San Andreas is similarly structured to the previous two
games in the series. The core gameplay consists of elements of a third-person
shooter and a driving game, affording the player a large, open environment in
which to move around. On foot, the player's character is capable of walking,
running, swimming (the first Grand Theft Auto game in which diving and swimming
without drowning is possible), limited climbing, and jumping, as well as using
weapons and various forms of hand to hand combat. Players can operate a variety
of vehicles, including automobiles, boats, airplanes, helicopters, trains,
tanks, motorcycles and bicycles. Players may also import vehicles rather than
steal them.
Carl Johnson is Grand Theft Auto's most customizable
protagonist due to the possibility in-game to change his clothes, tattoos,
hairstyle and even his body mass in which he can be fat, skinny or muscular.
Later Grand Theft Auto III-era games eliminated much of the customization,
swimming, and climbing abilities enjoyed by CJ.
