However, while investigating the death, you find that your mom was killed by a rival gang member

Rival "gangs" control portions of the city

Destroy the rival gang's drug-producing laboratories

There is one incredibly fun part, midway through the storyline where in order to gain control of territories you have to provoke (and defend against) opposing gangs

His mother has joined his brother in the afterlife, the alliance has collapsed, and rival gangs threaten to flood the streets with base

Dozens of side missions, besides the main one to complete including taking over rival gang territory, escaping police, a few stealth missions, thefts, shootouts, car chases, burning certain plants, etc

The AI of some of the rival gangs is a little clumsy too, as they will simply start shooting at you if they see your colors, despite the presence of squad cars or bike cops across the street

Now with a story line about a guy named C.J, who is someone who's come back to San Andreas because his mother was killed and the rival gangs have taken over, so he's back to help out and blah blah blah

There are human scumbags trying to survive in a life of crime, not "gangs" fighting like if it was freaking Baghdad

Expect a lot of the word "bitch", and the N word that most black people don't like
