    This game is fantastic! it's the culmination of every Grand Theft Auto game before it. A must play if you are a fan of sandbox or any of the previous GTA's.

    No entiendo por que ningún madrileño en esta página...pero al tema...este es un claro juegazo con una primera persona increiblemente diseñada,gráficos realistas,buenas misiones del modo historia,online prácticamente insuperable. Y lo más importante es que ofrece cientos de horas de diversión.
    P.S:Espero que alguna criaturita lea esto

    Awesome game, much improved from GTA IV. Didn't like the sound of being three characters at first, but it actually works really well. The story line is interesting and GTA online is very good now that it works.

    Great work R*. The extra additions to the game have made it well worth coming back for. Easily one of the best titles on the PS4. I found myself stopping my car to get out and just check out the new updated graphics. The grass looks amazing. The view distance is so much better! Great Work!

    GTAV is the best game I've played on the PS4 so far. Why? Well everybody knows what this game is. It's an open-world sandbox game filled with so many activities and is not afraid of letting you do what you want to do. You can go anywhere and do whatever you like unlike many other games that claim to be open-world but really aren't such as The Witcher 3, Dragon Age, MGSV etc...

    I didn't bother with the single player mode because it somehow feels heavily scripted and linear, which I feel confining and restrictive in an open-world game. If this was a single player only game this will score very low. The 3 characters are unlikable and you can't relate to any of them let alone care about their lives and story. Spent about 2 hours and gave up. Jumped straight into online mode. And omg online mode where the game shines.

    You create your character and basically do activities to earn money to buy cars, apartments, clothing among other stuff. There's lots of missions available, or activities such as team deathmatch, races, capture the flag and many more. You also have heists, vip activities etc. Now imagine all this activities being played out with other actual online players and friends. That's the beauty of it. Or if you like, just mess around in freeroam in 30-player lobbies (which is what I like to do with my friends).

    The online mode is being updated on a regular basis and you get new stuff to buy or new activities as time goes by. So much to say but I think you get the overall picture. It's an awesome game and I'm having a blast playing it almost every night. Rockstar, GTA6 doesn't need story mode, just focus on online and give us an even more epic awesome online game EVERRR!!!!!! Perfect score (based on online play) 10 out of 10. Bravo!!    … Expand

    As if we were expecting anything more than a sheer masterpiece, Rockstar has managed to recreate 2013's Grand Theft Auto V with stunning visuals, a reinvented first person mode, and loads more to do. My only issues come from minor, minor drops in framerate in large areas, and driving in first person mode being a little stiff.

Sometimes you will find yourself driving in highway through the desert listening to your favorite radio station, chasing UFOS, customizing your favorite car, enjoying a private dance in a nightclub, killing enemies or just might happen to be in a beach at night and met a cool guy playing some beautiful chords with his guitar. Its really big game.

    Graphics, sound and presentation are superb.

    The story mode starts really well, but gets repetitive after a while. Pace is a problem, since there are so many different plots, and the game don't let you choose where you will focus your attention. Its not easy to get involved in what is going on.

    Some of the games controls are also problematic, specially when we talk about airplanes and helicopters, sometimes you will spend a good amount of time trying to not crash your plane while landing. Gun fights rely heavily on auto aim.

    Online mode is pointless and is a stripped down version of the whole thing.

    Despite pace problems with the main story, Trevor, Franklin and Michael are easily one of the most remarkable characters ever seen in a video game, even if you don't like some of them.

    Rockstar games also deserves credits for creating truly new experience on PS4. The new graphics are more than just better textures. Its unbelievable how detailed this world is. PS4 is yet to see a better looking game.

    The addition of new Vehicles,Guns and Songs also keeps you interested if you already played hours of GTA5 on PS3/360.
    Grand Theft Auto Online on the other hand has been difficult and frustrating, lots of time spent in loading screens and disconnecting from friends/Jobs. Many people have been unable to even play GTA:Online and the methods of fixing the problem is well over the head of an average gamer and need to be address by Rockstar.
    Altogether GTA 5 is just as good when it was on last gen, put aside the technical issues that hopefully are fixed soon and you have an extremely fun and enjoyable game.    … Expand

    GTA 5 has received some excellent next generation treatment, especially where the graphics and FPS mode are concerned. However, don't expect anything mind blowing.

    It is so much more than just run and gun waves of cops. You can do that, but there is much more interaction with the world that can't be seen in other games. There is detail in every place you go, and on next gen it adds even more detail. This game is worth a buy at full retail price.

    Grand Theft Auto V was the best game of 2013 for past-gen consoles, now with this new version of GTA V, Rockstar Games shows that they are the best in the business.

The game has so much things to do. The story is very entertaining all most of the time. The times that i found boring were mostly Trevor missions, i personally found them uninteresting compared to Franklin's missions and Michael's missions. Personally i find Franklin to be my favorite character. Even though the characters are meant to be dislikable to a degree, i find Franklin to be more of a character that I enjoy. The side characters that you will meet throughout your journey are also very interesting and i tended to spend a lot of time learning more about them. The gunfights are great in the game. The driving mechanics are some of the best in gaming and there is so much to do. This game is worth full price any day. I don't think it is worth it if you just care about the multiplayer, the multiplayer is honestly the weakest part of the game and i tend to spend most of my time in the singleplayer. The improvements from the ps3 to the ps4 are quite remarkable. The game is beautiful. Everything in the world is detailed and vibrant, The colors are right on point and the framerate stays respectable throughout the game. I would have preferred if the developers worked more to get the game sixty frames per second instead of making it 1080p. But i still think the solid 30 frames per second frame lock is fine. The story that the game tells may not be original in the slightest but it sure does manage to tell the story well. The Trevor sections felt less inspired compared to the rest of the game. He felt like he was in the game just to give the famous Grand Theft Auto rampages more of a plot behind it. During the story you will encounter heists and they are lots of fun. Online have been added but at this point in time while writing the review, i have been unable to access the Rockstar servers. The heists seem to be similar to what the singleplayer offers which is a great thing if you enjoyed them like i did. The online community tends to have ruined the experience for me many times. I am not saying that everyone there is bad but from my experiences most people tend to just shoot other people on sight which is understandable for an online for a game like Grand Theft Auto. The gamemodes available in the multiplayer all feel fun and add so much variety to the game. The game is filled with content that some people could take as offensive. I personally was fine with it because i see it just as a work of art that is not afraid to be uncensored. There is not really a way to avoid the offensive content in the game which could make some players avoid the title. The only time i had trouble with some of the scenes were in one mission that involved torturing a man to get information out of him. Some of the scenes of torture that you controlled were hard to watch at times. If you like singleplayer focused games and games with large open worlds. This game was meant for you. It is definitely worth the current cost of 60 dollars and you probably wont regret your purchase because of the amount of high quality content that is included in the game.… Expand

    A huge improvement over its last gen counterpart. I would highly recommend you try it out if you found the game to be disappointing on last gen much like I did. Higher player count in GTA online and boosted textures/performance make for a more realised and achieved experience than the previous versions.

    GTA V is next to San Andreas the best in the series. The three characters add a depth of storytelling we have never seen in a GTA game before.

The three characters add a depth of storytelling we have never seen in a GTA game before. Each characters story will appeal to different people and you will have a favourite by the end. Michael is the ex-gangster come family man who can’t escape the life of crime. Franklin is a black street gangster from the hood who wants better things but keeps a serious head about him and Trevor is the all-out psychopath who is funny and has a lot more under the surface. Each story arc unfolds beautifully through great cut scenes and some of the best missions I've played in a GTA game.

    The heists are particularly impressive. You have to choose how to complete a heist, then gather the correct equipment for example stealing a submarine and gathering intel before undertaking the heist which will involve swapping between all three major protagonists. Missions are varied and I never got bored playing, when the game ended a wanted more which is a good sign considering I'd been playing for around 50+ hours which included messing around and some side quests.

    The map is impressive, highly detailed and well designed, the different locations are all beautiful in their own right. The vehicles look and feel awesome and all have a unique feel when driving.

    The graphics are a massive improvement over the ps3 version and more detail has been added. The first person view adds an element of freshness but is a slight gimmick as I preferred playing in 3rd person, but this is not a complaint as it's a nice additional feature. I liked switching to 1st person view in Helicopters for some reason, it just felt right.

    The soundtrack is awesome as usual with many different genres to suit your mood. The radio and TV shows are hilarious and a joy to listen to while cruising around.

    If you have not played GTA V yet I would highly recommend it. If you've played the ps3 version I'd say it is still worth picking up as the game is so well made and detailed. All in all a fantastic and memorable experience.    … Expand

    I have spent hours, days, even weeks playing this game online. It is incredible fun. Using a virtual version of yourself to run riot around LS is an incredible feeling, and being able to team up with your friends is even better. The only let down, and not a fault of the game but rather the users of the game, is the ability to play heists. You can connect to a game, watch the cut scene and somebody will drop out, subsequently ending the mission. This doesn't alter how much I have enjoyed the game though at all.

    I was skeptical about the online mode at first when playing on PS3, but the PS4 copes with it much better, as well as allowing twice the people in one session. Playing tennis or golf with an online friend is a great laugh, and even cruising in a friend's car is somewhat relaxing.

    Technical stuff now. Graphics have been given a drastic overhaul, though it's only evident when you go back to PS3 after playing the PS4 version. Draw distances are better, weather effects are greatly improved and the cars and environments look hugely improved. The crack on Trevor's phone is a small detail I particularly like. Car interiors are not so pleasing on the eye, but it doesn't really detract from the overall experience of the game. At the moment, it is the game to end all games.    … Expand

That is why it is somewhat perplexing that there are some very noticeable problems that seem like they would be well-within Rockstar's capacity to have handled better.

    Grand Theft Auto V has strong strengths, like superb animation and graphics, great voice acting, entertaining characters, clever dialogue (and lots of it), good ole' dark humor, a vast and detailed open world that is a joy to explore, and a plethora of small details and features that make it the best GTA game yet to grace out gaming systems.

    However, it could be that this unprecedented attention to detail came at the expense of other, at least equally important components. The story, despite having a strong concept, is very poorly handled. It has noticeable pacing issues and a severe problem deciding which antagonists to focus on. Simply, the plot has a dangerously crowded group of antagonists with too little context put to any of them. There are about eight different antagonists in the main story, and all of them get negligible context put into them. During my playthrough, I often forgot who the bad guys were and was only reminded when they randomly showed up. This is a critical failure that deals a pretty huge blow to the story. In general, the plot is a crammed and disjointed mess that doesn't seem to know what it wants to be.

    GTAV is a very fun experience with lots of value. It has the most detail of any open-world game its size, and that is truly this game's greatest strength. It has funny dialogue, entertaining characters, very high production values and lots of GTA-style fun to be soaked up. It is just such a shame that it is marred by an especially poor written story.    … Expand

    Rockstar are genius, they have brought a new way to play this game and it really works. The graphics are superb. The characters are even better the second time round and I can't fault this game even if I wanted to.

    The tiny little touches in the game really make it what it is, if you need proof, go onto youtube and search for them. The attention to detail is mesmerising.

    I'm now 20 hours in on PS4, I had already finished the game on PS3, and the first thing to say is that the First-person mode changes everything. They didn't just add a camera angle, they created many animations, it's a real first-person mode, and it's well done.    This is the review of someone who bought it on PS3, and again on PS4.

They didn't just add a camera angle, they created many animations, it's a real first-person mode, and it's well done. Playing the storyline in first person is a whole new experience. The story hasn't changed but we were aware of that.

    There are more cars, more animals (including cats and dogs), but only in singleplayer mode. The online mode loads faster, there are 30 people on it, and it runs smooth. The graphics could be better but let's be honest, we're talking about a huge open world game, no loading screen when you enter a building, tons of npc's, tons of little details, and new easter eggs (check the peyotl plants).

    Another good point nowadays : Rockstar. They learned from the online launch fiasco, there were some problems the first day but everything is gone now, They really solve your problems, with that little extra (I had not received my 500.000 cash bonus, they solved it in 3 days and added 200.000 GTA$ for the inconvenience. What else ?

    This is just how a game comapny should behave. No DLC's but free updates and new content during the whole year, and comprehensive support team. 10/10

    Most of the negative reviews are coming from the "PC master race", and they haven't played it yet, so there you go. I'm sure they'll do amazing mods but they need to calm down on the console reviews. If you haven't played it yet, go for it, you won't be disappointed. If you already played it, I would say it depends on how you feel with the first-person experience.    … Expand

    Things good about GTA 5:
    1. The story line is amazing and uses all of the characters perfectly!
    2. The graphics are stunning and beautiful.
    3. The Driving, boating, flying, and skydiving are all amazing things.
    There are more things good, but too much to list!
    Some of the bad things about it:
    1. *spoilers* In the newer consoles you can play as animals, which I don't like... that you can't in the older consoles
    2. There servers aren't very good via connections, but they are pretty good.
    There is more like I said, but this is all right now.

    This game is amazing, so much to do, first person mode changes the game and makes gun play missions loads of fun. scored a 9 and not 10 because the loading screens take forever, when changing a mission to freeplay on GTA Online you wait for what seems an eternity for the game to load. Once it has eventually loaded you're treated to probably the best game ever made.

    Conclusion: You should probably get this version of the game if you haven't played a GTA game before, don't own a pc, xbox360, or ps3, and already have gotten the much better games for your system (such as The Witcher 3 and Bloodborne).    … Expand

    Ok...just so you know - I came late to the game. After Vice City and Liberty City for the PSP - I was done with GTA. I was "tired" of the same ol' same ol' repetition this game brought to the table. The controls were always BAD!!! I totally overlooked 4 and never thought twice about 5 on the PS3. However, all I heard about was how great GTA5 was?!?! Well, since it came with the Last of UsOk...just so you know - I came late to the game. After Vice City and Liberty City for the PSP - I was done with GTA. I was "tired" of the same ol' same ol' repetition this game brought to the table. The controls were always BAD!!! I totally overlooked 4 and never thought twice about 5 on the PS3. However, all I heard about was how great GTA5 was?!?! Well, since it came with the Last of Us (which I loved on the PS3 - yet to play on the 4) in the bundle - I figured I would give it a shot - holy crap!!!! Talk about a whole lot of bang for your buck!!!

    Since I have no true comparison to compare it to besides the turd burglars I had played in the past, I think I have had more FUN playing this game than most others in a long time. The replay value is just crazy - I love all the little side games. From playing golf to tennis to more of the true to story side games - this game has just about everything you could want in an adult, over-the-top video game experience!

    Like I said, I didn't play GTA5 on the PS3 - so, if it's REALLY true that the graphics aren't any better than it was on the PS3, then that had to be the most amazing game EVER for the PS3 - easy. Reason being, the open world envirnment and attention to detail with a almost "existing on its own" AI world, I can't see what the complaint is about? If you already played this game on the previous console and are/were expecting something else - you are delusional. Why would you play something on the previous console and expect MORE? Also, why would you complain about how many different versions they release of it? Look at me - I never played GTA5 on the PS3 - and I freakin' think it is a blast!

    The story is very amusing - definitely not a kid's game - and no, don't start coming down on it about the characters and and all of that - they are written and performed at a very high level. The heists and side games - switching from the different characters and so on is actually fun to do. Do yourself a favor if you haven't played this game yet and play it. Yeah, the controls are still CRAPPY - especially shooting while driving - but other than that it rocks!!!    … Expand

    The first game I purchased with my PS4, GTA V is a gripping, fun, action paced title that will leave other games gathering dust on your shelf. The Graphics are crisp and clear and the characters somehow feel real - you get to know them all individually as the story progresses. If you're a fan of previous titles then you'll love this. If you aren't then this may be the one to convert you.

    Grand theft auto V is a great game for game-play, longevity and content. Rockstar have a decent sense of humour, but they may have saturated this game with clichés. The game is a great improvement on the series, and the improvement from last generation is clear -- I love the addition of first person. However, this game is controversial. I would recommend it on value for money grounds.

I was a little worried about that because I often thought companies gave their games that were struggling a little more than the others in their bundles. I was wrong to that think that.

    This game, as the others is a great success. If you love GTA, you'll love this game. It has everything a GTA fan would want plus more. If you're looking for something new and unique to the series though? I can't say this game offers that. Might been what kept be from giving it a ten. While I love the game, I wish it had something that made it better stand out among it's previous games. Yes the story is obviously unique and stuff... But I don't know. I guess I'm just into games that are willing to take a chance and try something new here and there.

    Anyways, I'd 100% recommend this game to everyone. Hope this helped!    … Expand

    I don't think I really need to say much about this game, if you're a GTA fan I highly suggest looking into this one. The single player campaign is fulfilling, but the online play is what gets me coming back for more, online has a bunch of different game modes, and they are done really well, plus you can make your own deathmatches and races. Great game in my opinion.

It is a bit of a letdown to return to Los Santos, but regardless of this fact, it is still manages to take the immersion to a whole other level with the attention to detail all from the highest peak to the lowest trench in the ocean. While the car handling is phenomenal - all cars have different handling and feel representative of the type of car, trying to drive and shoot is simply horrendous and ultimately left me resorting to ramming cars and running over people.

    The biggest letdown was the first person mode. I get what it was aiming for - a realistic approach, but despite this, I felt disoriented when I attempted to play wit h it. With the type of player control you have for GTA overall, third person is much more suited and flows much better.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let's just cut to the chase

    Pros:

    The open world is probably the most open world I have seen ever in a game, ranging from large city areas to the country side to a big a** mountain you can drive a bike down and never survive.

    The story is quite good. Three main characters with different abilities and different lives somehow manage to brilliantly join together and make a great story of robbing banks and drinking alcohol..

    Don't care about story? No matter, the missions are still absolutely stupendous even if you don't care about the dialogue in between. They start off slow showing you the basics of the game but eventually lead into you being surrounded by N.O.O.S.E after robbing a bank.

    Finishing the main story is literally only half (54%~) of what the single player has to offer. One you finish, why not go rob some convenience stores, participate in a triathlon, or go buy all of those beautiful cars that are just waiting to be driven. And smashed. Maybe blown up. Whatever floats your boat.

    GTA Online provides an AMAZING Open World, MMO involving experience. Whilst at first it may be a bit hard to get into, you'll soon find yourself going around and sticky-bombing everyone in sight and blowing them up. And better yet, there are many heists you can perform in to earn thousands, even millions, in.

    Don't have time to grind for cash in GTA Online? Got some real cash lying around? Why not buy some Shark Cards to get a few million instantly. While some may consider micro-transactions a downside, it isn't hard to get money without them and also helps make sure any DLC is and remains completely free.

    PS4 and Xbox One versions run on a beautiful 1080p resolution.

    Cheats. 'Nuff Said.

    Cons:

    Controls can feel like your a tank sometimes, though not too often.

    Whenever a new GTA Online (free) DLC comes out, expect some server issues for a day or two.

    If you aren't careful, some characters can be unusable in the Story Mode by the end (Not a glitch, ties in with the story). I suggest looking up how to prevent this, or keeping a save handy right before the (kind-of) final mission.

    "Next-Gen" versions don't add a large amount of new stuff compared to what the "last-gen" versions have and are getting. (Don't get me wrong, the first person is awesome and all, but another $60? Hmm, maybe not). If you haven't paid for the older versions, then you're good to go. If you don't mind re-buying the game, then that's fine too. I personally bought the game because of the 1080p graphics (call me a graphics whore)

    The game only runs at 30 FPS. If you aren't a "graphics whore" then this won't bother you, but some may see the difference than say, Battlefield 4 at 60 FPS and this at 30. (I think BF4 is at 60FPS... Haven't played it)

    Final Thoughts: GTA V itself is amazing. Nothing comes close. While the PS4 and Xbox One versions may not add too much new content, being on the latest generation of consoles may be a safe bet in case last-gen gets unsupported. The story in the game is good if you care, but if you don't, no need to fret as the amazing missions will be enough to tie you over for the whole game. And to top it all off, you get this amazing open world with so many places to explore.

    GTA Online is an amazing expansion to the game, and while you may experience and issue or two here and there, these issues are very easy to get over and you will end up having a lot of fun. And while some may consider Hard to Soft currency conversions a downside, it helps keep all of the GTA online DLC free and make sure the GTA Online community doesn't get divided by who and who doesn't have this or that DLC.

    I have decided to give GTA V + GTA Online a 9/10. On paper, the cons may seem like a big deal but once you sit down and play the game all of that just washes away and you become immersed in what this amazing game has to offer.    … Expand

    GTA 5 is a masterpiece. The only things I didnt like about it were the music selection (really need 3 spanish radio?) and the fact a lot of the side missions were missing both in single player and online. I would have liked to see the side missions especially online for something to do in Free Roam. Taxi, ambulance, Police, firefighter, ice cream truck, etc etc.
