GTA: San Andreas Is A Masterpiece | A Retrospective

After covering New York City in the early 2000s and Miami in the 1980s, Rockstar decided to wrap up the perfect trilogy of games by taking their iconic franchise to the West Coast. Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas in the early 1990s, covering LA gang culture, Triads and drug trafficking in San Francisco and even the Italian mob's influence in Las Vegas. San Andreas is often seen as the best game in the GTA series, and for good reason. There were more features shoehorned into this title than both prior games combined and this game even has more features and ideas within it that haven't been seen in titles since this one. So, with all that being said... let's take a trip to the West Coast and explore the masterpiece that is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
