The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A sprawling, sun-baked criminal odyssey where you hustle from back-alley gang wars to cross-state road trips with a loose, irreverent energy that makes the chaos feel like your own story.

About
Returning after his mother's murder to the semi-fictional city of Los Santos (based on Los Angeles), Carl Johnson, a former gang banger, must take back the streets for his family and friends by gaining respect and once again gaining control over the streets. However, a story filled with crime, lies and corruption will lead him to trudge the entire state of San Andreas (based on California and Nevada) to rebuild his life.
What players say
Remembered as a massive, genre-defining open-world game whose huge map and sheer freedom astonished players on PS2 hardware. Fans love its gang-culture story and RPG-style character progression, though some find the side content repetitive and the ending polarizing.
