 The original _Grand Theft Auto (1998) (VG)_ (qv) included three  cities: Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas. Since the first  two cities were remade for the PS2  (_Grand Theft Auto III (2001) (VG)_ (qv),  _Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002) (VG)_ (qv)), it made sense that  the third city, San Andreas, would be the third game in the PS2  series. This, of course, held a huge role in the ongoing debate on  whether the game would be titled "San Andreas" or "Sin City".
