Gta 5 is an exciting fun and enjoyable game this is what attracts customers to buy this game as the reviews speak for itself giving a positive response nearly all most everyone the downfall of the game in the review is it is age restricted there are a variety of features you can go on this specific game so you don’t get bored and have a lot of options ranging from the multiplayer saga to the story mode witch you can do missions which in my opinion is very enjoyable this game is in my opinion the best free mode game which is available on consoles the multiplayer saga is very fun as you can connect and play with friends doing exciting missions and or heists also racing and different types of modes in the online special the thing I most about this game is that it is very original compared to other games as the feature that this games has that others don’t it is widely free mode also this game offers different game modes so you do not get bored this comes with updates every few months keeping the customer happy this is a very good aspect for attracting and retaining customers also the features that come with the updates are very enjoyable the main features are new weaponry new missions new vehicles and aircraft's etc. this will keep the player interested as it isn’t the boring old game modes and same thing all the time keeping it fun.

The story itself was very engaging, I had to go back and play it twice as it was just thoroughly enjoyable. The online aspect appealed in a way to me however with all the extra bits added onto it and nothing more to do with the story which was perhaps the best selling point of it, this is the only reason I give it a 9 instead of a 10. One of the most anticipated games of the year for a reason. Moreover the game play side of it and the freedom the play gets is unlike any other game I have played. You can simply go off track of the story, act like a normal person driving around Los Santos, or become a villain and do whatever the hell you want. I loved this game. Expand

    Michael is just a typical middle aged American **** whores and boozing, very boring character. The guns were mediocre but got better after several updates.
    The map is really big and nice compared to GTA IV, the driving is also superior, the way cars had a tendency to slide in GTA IV was pretty much unrealistic and then I see people saying it was realistic, they've never driven a car before in their lives. Now to the thing that people actually care about:

    GTA ONLINE

    At the beginning(October 2013), it was pretty much boring, fun but boring. Rockstar supporting their fanbase by fixing bugs/glitches and giving them a free update with free content about every month was truly amazing. When modders started to appear out of literally nowhere, that's when GTA Online started to decline when it comes to fun. Everybody was getting cash given by modders, everybody had the money to by everything and then Rockstar came witht he ban wave, which pretty much wiped out a lot of modders, which was a good thing, took innocent players money and left them with only 500k, I had 3million legit and they left me 500k, and people got pissed off at Rockstar, which isn't justified at all. I understand Rockstar completely. The promised Heist update for GTA Online came in my opinion at the perfect timing when I upgraded from PS3 to PS4 and got right into it, though they did push it back by about a year. Even the GTA Online trailer from Agust 2013 mentioned heists, which took about 1 1/2 year to get released. Overall good game when it comes to Online, boring repetitive game when it comes to the Story Mode. The game has been out for half a decade now and people are still playing like crazy, it's truly amazing. I personally quit about 2-3 months ago because it got tiring after 5 years of consistant playing. Now as of September 2018 I wouldn't recommend anyone getting it for the simple fact that it's about to become a desert and be overshadowed by Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2, which I will not be getting, since I don't like old style games, a lot of people may think the same and continue to play GTA Online, you can jump in anytime, I just don't recommend to anymore, you're too late to the party big man, about 3 years too late.

    Takes everything GTA is good at and improves on it. The gameplay, missions, graphics - everything feels like the culmination of GTA's strong points in to the perfect GTA. But it just gets boring pretty quickly because it is essentially just exactly the same gameplay as the other GTAs...

    GTA V, y su version PS4, sin lugar a dudas un diferencia considerable en su version PS3, Rockstar no decepciona as always, lo supo hacer, innovacion en su jugabilidad ahora hasta 3 personajes jugables, que pueden cohexistir en el mismo plano, misiones que se desarrollan entre los tres, tres historias diferentes, desde diferentes perspectivas, 3 ciudadanos clasicos de EU, muy buen juego.GTA V, y su version PS4, sin lugar a dudas un diferencia considerable en su version PS3, Rockstar no decepciona as always, lo supo hacer, innovacion en su jugabilidad ahora hasta 3 personajes jugables, que pueden cohexistir en el mismo plano, misiones que se desarrollan entre los tres, tres historias diferentes, desde diferentes perspectivas, 3 ciudadanos clasicos de EU, muy buen juego.
    Calificare unicamente su apartado offline, ya que el online no me interesa.
    Historia 10/10 aunque para mi fue demasiado corta.
    Misiones secundarias a la altura muy bien hechas y pensadas, contenido secundario abundante.
    Banda sonora, muy bueno , me gusto, no es su fuerte pero se agradece.
    Jugabilidad, muy bueno,
    Una exploracion del mapa excelente, montañas, lagos, el mar, los aires, asombrosos.
    ahora explico por que la nota:
    Lo malo:
    Juego de generacion anterior, rockstar se aprovecha de esto con tal de seguir obteniendo mas $$, nos quedaremos con las ganas de un GTA para la actual generacion.
    La historia principal demasiado corta.
    Lo bueno:
    Contenido secundario en excelente calidad.
    Graficamente se notan los cambios de su version para PS3, se agradece que no sea un simple port.
    La historia principal fue muy buena, los atracos muy bien planeados, y el mejor personaje de todos trevol. :D

    EN MI OPINION PERSONAL GRAN TITULO MERECE LA PENA JUGARLO, MAS EN SU VERSION DE PC Y LA CANTIDAD DE MODS QUE HAY, POR MENOS DE $30.00, PERO EL MEJOR SERA GTA VICE CITY Y SAN ANDREAS.

    Saludos.

    I never got to play it on the PS3 because of how close it was to the PS4 release date. A pretty good story in GTA5 but unfortunately not many people will play the story and will jump right into multiplayer though the multiplayer is also good. The major (+) is that the multiplayer new DLCs are always free which is a great thing to have. I just wish there was a single player DLC

    Très bon jeu ! J'ai été impressionné par le grand monde ouvert que je pouvais explorer. Le jeu est hyper drôle et certaines missions sont assez spectaculaires. Toutefois, il me semble que ce jeu est sur-évalué...Je ne comprends pas la moyenne de 97...Malgré tous ses côtés positifs, j'ai moins apprécié certains éléments:
    1. Je trouve parfois que les contrôles ne sont pas "user-friendly"

    1. Je trouve parfois que les contrôles ne sont pas "user-friendly" notamment lors de poursuites en véhicule
    2. Peut-être que je suis vraiment mauvais mais je n'ai jamais été capable de bien piloter un avion...J'ai du passer plusieurs missions

    Voilà, le jeu reste super et mérite au moins 8/10. Je le recommande fortement et en plus, vous en aurez pour un bon 60 heures de gameplay !

    I love this game. The graphics are amazing, even when they are several years old and the story is pretty good, even though it can't really decide if it wants to be a drama or a comedy story. I especially like to fly the jets and skydive!

Now onto the story mode: As for the story It wasn't as good to me as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City's but it was better than the fourth game if you ask me and I do appreciate the satire. Expand

    When Grand Theft Auto V launched it became apparent that this game was a sequel, but also a spiritual successor to games like Red Dead Redemption. It has familiarities, and some new additions.

    Graphically the game is beautiful, though it did not shine as bright when it released on the PS3 first a year earlier. On the PS4 however it shows its colors best. While the city of Los Santos, cars and nature can look stunning at times, the game shows its age when you take a closer look at buildings and draw distances.

    The gunplay while manouvering through bullet storms feels excellent. The cover system works well, and shooting while choosing where to hit your target feels satisfying. Cars handle much better compared to previous GTA games, and the customizing offers a lot of choice for plenty of cars. Some cars however offer surprisingly little choice.

    The story is excellent, with well defined characters. However, it is hard to connect to three characters who all seem to have plenty of money to make decent living, yet pretend their problems are bigger than those of previous GTA protagonists like Niko Bellic and Carl Johnson. The Switching between characters is a lot of fun.

    The game offers Heists which are very fun individually. However, these seem to be few in number for a game that markets itself on this content. Strangers and Freaks missions are a lot of fun. There are not many entertainment options compared to GTA IV, as it comes done to tennis, golf, darts and a strip club. This disappointed me, as it really needs a wide varierity of options considering the world is so big.

    GTA Online: This portion of the game is of a significantly lower quality than the single player portion. At launch the game barely functioned, and a month later it game apparent how basic the online game was. It was built around levelling, grinding for money to buy verhicles, rince and repeat. This of course was enjoyable for a while because of the large amount of content you could do with your friends. Over time Rockstar added more content, but this was built around making players grind even more to make buying shark cards look tempting. It became less about quality, and more about making money.

    I like how vast and full of things to do the world is, I like the 3 character system, and i also like the realism the game offers. The car driving mechanics are better than some racing games. But still all the game does is add more stuff and improve graphics, its all it did over vice city. So i will give this and Vice

    So i will give this and Vice city the same score because i dont think after all those years it did much to deserve higher than it.

    Worth playing, a good game.

    A bit higher than vice city due to the huge world and many additional cool stuff to do.

    This is undoubtedly a masterpiece although the 1) current day setting and 2) criminal game genre has never been my type. I would give it a 7 due to its not my type. But I dedicate 1 point to Trever for one of the best character in gaming. Trever is one of the best gaming character of all time
