Today Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas made its long awaited debut on the PS3. Gamers in North America can download the sandbox action title through PSN for $14.99. European PS3 owners will receive the game tomorrow.
San Andreas, originally released in 2004, was set in a fictionalized version of California, with three major cities to explore. Players could explore the massive game world with a variety of vehicles, including airplanes, motorcycles and boats. There were also a few unusual rides hidden throughout the world, including a jetpack and combine harvester.
The campaign centers around CJ, a gang member returning to his home city of Los Santos after a long absence. You can learn more about the story by watching the introduction video below. This 20-minute prologue introduces many of the colorful characters you'll encounter and provides insight into the many subplots. Expect to hear many familiar celebrity voices.
It's a bit crazy how long PS3 gamers had to wait for this port. San Andreas has been available on Xbox Live and Steam since 2008. Better late than never, though, right?
