'Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Special Edition' (PS2) Revealed

Rockstar Games is pleased to announce Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Special Edition for the PS2, which will include on DVD The Introduction and Rockstar's debut documentary film, Sunday Driver.

Highlighting the action in the days before the story in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas begins, The Introduction is told from various characters' viewpoints, which are intertwined together to reveal the network of organized crime forces operating throughout the state of San Andreas. Tension builds as threats are carried out, stakes are raised and communication breaks down. In Los Santos, a drive-by shooting in Grove Street Family's territory ignites a series of events to be further explored in the game.

Sunday Driver is an all-access documentary film chronicling the Compton/Watts chapter of California's low rider car club, The Majestics. A cutting edge and uncompromising film, Sunday Driver is an evolution of the Rockstar brand into film. Directed by Carol Strong, the documentary offers an incredible portrait of a community working together to build the ultimate customized vehicles while struggling to legitimize their lifestyle under close scrutiny by the authorities. With an upfront look at the men behind the chrome, Sunday Driver explores the origins of the Majestics' car club and, by using first person interviews, explains what it means to be a Majestic. Dedicated to creating the definitive modified automobile, The Majestics come together to help each other realize their dreams. Rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), Sunday Driver will also be released separately on UMD, a format used by the PSP.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is one of the most admired and popular video games in the world. The title has been hailed by critics for its open-ended gameplay, cinematic script, and epic soundtrack. Time Magazine said, "San Andreas combines the richness of art with the freedom of real life to create something entirely new, totally unclassifiable and really, really, cool," and The Chicago Tribune called it "the masterpiece of its generation."

The Special Edition is the complete Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas experience, and will be in stores on October 18, 2005 and is rated M for Mature by the ESRB.
