5 unforgettable things about GTA San Andreas

This list is difficult to effectively tackle as there are just too many outstanding elements in GTA San Andreas. Nonetheless, here are five of the most notable ones:

1) Soundtrack

GTA San Andreas has arguably the best in-game soundtrack of the era. Featuring some of the freshest beats from '90s Hip-Hop, the soundtrack of GTA San Andreas perfectly captures the essence of the game.

2) "Ah s--t, here we go again"

This one has got to be the most iconic line from GTA San Andreas, right up there with Big Smoke's order and "All we had to do was follow the damn train, CJ!"

This dialog is so popular that it even became a highly popular meme not long ago.

3) Big Smoke's betrayal

This is something that really took players by surprise. Prior to the Green Sabre mission in GTA San Andreas, Big Smoke was more of a comic relief. Over the course of this single mission, however, he rose to the position of the secondary antagonist of the game.

4) Catalina

It is not that players voluntarily remember Catalina, it is just that she is one of the most unforgettable characters from GTA San Andreas. Those who played GTA 3 probably pitied Claude when they saw Catalina go with him after dumping CJ.

5) End of the Line

On a more serious note, End of the Line was the perfect mission to end the storyline of GTA San Andreas. The final mission of this preemin GTA title provided an excellent conclusion with the death of Big Smoke and Officer Tenpenny, two major antagonists of the game.
