Along with his brother Sean 'Sweet' Johnson and their friends, CJ sets out to become a major player within San Andreas' criminal underworld and reclaim the Grove Street Families' former prestige as a powerful and respected street gang.
Upon arriving in Los Santos, CJ is harassed by corrupt police officers and finds his old neighborhood of Grove Street ripped apart by drug abuse and gang violence.
Players are introduced to new protagonist Carl 'CJ' Johnson as he departs Liberty City in 1992 and returns to his home state of San Andreas following his mother's murder in a drive-by shooting. It is the seventh title in the Grand Theft Auto franchise and the third GTA game rendered in full polygonal 3D. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a crime-themed open world action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North and originally published by Rockstar Games for PlayStation 2 in October 2004.
