Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Parents Guide: Age Rating, Safety & Tips

Recommended age: 18+

Recommended play time: I suggest, for teenagers, no more than an hour a day on weekdays, and two to three hours on weekends and holidays. It's like a long movie where you need to know when to turn off the TV.

Oh, GTA San Andreas... When I first heard about it, I thought it was just a car game. But my oldest son, 15, explained that it’s much more than that. So I sat down to learn a bit, for him and for you, dear parents, because it's important for us to understand what our kids are playing, right?

What is this game

Listen, it's like an interactive action movie, but you're the main director. You play a character named CJ, who returns home to his neighborhood after a long time, and there he gets involved in gangs, crime, corrupt cops... In short, not exactly a game for small kids, huh? There are tons of missions, driving, shooting, and you can just wander around this huge city and do whatever you want, like you're on a guided tour but with much more action.
