Trivia
If you go north of the Military Base in the desert, you can find a body dump.

Goofs
There is an adult store in the Market district of Los Santos with a sign that mentions their large DVD collection. DVDs weren't released until 1997.

Quotes
Big Smoke: [at Cluckin' Bell, during the drive-thru mission] I'll have 2 number nines, a number nine large. A number six with extra dip. A number seven. Two number forty-fives, one with cheese, and a large soda.

Alternate versions
After hidden sex scenes were found in the game, accessible by downloading a mod off the Internet, this game has had its rating moved up to Adult's Only(AO) in the US. It has also been banned in Australia due to the same reason. Both versions are set to be re-released without the hidden sex scenes sometime soon.

10/10

Every GTA is the breaking the records and it every GTA game is the biggest game of its time.

And this is one of them. I want to start with its cons. The graphics wasn't really good at those time. Absolutely it was good but not very good for a GTA. But they have tried to make much much bigger map and they've done. Even now 15 years later this game is playable at mobile phones and with mods. This game is just evolving with its mods. Amazing, unique action game.
