Unconfirmed rumours currently doing the interweb rounds strongly suggest that GTA: San Andreas will feature a two-player mode - the first time a game in the GTA series has offered multiplayer support.
Whether such a mode would be based around vs or (as seems more likely) cooperative gameplay remains to be seen, as does whether it would be split-screen, feature two playable characters on a single screen or even require two PS2s to be linked up.
Rockstar were unavailable for comment at the time of writing and members of the games press who have actually played San Andreas have been signed up to watertight NDAs, so we may not actually find out whether the game includes a two-player mode or not until it's released. As soon as we have more on this story though, we'll let you know.

Well, if thats true then I cant wait!
The PS2's gonna be suffering massive internal bleeding just loading 1 city, let alone 2 at the same time.
Other than that, this is probably the only feature that's raised an eyebrow here. Although, with the rest, I don't quite see how they'll make it work to any level of fun.
Just along as they don't make it like the terrible 2-player shiz in Driver 2.
It's a nicer step towards the real GTA - online. Which will probably come next.
