The game has received widespread acclaim for its technical achievements and free gameplay. However, it also received widespread criticism - initially due to its "gangster" elements, which include drugs, prostitution, and murder; but later due to the discovery of disabled interactive sex scenes, nicknamed [[Hot Coffee]], which could be re-enabled using third-party mods. This led to the re-rating by the [[ESRB]] of the game from Mature to Adults-Only until a second version, with the sex scenes fully removed, was released. | The game has received widespread acclaim for its technical achievements and free gameplay.

* Famous author [[wp:Stephen King|Stephen King]] mentioned Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas while speaking out against HB 1423, a bill pending in the Massachusetts state legislature that would restrict or ban the sale of violent video games to anyone under the age of 18. King stated at one point: "''...it would forbid a 17-year-old, legally able to see [[wp:Hostel: Part II|Hostel: Part II]], from buying or renting Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which is violent but less graphic...''" King also opined that such games reflect the violence that already exists in society, which would not be lessened by such a law, and would be redundant in light of the ratings system that already exists for video games. | * Famous author [[wp:Stephen King|Stephen King]] mentioned Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas while speaking out against HB 1423, a bill pending in the Massachusetts state legislature that would restrict or ban the sale of violent video games to anyone under the age of 18.
