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.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The game is super, Im playing it for the second time, Ive never had the opportunity to play on other platforms, there was such an opportunity on the iPhone, now we really want to play GTA 4 on the iPhone, rockstar hear us.
We love playing this game so much its the only game we play it has so much good stuff to the game the only thing it needs is more realistic to the game.
Its just like back in the day playing it on the ps2 but better.
The swat team do not repel down from the helicopter, they just spawn on the sides of the helicopter and fall down ruining the police system. Can you guys fix this.
Okay we hate defenitive edition but this classic is so good we rather play it than definitive.
We love it but maybe yall can add were we can do cheat codes pls we really love this game.
Dope just like ps2 on a phone but no cheat codes tho smh more challenging so it more interesting.
Sooooo funny when seeing Cj not cusbut the missions were hard l was losing the stuff until l completed all mission lloveeeeeeeeeeee this one guy rdrey but l still love the game soooooo muchhhhhhh.
We LOVE THIS GAME BUT ITS SO SAD when the ballas take over and grove st loses everything.
The game was great and the best part was the game play.
Great! It's just what we need sometimes. You know what we mean! This delivers, smooth gameplay, great music, carjacking, hooker running over, speeding, crashing, fighting, killing, robbing, running from the cops and did we mention the thing about the hookers? Yes, you know the game and of course you need it. Buy it, it's faf.
Ive had this game on mobile for about 5 years and they just recently updated the frame rate to 60 fps and its so game changing we had to give a 5 star review.
This is a gta game on mobile which is the only GTA games with mobile, love it, amazing detail, amazing cars for its time.
The graphics are of good quality the game runs perfect we love it.
Bring back so many memories with us and our loved ones thats not here on this earth anymore. We love the fact we can play it on us phone.
Im stuck in the First date mission after badlands mission there is nothing show new mission no mission error.
Este es el mejor juego por su historia pero tiene algunos bugs pero son casi indetectables.
Tried it again cuz lost phone so fuunnnnn.
We love grand theft auto: San Andreas.
It brought us back our childhood memories.
San Andreas Mobile is an absolute classic that still holds up beautifully. From the gameplay to the story, everything feels just as engaging as the original, with the added bonus of being able to play it on the go. We especially loved how alive the world feels even down to the way NPCs (bystanders/civilians) behave and react, which makes the city immersive and dynamic. The missions are memorable, the freedom to explore is unmatched, and the overall experience is fantastic. Our only small critiques are the swimming and aiming mechanics. Swimming, while better than nothing, feels a bit clunky during missions where its required, and the aiming system could use some polish. Theres barely any ability to fine-tune aim the gunplay itself isnt hard, but activating precise aiming feels less smooth than it should be. Improving those two areas would make the mobile experience even more enjoyable.
Love this game! All time favorite! Ill play this in all space and time.
Please add on-Screen keyboard for using Cheat codes like in the Netflix version of GTA SAN ANDREAS PLZ.
The best game know to man, has a great story. But you cant activate cheats.
Have nothing bad to say, plays great, everything is available and runs well. Very entertaining. Definitely worth the buy, just beat the story 2 days ago and still can go back and have fun playing.
We love the game so much we could never stop playing like it is the first ever must have game for us and when we finish the game we always get the nostalgic feeling and feel to cry man its amazing we love it.
We rely love this game except it freezes for a few seconds and idk why.
Perfect classic, but idk how else to ask besides on a game we already purchased, and maybe yall could or would what about midnight club mobile? This would def be the best racing game ever on mobile and to bring back a classic like that or maybe even a new from the ground up game from those titles?????? Please???? It would take off and make yall some money! Think we all tired of nfs no limits js. Ik its EAs game but fr this would be it.
The most beautiful game in history.
We love this game its great we love it. We have it on our Xbox our PlayStation alleged with the other guy state guys. Keep it up.
Please fix the bug where every time we load in to the game our game crashes.
Man brings some many childhood memories.
El mejor juego de mi vida, lo mejorrrrr juego en iPhone 16 y lo juego con control de Xbox series.
Hey we were just wondering if you have time to add cheats into this mobile version of the game? If you can add a cheats option somewhere in the settings then to type the cheat. Id really appreciate this and we hope you see this.
How do you you use cheats codes on this app.
This game is so nostalgic we remember playing it on our Xbox 360 we just have some fond memories about this game.
Just great over all if you wanna be in nostalgia.
We are Chinese player.When we were 13years old, we played this game.l play this game one years now.its a good game . This game is like an operable gangster crime movie, is full of immersion.
Bringing GTA V to mobile would also be a beautiful project, we hope they bring it someday.
Been playing every night for a year straight and was nearly ready to move on until the recent update made the graphics and gameplay so much better (still need to fix the garage glitch, most of ours only let 2-3 cars in storage). What a game.
This game needs to get the cheats back on but overall its a great game js would be nice if it had the option to put in cheat codes.
The game is great and amazing but everytime we try and start the Catalina mission to rob the bank and gets to the escape part its closes our app and makes us redo it and keeps closing. Author see this and fix it please or let us know what we can do to fix it (iPhone 15 plus btw).
Its a good game if u dont have the money for the PS5 Version and good for on the go even on a school bus.
This is one of our favorite games made by Rockstar Games of all time the fact you can play a game that came out on PS2 is insane and that its higher quality and resolution than the console ports its still mind blowing after all this time we wish Rockstar would make a Warriors Mobile port they did Max Payne and Bully we dont understand stand why not and also Red Dead Revolver.
We dont know if anyone else experiences this, but ever since this game has gotten new updates, the npc while driving their car randomly goes like ghost mode or not sure how to call it; it either goes through other npc cars without damaging them or gets stuck underneath and takes a few seconds before it explodes, which also happened to us when Im driving the npc gets stuck underneath and we lose our car, not sure if this happens only to us or anyone. Also, random npc cars can spawn infront of you making you crash, this made driving less fun because your car can get randomly stuck with an npc and make both cars explode. We also noticed that the gang members when you make them join you, they dont follow you anymore and get sidetracked, which makes taking over other gangs a little harder because you cant control them anymore, hopefully this gets fixed to make the game better and run more smoothly.
Can you please fix the game because it keeps freezing then stops then does it agai.
Thank you for adding fps limit remover! This game finally run so smooth.
We want to use r2 button instead A button to run a car or a motorcycle.
Thanks for fixing bugs, that you made, thx for fix traffic and finally stable 120 fps.
Insane idea right You wouldnt do it R*.
