That is only the beginning of the side quests. Players can learn how to pilot these vehicles through training missions, which are basically side quests. There are 240 vehicles that the player can use, and those include everything from standard bikes all the way to fighter jets. Vehicles are abundant in the game, and they are essential to reaching certain locations in the allotted time. It's even possible to change the character's physique by making him work out or learn new fighting skills. For starters, players can customize their character with a number of tattoos, hairstyles, and clothes.

The true genius of the game is in the details, and there are a ton of details. The player controls a single character through an open-world, and the area is ridiculously huge. The game is something like Sim City, but for players who want to cause destruction and mayhem wherever they go. The main storyline alone takes up to 30 hours to complete, and there are tons of side quests along the way.

The story is simple enough, and follows Carl Johnson, or CJ, on his quest to become a mafia boss. It was quite an accomplishment when the game was released because it was so much larger in scale than any other open-world game at the time. This was the third game in the Grand Theft Auto trilogy that released on Playstation 2, so many younger players will probably have no experience with this game. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a game for older consoles that has been ported to mobile devices like the Android, and this game has stood against time to provide an engaging experience that even modern games have a hard time matching.
