Rarely has any video game series left an impact on gaming culture comparable to Grand Theft Auto. Many great titles have come out of the studio Rockstar Games, but there are two of their games that are clearly better than all others – GTA: San Andreas and GTA V. While one defined open-world games in the beginning of 2000s, another has become one of the highest selling entertainment products of all time. Both games are famous for iconic characters, enormous worlds and infinite possibilities for mayhem. Are you longing for CJ in San Andreas or still playing with Michael, Franklin and Trevor in Los Santos? The question is controversial and difficult to answer.
GTA: San AndreasGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas, released in 2004, can be referred to as one of the most ambitious games ever created. Players take on the role of Carl "CJ" Johnson who comes back to his native town Los Santos and finds himself in the middle of gang fights, corruption, family conflicts, and criminal empires covering the whole state.
It is the scope of the game that was innovative and impressive in San Andreas. It offered not only three cities but also vast countryside, character customization and revolutionary gameplay with possibility of working out, changing hairstyle, customization of cars, flying planes, gambling in casinos and building your own criminal king.
San Andreas is still considered one of the best stories in the series with its personal and emotional characters like Big Smoke, Ryder, and Officer Tenpenny.
For many people, it was San Andreas that became the epitome of gaming nostalgia.

GTA VWith the release of Grand Theft Auto V in 2013, Rockstar Games set new standards for the open world genre again. Featuring three playable characters, named Michael, Franklin, and Trevor, the storyline revolves around their lives intertwined by several heists and betrayals.
What makes GTA V special is its polish and replayability. The game features an absolutely lively, detailed and fun to explore world, full of various natural elements such as mountainous and sandy landscapes or even beaches in addition to the usual cities.
Thanks to the presence of three main characters, players got to see the world from different perspectives, and Rockstar was able to tell one of its most ambitious stories. While Trevor became probably one of the most memorable and unpredictably insane characters in the history of video games, Franklin and Michael brought much-needed balance to it.
Of course, we can't forget about GTA Online, which became one of the main factors in the success of the game in the last decade. Hundreds of millions of people keep playing it and racing, building businesses and performing heists with each other.
For many players, GTA V remains the best Grand Theft Auto game and, possibly, one of the best video games of all time.
