About the game
After the release of the revolutionary GTA 3 and the no less triumphant GTA: Vice City, the gaming community was expecting a new part with the “four”, but they were well aware that the developers were finishing the last part of the trilogy. Therefore, there was no frankness in terms of technical characteristics: slightly adjusted graphics, the same engine. In any case, the game did not fail, and many fans of the series to this day recognize it as one of the best among “car thefts”.The game's animation and physics have been improved. Perhaps realistic gestures, facial expressions and behavior of characters and vehicles were still a long way off, but a noticeable step towards progress had been made. If the physics of cars sometimes failed, then the physics of airplanes, bicycles and swimming craft were performed noticeably better. The advent of bicycles and jumping on them gave inspiration to many stuntmen who learned the trampolines and various similar places in Vice City almost by heart.
In addition to the huge number of vehicles, players were also pleased with the large number of weapons in the game - you won’t find anything in GTA: San Andreas. Here you have rocket launchers with bazookas, and thermal goggles, and night vision goggles, and a can of paint, and a fire extinguisher, and gas bombs, and a pistol with a silencer, and so on and so forth. Unfortunately, the blood splatters on the screen, similar to those left on the other side of the monitor/TV after using a chainsaw, have disappeared. Apparently, this was a step towards “softening” the age rating, although later the game would still receive its “18+” on the cover, but for other reasons.

The GTA series of games has always been popular. RockStar has always made games with integrity, and therefore, sometimes they had to delay releases in order to fix all the bugs and inaccuracies that could be encountered when playing through the game. GTA San Andreas, like many previous versions of GTA, has become a very popular computer game. Gamers from all countries loved and love it, because the plot of the game is almost indistinguishable from real life and it is very exciting. And so Rockstar fans couldn't get enough of the PC game; they wanted something more. Then Rockstar decided to make GTA for the Android operating system. This caused a ton of both positive and negative feedback from fans. And all because of the system requirements of the game. Those who had a good game played with pleasure, and those who didn’t, constantly cursed and wrote negative comments on various gaming forums.
So what is it about the system requirements of the game that many people don’t even like it? Actually nothing like this:
1) Android version: 3.0 and higher.
2) RAM (RAM): recommended - 1 gigabyte, but can go even with 512 megabytes.
3) Two gigabytes of free space on your phone (this is required, otherwise you simply won’t be able to download the game, since you won’t have enough space on your phone).
4) Processor with a frequency of 1 GHz
It’s just that at that time not everyone had good phones capable of playing this game. And buying a new one just for the sake of it seemed like an inadequate solution. But technology is gradually developing and now almost any phone on the Android platform can easily meet such requirements. The following phone models are suitable for playing GTA San Andreas:

The company's creation, GTA San Andreas, is far from new on the computer games market. Despite this, San Andreas has not lost its appeal for more than ten years. What makes gamers return to GTA? These are nostalgic impulses, and really cool gameplay, and a chic atmosphere of immersion in criminal showdowns. But what attracts most of all is the opportunity to move around in space in any direction, visit bars and clubs, hairdressers and shops.
Gameplay Features
The storyline allows the main character Carl Johnson, better known under the nickname C.J., to move around not one, but three large cities: Los Santos (analogous to Los Angeles), San Fierro (San Francisco) and Las Venturo, which is very similar to Las Vegas. In addition, CJ is thrown into other places: deserts, villages and small settlements reminiscent of the suburbs of various American states, such as Kentucky, Arizona or Texas. All these cities and suburbs are densely populated: on the streets you can meet ordinary passers-by, young people hanging out in clubs, as well as taxi drivers, police officers, bandits, and so on.
CJ represents the caste of criminal gangs, therefore, he cannot do without a gun. In GTA San-Andreas, the arsenal of weapons is very diverse. These include knives, pistols, shotguns, rifles, and machine guns. In general, you can choose a weapon to suit the most demanding taste.
When choosing a weapon, it is worth remembering what mission you are going through at the moment. Thus, guns with a silencer are suitable for completing “silent” quests. In order to “quietly” remove the offender without attracting the attention of passing mobs, which could result in calling the police, it is better to use a knife. And for a quick job that doesn’t require silence, it’s quite possible to use a bazooka, the main thing is to get away in time.
How to hire a gang in Gta San Andreas?
You can not only run away from the police, but also shoot back. And it’s better to do this with your gang. If you don't know how to recruit your gang, then there are a couple of ways that will help you:
1. The hard way: complete tasks, and as you complete quests your reputation and rating will increase. This will allow you to increase the number of members of your bandit group.
2. Easy way: use code OGXSDAG. After its introduction, the maximum number of group members will be available to you.
Now directly about the hiring process itself. You can recognize guys who are friendly to you by their green clothes. Approach them, select any weapon from your arsenal, point it at the one you want to hire. The main thing is to catch him in sight with the right mouse button. Then press G on your keyboard. Done. Now the dude is in your gang.
GTA San Andreas: Criminal Russia
Criminal Russia is, first of all, fresh gameplay, offering a variety of more than a hundred different missions. You can ride the elevator while visiting the Ostankino Tower, enjoy the beauty of the landscape while riding on the observation wheel, and visit the domestic disco. In addition, the developers of this mod tried to bring the effects of weather conditions closer to real ones. And the presence of new characters in padded jackets gives the game some “zest” and originality.
The plot of this modification takes place in a small territory of the post-Soviet space, namely, it captures three new cities located on the territory of Russia and Ukraine. There is even a small Russian village called Edovo.
The main feature of Criminal Russia is the presence of Russian cars and motorcycles. The lineup is represented by all cars of the Soviet and Russian automobile industry. There are about two hundred of them in this mod.
In addition, there is a radio wave with Russian-language songs. The radio is called to match the “Criminal Russia” modification. Being in a Russian car, listening to Russian hits, driving past such dear “Stalin” and “Khrushchev” buildings, you will be able to immerse yourself in a world familiar to your heart like never before.
Automotive abundance in San Andreas
Cars for GTA San Andreas amaze with their diversity. A suitable car can be selected for both road racers and street racers. The abundance of freight transport, as well as the presence of tractors, combines and even a tank, make driving around the city a butcher's dream.
The developers did not ignore flight lovers. For faster and longer air travel, airplanes and helicopters can be used. And for low soaring over short distances, a jetpack is perfect.
How to call a taxi?
Among other things, there are also trains, boats and motorcycles and even bicycles. Cars are also divided by social status: police, fire, taxi. I would like to focus on taxi services. Many may not even know that it can be called. How to call a taxi in GTA San Andreas? There are actually three ways:
1. You probably know about this option. Simply pull the taxi driver out of the car, take his place behind the wheel and begin completing the Taxi Driver quests.
2. This method is more civilized. You stand on the side of the road and as soon as you see a taxi in your field of vision, press “Y”. The car stops. To land in it, press “Y” again. Next, on the map, select the place where you need to be taken and enjoy the trip.
3. For those who are not suitable for the first two options, there is also the opportunity to get their own “yellow” car. On any site that is dedicated to GTA SA, you can find a special modification. Download it and install the “TaxiScript txd” file in the “Modelid” folder, and the “CS” file in the “Cleo” folder.
How to complete a mission in GTA San Andreas?
The point of the game action in GTA SA comes down to completing various quests in order to promote CJ up the career ladder among other mafiosi. Completing each task brings a reward. This can be money, weapons, cars, real estate, as well as rare and very useful items. For example, a jetpack can only be obtained after successfully completing Area 51.
Some quests are a no-brainer. But it often happens that the player has a question: how to complete the mission? On the forums you can meet fans who share their experiences, discuss difficulties and even make ratings. The most difficult quests that you need to work on include:
Free fall;
flying school;
driving school;
vertical bird;
races for Caesar;
black project.
Of course, those who play using a special mod may not even think about the complexity of the task. But those who pass San Andreas the honest way need good skills. So, to complete Free Fall you will need excellent piloting skills. You can get it by training at the airbase, which is located in the desert near Las Venturas. But the difficulty also lies in the fact that you have at your disposal an ordinary “corn maker”. On it you have to catch up and transfer to a passenger airliner, which is moving faster. Only dexterity and dexterity can help here. In addition, if you guess where the airliner will fly and head towards it, then everything will certainly work out.
If you still fail to complete any quest, then it is quite possible that the thought may arise: how to skip a mission in GTA San Andreas? As you know, there are no hopeless situations. To skip a quest you are stuck on, you need to install a special CLEO script. Then, by pressing Shift+M, you can scroll through the tasks and select the one that suits you best.
Secrets, myths, legends
Like any other game, GTA SA has not escaped the fate of acquiring an incredible number of rumors and legends. Attentive players find many different hints and tips. Here are some secrets of GTA San Andreas that may or may not be useful to you:
After passing two houses to the left of the residence of Sweet, CJ's brother, you can find a pistol;
on some windows of gun stores you can find the phrase: “GANS, GANS, GANS,” which was a code that helps you acquire weapons in GTA 3;
if you don’t press the keyboard buttons or move the mouse for a while, then CJ switches to the mode of an onlooker wandering along the street;
By typing the code IOJUFZN, you turn on chaos mode in the city: people fall into a state of insanity, attack each other, rob stores, power outages also begin, and traffic lights switch to emergency mode;
if you shoot a rifle with a sniper scope at the moon, it will change size;
under the bridge, which is located not far from Ryder’s house, you can find brass knuckles, and at the railway crossing from San Fierro to Las Venturas there is a good machine gun.
And literally in a nutshell about the myths in GTA San Andreas. The most common of them are the myths about UFOs, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, a ghost car and a maniac with a chainsaw. Some of them really exist in the game, and some are just a figment of the fevered imagination of gamers.

Previous game in the GTA series: Vice City
The next game in the GTA IV series
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (GTA: San Andreas) is the third 3D game and the fifth in the entire Grand Theft Auto series.
The huge open game world and the variety of environments allowed the developers to include significantly more styles and interesting stories in GTA: San Andreas than in GTA III or Vice City, which also affected the characters.
The main theme of the Los Santos stage of the game, for example, is the theme of clashes between street gangs who fight for territory and influence in the city. One of these groups is the CJ gang, which also includes: Shawn “Sweet” Johnson, the protagonist’s sister Kendle Johnson, Melvin “Big Smoke” (Big Smoke), Harris, Lance “Ryder” Wilson and Jeffrey “OG Loc” » Cross. In Los Santos, Carl also meets the leader of the enemy group “Varrios Los Aztecas” Cesar Vialpando, the boyfriend of his sister Kendl, who later became Carl’s best friend, and more than once fights with other gangs: “Ballas” and “Vagos”.
Hippie characters, as well as East Asian gangs (local triads) and Latin American drug cartels meet in San Fierro, while three mafia families control the gambling business in Las Venturas. Also in the game there are such characters as Mike Toreno, the government agent for whom Carl works, and Catalina, Claude's future girlfriend from GTA 3.
The heroes of GTA: San Andreas were voiced by famous actors, including Samuel L. Jackson, Frank Vincent, James Woods, Chris Penn, William Fichtner, Andy Dick, rappers Ice T, Kid Frost, The Game and musicians Axl Rose and Shawn Ryder.
San Andreas was also the first game in the series to feature strong profanity among characters. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories follows the example of GTA: San Andreas in its voice acting.
San Andreas
The fictional state of San Andreas is mainly located in southern California and Nevada (USA) and includes three main cities. Las Venturas (and the surrounding desert) are based on Las Vegas and the desert in Nevada; Los Santos and the surrounding area are reminiscent of Los Angeles and the Californian wastelands; San Fierro is the equivalent of San Francisco. San Andreas covers approximately 44 km² (17 sq mi), which is almost four times the size of Vice City and five times the size of Liberty City.
Plot of GTA: San Andreas
After learning of his mother's death, Carl "CJ" Johnson returns from Liberty City to his native Los Santos. He learns that his best friends, and, work for a corrupt officer and the enemy group "Ballas". Smoke and Ryder help the Ballas ambush Carl's brother Sweet, who is arrested and sent to prison by Tenpenny. Tenpenny also grabs Carl and takes him out of town. CJ, realizing that the corrupt officer is Sweet's only hope of getting out of prison, continues to carry out Tenpenny's tasks.
Gradually, Karl gains new allies and friends, including the blind leader of the Chinese group and a businessman; at first glance, indifferent to everything, but well aware of the secrets of the government, a hippie nicknamed (English: Truth), and a former member of a Latin American gang, who, like Karl, was betrayed by old friends. Karl, along with Caesar, as well as technicians who are Truth’s friends, open a car tuning shop in San Fierro, which is quickly gaining popularity. After killing Ryder, Carl comes under the influence of undercover government agent Mike Toreno, who claims he can free Sweet. Under Toreno's instructions, Carl avoids visiting Los Santos, instead continuing to work with Wu Zi Mu to increase the fame and influence of the new casino in the mafia-divided Las Venturas. Carl also brings Madd Dogg, the distraught rapper whose career Carl inadvertently destroyed, back to the top of the stardom by helping the rapper as his manager. Carl enjoys his new life, but unexpectedly learns that Sweet is being released, which is why he immediately returns to Los Santos. To his surprise, Sweet condemns Karl for completely forgetting his hometown and old friends.
Tenpenny, who was tried for bribery and a number of other crimes, was acquitted, which caused massive indignation among the residents of Los Santos and led to a real riot in the city (based on real events in Los Angeles in 1992). Inspired by Sweet, Carl wants to take revenge on Tenpenny and destroy his business, for which he wins back lost territory from other gangs and destroys drug dealers who distributed poison on Grove Street. Carl then sneaks into the lair of the traitor Smoke, now the biggest drug lord in the city, and kills him. These events force Tenpenny to leave Los Santos, but he does not have time to do so. Sweet and Carl chase Tenpenny through the streets of Los Santos, and during the chase, the officer loses control and, knocking down a bridge fence, falls along with the car. Shortly after the accident, Tenpenny dies from his injuries. In the last scene, the Johnson family is reunited and Carl walks out the door saying, “I'll walk around the block and see what's going on.”
Innovations in GTA: San Andreas
A large number of new features have been included in the game. New vehicles have appeared in GTA: San Andreas, including bicycles (which also brought a new control system), tractors with detachable trailers, police motorcycles, tow trucks with a controlled crane, combine harvesters, ATVs, airplanes, a military fighter, a jetpack and trains. In total, there are about two hundred types of vehicles in the game (for example, in GTA: Vice City there are only 120 types). Also for the first time in the series, the main character can swim and dive and climb over fences. To increase their firepower, players can use two weapons at the same time, and also drive a car while their gang members fire while driving.
Personalization of GTA: San Andreas
The developers introduced the ability to change the appearance of the main character. Clothing and accessories (which players can purchase from a variety of stores in San Andreas), new haircuts and tattoos are all items that CJ can purchase, and these changes cause a more noticeable reaction from NPCs than in GTA: Vice City. The player must also monitor Carl's health by regularly eating at fast food eateries (for example, Cluckin' Bell), canteens, bars and nightclubs, or buying food from vendors on the street. Food absorption and exercise affect the muscles and appearance of the main hero If Karl eats too much in a short period of time, he will feel unwell and vomit, and if he overeats regularly, he will become fat and walk slower. If the main character does not eat for a long time, he loses his muscles, and later begins to shrink. health. The game also highlights some of Carl's skills: driving, shooting, endurance and lung capacity, which improve every time the player uses them. All of this represents elements of the role-playing game in GTA: San Andreas.
