Description

The Back Page's road to GTA 6 – a borderline-unviable series of playthroughs of older GTA games – continues! You don't need to have revisited San Andreas to enjoy this episode. We give you a nice overview of everything going on in the story and missions. We dig deep into the game's early '90s Californian setting, the ways it pushed the GTA mission formula forwards, and why its Definitive Edition solves many of the original PS2 version's problems.


This week's music is the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas main theme by Michael Hunter.


A few show notes and small corrections: Samuel is wrong about GTA 4 having checkpoints. The Breaking Bad episode referenced is called 'Caballo Sin Nombre', not 'Caballero Sin Nombre'.
