Rockstar and its Grand Theft Auto saga have been delighting enthusiasts of action games ever since the publication of the first GTA for PlayStation and PC back in 1997. Since then, multiple versions have taken place on different scenarios and with increasingly better graphics, but all of them have a series of common features that distinguish them from other video games: plenty of action and violence, stunning vehicles to flee from the police, organized crime, missions to fulfil to keep the mafia happy and an open-word to be explored freely. And following suit, we've got the chance to download GTA San Andreas - Grand Theft Auto for PC, belonging to the third generation of the saga and published in between the titles of GTA Vice City and GTA Liberty City.
The action takes place in the fictional state of San Andreas, inspired by California and Nevada, and the three major cities that are part of it: Los Santos (Los Angeles), San Fierro (San Francisco) and Las Venturas (Las Vegas). That's where Carl Johnson, aka CJ, has gone after five years of absence, due to the death of his mother and his thirst for revenge. But after attending the funeral, he's framed with a murder he didn't commit and is obliged to explore the state to protect his family and become the leader of a criminal organization, completing all sorts of missions.
