Large Theft Car: San Andreas

Large Theft Car: San Andreas ( AWG: SA ) is a Video game of objective shooting developed by Rockstar North, and left in 2004 on Playstation 2, then in 2005 on XBox and PC. It is the sixth opus of the series Grand Theft Auto and the last of the trilogy Grand Theft Auto III.

Because of its violent and sexual contents, the play was interdict with less than 18 years in the United States and disadvised with less than 16 years in Europe.

Being held in 1992, the play turns around the main character Carl “CJ” Johnson who turns over in his birthplace after having learned the murder from his mother. CJ finds there its family and her old gang, Grove Street Families , in full distress. All along the play, CJ demene to find the murderer of his mother while trying to give again with its band its glory of antan.

Just like the others opus of the series Large Theft Car , the exit of San Andreas and its business success generated several Polémique S like the hidden contents of the play which brought to the reappraisal of the classification of the play and its displacement consequently in the racks of many retailers.

History of the development

After the success of Large Theft Car: Defect City , much of players imagined new a Grand Theft Auto on PlayStation 2 for end 2003. The first concrete advertisement of a forthcoming AWG arrived the October 29th 2003, when Take-Two Interactive declared that a fifth AWG, with the still dubious title, was planned for end 2004. At the time, the assumption most shared by the players was that the play would proceed either in the fictitious city California of San Andreas at the time current, or in the fictitious city of the Nevada Sin City in the Années 1970.

March 1st 2004, Take-Two declared with the press that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas should leave the October 19th 2004 in North America, the October 22nd in Europe and the October 29th in Australia. The March 11th, the first information revealed on the play revealed that San Andreas was not a city but a state being composed of three cities with whole share and their neighborhoods.

The September 9th 2004, Take-Two indicated that the coming out date was deferred one week and that a version PC and Xbox was well envisaged.

The October 26th 2004, Large Theft Car: San Andreas left on PlayStation 2 to North America and the October 29th to Europe and Australia. Versions PC and Xbox of the play left the June 7th 2005 to North America and the June 10th 2005 to Europe and Australia.

Gameplay

Large Theft Car: San Andreas rests on the same principles as what made the success of the two precedents opus, to mix to a play with the third anybody and a play of control and to be able to evolve/move freely on a playing field increasingly more immense. With foot, the player can Marche R, to run, Combat tre and Saut er but also, a first in the series, Nage R and to climb. The player can always steal and lead a broad choice of vehicles including/understanding of the Automobile S, of the Bateau X, the Avion S, the Hélicoptère S, the motor bike S, and the bicycles.

The open and non-linear environment makes it possible to the player to choose how it wishes to evolve/move in the play. If to finish some Mission S remains essential to progress in the history and to resolve the access to new cities and their contents, a multitude of optional additional missions can be accomplished with the gladly of the player.

Apart from the missions, the player can explore any recess of the chart and, if it wants of it, make a massacre (shootings, steerings…) with the risk to attract the police force. More serious is the crime, stronger is the answer: the police force will deal with the minor infringements before leaving the place with SWAT, FBI and the Militaire S in the highest levels of alarm.

Among the additional missions the traditional missions of Taxi are present, of Ambulance, Pompier or police force but also of the innovations like the missions of Routier S or Train which proposes to carry out deliveries per hour and the driving schools to help the player to learn the various techniques corresponding to each type of vehicle.

The play also brings innovations compared to series AWG: the player can now entirely decide physical aspect of his character (choice of clothing, hairstyle, tattooings, but also required to make it eat and to maintain its body thanks to meetings with the gymnasium), it can also swim, fly planes, play casino, jump in parachute of a plane or top of a building, etc the liberty of action is thus increasingly larger.

Innovations

Contrary to Vice City and AWG III , the play does not have any time of loading when the player moves in another sector of San Andreas. The only visible screens of loading are limited to kinematics and the interiors. The hidden packages also disappeared, replaced by Graffiti S, Huître S, horseshoes to be discovered.

The system of combat was re-examined and certain concepts of another play of Rockstar, Manhunt , were in particular built-in some elements of infiltration (gun with silencer, “fatal blow”) or the color of the reticle of aiming which changes green with the red then with the black according to the health of the target.

There is also the possibility of changing its appearance into choosing its hairstyle, its clothes or its tattooings.

The State de San Andreas

The fictitious State of San Andreas is located between the California and the Nevada and includes/understands three big cities: Los Santos and its Badlands (inspired of Los Angeles and the badlands Californian), San Fierro (inspired of San Francisco), and Tired Venturas in full desert of Tierra Robada (inspired of Las Vegas and the Sierra Nevada). It is possible to also visit twelve rural small towns distributed in three counties: Red County (inspired of Orange County) composed of the small towns of Blueberry, Montgomery, Dillimore and Palomino Creek, Flint County, Whetstone made up of the small town of Angel Fucks, and Bone County made up of the small towns of El Quebrados, Las Payasdas, Las Barrancas, Bayside Marina and Fort Carson. There exist other interesting places like the Chiliad Mount (based on the Mont Diablo), a 800 m high mountain, a gigantic stopping (based on the Barrage Hoover), a great military complex in full desert (called Area 69 in reference to the Area 51 and the sexual position) and goods of other sites. San Andreas roughly represents an adventure playground of 36 km ², that is to say almost four times more than Vice City and five times more than Liberty City.

  • Los Santos

Los Santos takes again famous buildings like the Watts Towers, the Los Angeles Convention Center, the Capitol Tower, U.S. Bank Tower, the Great Western Forum, the Famed Walk Of of Hollywood, the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and the Grauman' S Chinese Theater. The town of Los Santos has several important districts including the gang-ridden Ganton, Idlewood and East Los Santos, respectively based on Compton, Inglewood, and East Los Angeles. Also, wealthy Rodeo , Mulholland districts , and glitzy Vinewood (supplemented by a giant panel VINEWOOD on the hills) is based on Hollywood and constitutes the downtown area of Los Santos. Red County , vast extended from countryside to the north of Los Santos, is a parody of the quite real county this time Ci of Orange County, county of California belonging to the conurbation of Los Angeles. It has a pretty municipal park, Verdant Bluff, and a beautiful beach with a large wheel under the names of Santa Maria and Verona Beach.

  • San Fierro

The districts of San Fierro, them, correspond to interpretations of certain places of San Francisco. Thus, San Fierro includes/understands Hashbury (inspired of Haight-Ashbury), Queens (inspired of The Castro), Chinatown and the Gant Bridge (inspired of the Golden Spoils Bridge). Like its model, the town of San Fierro is crossed by a line of tram and is built on large Colline S. Of other monuments known were represented like the large clock of the Embarcadero, the Transamerica Pyramid (named Big Pointy Building in the play), Lombard Street ( Windy Windy Windy Street ) as well as places Scottish like the Forth Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge. Also, the district named Garcia is a homage to the leader of the group Grateful Dead, native of San Francisco, late the Jerry Garcia, and the town hall of San Fierro resembles that of San Francisco.

  • Tired Venturas

Inspired of Las Vegas, Las Venturas is a city entirely dedicated to the casino S, where the player can play parts of Blackjack, of Poker, caster or to use Machines with under. In addition to the casinos, many club of Strip-tease are present at Las Venturas. Several casinos of Las Vegas Strip were reproduced for the occasion like the Excalibur (“ Like-have-Batch”), the sphynx and the pyramid of the Luxor (“ The Camel' S Toe ”), the Mirage (" the visage"), the Circus Circus (" Clown in the pocket") and the Pioneer Club, where the Vic and Vicky of Las Vegas are respectively replaced by Avery Carrington and Candy Suxxx, of the characters of Vice City. the two casinos where the player can enter to test the games of chance are the Caesar' S de luxe hotel (" Caligula' s") and the Imperial de luxe hotel (" Furnace dragons casino").

History

The history proceeds in 1992, in a State torn by the Crime, San Andreas. Carl Johnson, known as “CJ”, passes his youth in a black district of Los Santos, then decides day at the following day to leave towards Liberty City in the hope a better life. Five years later, it turns over in the district to assist with the Enterrement his mother who has just been assassinated. Its return among his is rather cold: in addition to his/her brother and majority of his former friends of the ghetto who always regarded his departure as a treason, the investigation into his/her mother tramples. Moreover, three police corrupted sadly familiar with Carl, Frank Tenpenny and its two associated, explains to him clearly why they do not want any to re-examine it to trott itself in the streets.

After the burial, his/her former friends Big Smoke and Ryder and his/her Sweet brother explain to him that Grove Street, the old gang of street of Carl, is with lowest. Their “brothers” reduce themselves by Ballas, the rival gang of the ghetto, which invades all the city, when it is not the Drogue which puts them out-circuit. Decided to help them his, Carl manages little by little to make find with the districts his aspect of antan and to regain the confidence of his friends, while binding friendship in way with Cesar Vialpando, a member of a gang Hispanique which leaves with his/her Kendl sister.

He meets several characters whose OG Loc which will require inter alia has Carl to recover the notebook of Madd Dogg what will push it has to commit suicide later. Carl will catch up with it when it jumps of the roof. He declares the war in Vagos but especially in Ballas whose the latter are the sworn enemies of the Orange Groove Familles, the green gang of Carl. He will join together also the greens which had been sawn in several parts and which were made almost the war. Carl will also eliminate with Big Smoke, the gang of Ruskofs which Na not of influence has Los Santos but which is extremely powerful. CJ will be also made trap by the S.W.A.T but will leave itself there with difficulty, the S.W.A.T having brought back heaps of reinforcements.

On the traces of a Voiture which would have been seen close to the place where his/her mother died, Carl and César discovers that the owners are not other than Tenpenny and Pulaski and, worse, that Big Smoke and Ryder have, with some Ballas, sold their respective gangs. Carl suspect then his two friends to have announced to the police force the war of gangs to which Sweet was taking part. It goes then quickly to this one, just at the moment when half of police force of Los Santos unloads to stop the two gangs. Sweet, casualty, are stopped and taken along in a hospital-prison whereas the team of Tenpenny recovers CJ and takes it along into full Campagne which explains to him why his/her brother is in Prison and that it must obey to them if it wants that it arrives to him nothing. Los Santos fell between the hands from Ballas and the gangs of Carl and César do not exist any more. Carl does not have any more but to forget Los Santos and the Ghetto.

He then crosses all the state of San Andreas accompanied by César, his sister and new meetings made on the way. CJ meets in shift Truth, it doped of which it will have to burn its field of drug before putting the remainder in the car of a prosecutor has San Fierro. It will have to also prick a reaping-machine threshing-machine for Truth. In addition, it meets the cousin of César, Catalina, a woman completely nut who makes make has CJ a series of 4 steerings distributed everywhere in the countryside before fleeing with Claude Speed, hero of AWG III, has Liberty City.

Arrived at San Fierro with César and Kendl, they open a garage and deals with all sorts of thing to start has to make it go. Considering it does not have any more a " famille" , Carl puts himself with Woozie and Ran Fa Li, chiefs of the triads to eliminate the enemy gangs from San Fierro. But it is made catch up with by its past. Carl discovers a trade union of the crime, Loco Syndicate, directed by Jizzy that Carl will butt after having made team with him during a short moment. This trade union reaches an agreement with Ballas which is represented by the former friend of Carl, Ryder. Carl eliminates Ryder and several from the heads of the organization before leaving towards the desert to re-examine Mike Toreno. Carl believed that it was of Loco Syndicate and thought of having eliminated it whereas it is an agent placed high of the government. Toreno gives the order has Carl to eliminate from the rival agencies and asks him to repurchase an airport closed down in the desert and to learn how to fly with a plane.

CJ share then has Las Venturas to open a casino with Woozie, the Chinese blind man met in San Fierro.

In Las Venturas, Carl discovers that they are the gangster families Italy which do not have the seizure on the casinos, and which the arrival of a Chinese casino is very badly appreciated. Woozie undergoes several pressures at which Carl puts a term by ruining the Maffia by directing their casino and while making leave Salvatore Leone, godfather in the Mafia Leone de Las Venturas. Salvatore believed that it had eliminated all the people and casinos which disturbed it…

All becomes complicated for Carl when he learns that Tenpenny and its partners have troubles because their chicaneries were discovered by FBI and that they were folded up in Las Venturas. The cops ask him to go to recover a file compromising which should not arrive at its destination, in the hands of the federal ones. Once the task carried out, Tenpenny gives him appointment in a phantom city to recover the file. Unfortunately, it decided to get rid at the same time of Carl, who knows too much of it. This last would have probably died if Tenpenny had not also struck Hernandez, his/her colleague whom he shows to have very balanced with the FBI. Because it lets then Pulaski supervise CJ to dig fall it from Hernandez, which takes again conscience at time and, touched by his/her colleague, launches his weapon to Carl who can then face Pulaski and kills it at the end of a track race. Carl also will have to work again for Mike Toreno, the government official, which after several doubtful missions on its account, releases his/her brother in reward.

Carl leaves to join his brother with Los Santos which requires of him to renew it in Grove Street. Carl balks but is carried out. Grove Street is now completely corroded by drug, the houses are dévalisées, chaos reigns. Furious, Sweet requires of Carl his assistance to recover the district. After long street fightings, Grove Street is able to take again the top on Ballas and to once eliminate them for all.

All seems to go for best when Tenpenny, which had been stopped by the police force, is released during its judgment, for lack of evidence. This injustice revolts the inhabitants of Los Santos which plunges consequently in a Civil war. Carl will then learn the site from the cushy job of Big Smoke and share to get rid of him before finishing some with Tenpenny.

Finally removed from his past, Carl leaves to live again in his district surrounded by his family and his new friends.
