Our take

The rating gap between this and Vice City or GTA III tells you Rockstar tuned the controls better here, or players just have more patience for CJ’s story. Either way, San Andreas earns its reputation as the mobile GTA to actually play through.

About Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Five years ago, Carl Johnson escaped from the pressures of life in Los Santos, San Andreas, a city tearing itself apart with gang trouble, drugs and corruption. Where filmstars and millionaires do their best to avoid the dealers and gangbangers.

Now, it’s the early 90’s. Carl’s got to go home. His mother has been murdered, his family has fallen apart and his childhood friends are all heading towards disaster.

On his return to the neighborhood, a couple of corrupt cops frame him for homicide. CJ is forced on a journey that takes him across the entire state of San Andreas, to save his family and to take control of the streets.

Rockstar Games brings its biggest release to mobile yet with a vast open-world covering the state of San Andreas and its three major cities – Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas – with enhanced visual fidelity and over 70 hours of gameplay.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas features: • Remastered, high-resolution graphics built specifically for mobile including lighting enhancements, an enriched color palette and improved character models. • Cloud save support for playing across all your mobile devices for Rockstar Social Club Members. • Dual analog stick controls for full camera and movement control. • Three different control schemes and customizable controls with contextual options to display buttons only when you need them. • Compatible with the MoGa Wireless Game Controllers and select Bluetooth and USB gamepads. • Integrated with Immersion tactile effects.  • Tailor your visual experience with adjustable graphic settings.

Languages Supported: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian and Japanese.

For optimal performance, we recommend re-booting your device after downloading and closing other applications when playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

What we like

  • Enormous 70-hour open world across three cities
  • Strong story and character work that still holds up
  • Visual upgrade over the original release

Watch out for

  • Touch controls remain the weak link for driving and aiming
  • Storage and performance demands are heavy for a mobile game
Verdict: The best of Rockstar's mobile ports and still one of the biggest single-player games you can put on a phone.
