtiest cop in the game; Officer Tenpenny and his colleague and fellow corrupt cop; Officer Pulasky. They illegally arrest and accuse him of killing a cop. Then they let him go on the grounds that he now answers to them or go to jail for murder. CJ is hereafter abandoned by the roadside. With no luggage and no money, he finds a bicycle in an alleyway and rides it home to Grove Street.
Throughout the beginning and middle part of the game, Carl is struggling to clean up his hood, make a name for himself by earning the respect of the Grove Street family. He works for drug lords, the Chinese syndicate gangs, sex traffickers, the police and a secret agent whose name is unknown. In the end, he puts an end to the lives of those who are responsible for his problems including his friends, Big Smoke and Ryder, who he thought were true to him.
GTA:SA was developed by Rockstar North under Rockstar Games. It has no online or multi-player features and no in-app purchases. The Action Adventure game can however, be saved to cloud as backup for completed missions. You'd need to create an account with Rockstar Games and login to your account to save a game to cloud.
The soundtrack is inspired with heavy emphasis on the early 80s and 90s Rap and Alternative Rock.
The game is light on PC as it is on Mobile because as low as a 2GB RAM smartphone can run GTA as long as there are no other gaming applications running in the background. Although, for the best gaming experience, it is best to use a smartphone with at least, 4GB RAM. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is available on all OS platforms and PC.

Grand Theft Auto: SA has been rated world wide as one of the most addictive games. This is because of the freedom the character has in the game. Freedom to partake in illegal activities like Bank robberies, illegal street racing, car jacking, dating and other nefarious activities.
Due to the games intensity and extreme violent content, strong language and sexual content, it is rated M by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB).
