Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas features so much fun and adventure that it’s impossible to remember everything about the game. Rockstar Games went above and beyond when they put GTA: San Andreas together. The game is much, much larger than the previous two pioneering games in the series, Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City. In fact, it’s almost four times the size of those installments. Packed within this space are three major cities, Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas, as well as towns, deserts, forests, mountains, and much more.
Like all games that carry the Grand Theft Auto name, San Andreas was controversial on its release for its violence, dark humor, and sexual content. Despite, and possibly because, of this, the video game was a huge hit with audiences. If you spent a significant amount of time playing as Carl Johnson while he sought to survive in a world of gang trouble, corrupt cops, and even nerds battling each other with weaponized toys, then take this quiz to see how much you remember.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
By choosing the West Coast in the early '90s as its setting, the development team of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas gave themselves a huge challenge. They had to reflect on real-life events of the time, such as gang wars, a city tearing itself apart over cop corruption, and other influences, in a careful way. While previous game settings such as Liberty City and Vice City are both also pastiches of American cities, San Andreas is so much more. It features a huge range of individuals, factions, locations, and events that mimic real life in a way that is often painfully realistic.
Many consider San Andreas to be the best game in the series. While that's subjective, the huge map and the gameplay advancements of San Andreas mean that when it was released, it was a significant advancement on previous titles in the series. See how well you remember it ahead!
