As well as box set similar to the one it released alongside Vice City, however, Rockstar is putting out a double CD that includes a particularly enticing exclusive bonus. It happened with Vice City, and it's happening now with San Andreas. Hence the company's decision to release the soundtracks as retail products.

Logic would dictate that it costs money to bring all of this to be, and as such, it's natural that Rockstar would want some of its investment back. If you need proof, simply look at how extensive the playlists for the in-game radio stations are, not to mention the caliber of the celebrities they chose to voice the DJs. Weapons in italics can be dual-wielded.Rockstar makes a big deal out of the GTA series' soundtracks. Here is a list of the available weapon slots, and the weapons that can be used in those slots. This allows the player to inflict twice the amount of damage per reload cycle. These weapons are light enough and feature reloading that is compatible with holding one in each hand. The second new feature is the ability to duel-wield several weapons (Pistol, Tec9 Micro uzi, Sawnoff shotguns) after reaching hitman weapon skill level. The smart aim feature is available on every weapon except the Rifle, the Sniper Rifle, projectiles, or any of the heavy weapons. Green progresses to orange, which progresses to red, and finally black upon the target's death. Another key feature of smart aim is the targeting lock that changes color as the target's health decreases. Furthermore, when multiple targets are within range, smart aim selects the closest target first. Smart aiming is an improvement upon the auto-aim available in previous games where the computer will cycle between auto-aim and manual aim, depending upon the proximity of possible targets.

The range is determined by the type of weapon and the player's proficiency with that weapon ( Weapon Skill stat).

Smart aim involves computer-assisted auto-aiming, which occurs when pedestrian targets are within the weapon's range. There are also two key improvements in weapon handling, as compared to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City: smart aiming and dual-weapon wielding. A particularly useful addition is the silenced pistol, which is perfect for stealth maneuvering (another new feature), as it attracts less attention. Some weapons have returned from previous games, while some are additions available only in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (and later Grand Theft Auto IV). Weapons in GTA San Andreas are a principal aspect of the game.
