    Having played this on both the Xbox 360 and PS4. I have to admit, this was a much needed upgrade. The new content was a welcome addition, especially after being away from the game for more than a year! To be honest, there is just TOO MUCH to do!! (Which isn't a bad thing, there were just a LOT of updates to multiplayer since March of 2015.)

The new content was a welcome addition, especially after being away from the game for more than a year! To be honest, there is just TOO MUCH to do!! (Which isn't a bad thing, there were just a LOT of updates to multiplayer since March of 2015.)

    GTA Online will suck you in, yet at the same time, I kind of wished they would've addressed the loading times between online matches. The wait is shorter than the 360, but not by a whole lot. To me, it has deterred from me playing it on a regular basis again. Although, a HUGE PLUS for me was that I could transfer my GTA character from a Xbox 360 version to the PS4. (As R* uses their own servers to streamline character data to all platforms.) So I never lost any progress and can continue to enjoy the GTA Online right where I left off!!

    As for the main game, GTAV is a masterpiece!! No question about it! As a fan since GTA III, I've seen the games get bigger and bigger sandboxes each time! Yet they never seem to be short of sand and fun toys to play with! As for the story, I loved it, for the exception of FRANKLIN.

    Why?! Because the other two guys get some type of closure or at least a reasonable conclusion to their stories. I kind of felt Franklin was the centerpiece of the story, with Trevor and Michael being his guidance towards and away from his grip on the world he lived in. Sure, Trevor and Michael have their own stories (which are AMAZING), but there just seemed to be very little attention to fleshing out his character. Hell, I thought CJ's character from GTA Sandreas had more depth than him!! By the end of the game, I felt sorry for Franklin, as he seemed just sad and alone...but maybe that's just me.

    Gameplay wise, GTA is the best its ever been. Driving has been drastically improved. (even though, I overcame the "bad handling" in GTA IV just fine when I played it.) Gunplay still remains tight and has been optimized, but still remains the same outside of the special abilities each character gets. And the world is just massive, with tons of diversions and places to explore.

    My only major complaint, NO FAST TRAVEL in the main game OR GTA Online.

    Outside of that, GTAV is a MUST PLAY for any mature gamer out there!    … Expand

    Fabulous game but at late game it may be turn a bit repetitive. Great graphics, great story, an great open world with much things to do, but i felt that it's missing something to the perfection.

It came out nearing four years ago in 2013, yet it still has millions of players. Rockstar Games are constantly bringing out new updates to the game, such as: stunt races, Deadline etc. etc. In Grand Theft Auto 5, you will be introduced to 3 characters. Michael Townley, Franklin Clinton and Trevor Philipps. You take on massive heists, assassinate targets, and much more in the Grand Theft Auto 5 story mode.

    It was brought to the next generation consoles, and gamers were astonished by the amazing graphics Grand Theft Auto 5 has. It has improved textures and much more. Rockstar has added attention to detail in the game like: oil spilling out of a damaged car, flags moving when a grenade blows up near it, and your characters clothes being wet after coming out of water or in rain.

    Probably the most played feature in Grand Theft Auto 5 is GTA Online. This quite obviously lets you play with other people across the globe and also your friends. It constantly gets updated, and snow is seen at Christmas Time. GTA Online allows people to create their own levels and when published people can play it and earn money from it. After completing something like a heist or a mission you will be rewarded with money and RP. RP is what levels you up in GTA Online, and the more you level up the more stuff you can get. A player can progress all the way to rank 8,000. You can do multiple things with your money such as: buy houses/apartments. You can also buy flashy vehicles and customise them at Los Santos Customs, or some vehicles are able to go to the other mod shop: Benny's Original Motorworks and go full out with the customization options they are given. Players can also buy guns on GTA Online just like in story mode. These guns can be used in free mode, heists, missions, or user created levels that allow them to.

    Overall, Grand Theft Auto 5 is a must buy game on a gamer's list, and if you are still unsure about buying the game you can watch videos of the game from channels on YouTube. I guarantee almost all of the gaming related channels will have at least one video of Grand Theft Auto 5.    … Expand

    Al fin volvemos al gran mapa ''San Andreas'', un mapa extenso, lleno de vida como NPC, el paisaje, autos, etc. En cuanto la historia esta muy buena, aunque no supera al GTA 4.

    Se puede decir algo que no se haya dicho ya. Un género que a mi no me apasiona pero que sin embargo con este título me engancho a la Play como con pocos juegos de la consola. No es el juego que más me ha gustado pero sin embargo es de los más divertidos y muy bien trabajado. Le pongo un 94/100

    What to add. A nice game with an open world. Single-player is great and Online is a lot of good add-ons still being added, for example, Gun Runners or Stunt Race (the old I know but it's great). A large selection of weapons each chooses to be his favorite. Beautiful and fast cars. There is nothing to tell this game is super snort to buy if you think about it. 9/10 IGN

    The biggest issue I have with this game is auto-aim system, which is just too strong and feels like aimbotting. Turning it off in the settings means that your character will still aim at the targets almost instantly, but won't lock the crosshair at them after that. IT would be great if one could turn it off completely, like in the multiplayer.    … Expand

    One of the best PS4-Games ever, the PS3-Version of course too. Unbelievable how much free material Rockstar gives everyone for GTA Online. I don't think there is any game out there that can compete contentwise with GTA V.

    Straight to the point, GTA V story gave me hundreds of hours to play. I’d recommend it highly to any players out there. Story mode 5/5.

    I guess that’s fun for for kids. I know GTA world is supposed to be dangerous, but if GTA 6 is not based on PVE, gonna pass. I hope the 6th part is not made in the millennial sense.

    And not to offend anyone, just that gaming world 20 years ago was so different. If we wanted to PVP at gamehouses, we punched in a coin, not waiting to sucker punch a fellow player.    … Expand

    The only thing that I thought that they could add in the game is to where you could break in to other peoples houses like you could in San Andreas. I loved the customization they added for the cars as I would spend all day doing that. They could've added more customization options to the houses you are eventually going to own. It was a great game, interesting story and great characters.

    Grand Theft Auto V is a really good game, an interesting story and characters, fun open world and funny dialog. I like how grown up this game is and how its not afraid to be controversial, but after a while it does become stale and boring but that's probably because iv'e been playing it since it was released on the PS3 in September 2013. Overall its a ton of fun.

    The game was made in september 17th, 2013 by Rockstar games. The game was multiple awarded as GOTY( Game of the year), and the critic. The game story is about three men, Franklin, Michael and Trevor. The story begins with these men in a bank assault. The assault was successfully, but, one of them died, the escape driver. From there, the story unfolds with varied missions.
    The game was revolutionary in the 3rd person games, with an open world, being influential to other games in the industry. Still today, the game keeps a good fan base around the world with his online mode.
    Despite of being released in 2013, it remains modern until today but the game isn’t recommended for casual gamers because the game configs are too expensive.    … Expand
