The story is centred on the heist sequences, and many missions involve shooting and driving gameplay. Players control the protagonists throughout single-player and switch among them, both during and outside missions. The game world is navigated on foot and by vehicle, from either a third-person or first-person perspective. Players freely roam San Andreas's open world countryside and fictional city of Los Santos, based on Los Angeles. Set within the fictional state of San Andreas, based on Southern California, the single-player story follows three protagonists-retired bank robber Michael De Santa ( Ned Luke), street gangster Franklin Clinton ( Shawn Fonteno), and drug dealer and gunrunner Trevor Philips ( Steven Ogg), and their attempts to commit heists while under pressure from a corrupt government agency and powerful criminals. It is the seventh main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, following 2008's Grand Theft Auto IV, and the fifteenth instalment overall. Grand Theft Auto V is a 2013 action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games.
