    Amazing game with very enjoyable main characters. There really isn't enough space here to do the game justice. The addition of the on-line mode is also a huge bonus and brings more fun to the party. Graphically stunning and huge world in which to cause havoc in.

    Simply stunning and a perfect reason to delve back into the best game of 2013 or if you didn't own it on PS3 you should get this definitive version. However if you dont like GTA it's not going to change your mind.

    The only game I've got all Achievements for on 360 -AND- Platinum Trophy for on PS4. Despite baffling UI decisions, this game has compelled me to put hundreds of hours into it. An absolutely stunning game.

    I normally don't comment on the reviews others give, because most of the time I think that's pretty lame. But not giving this game the credit it deserves seems very odd in this instance. I played GTAV on PS3 and it was really good considering the age of the hardware. But this is just so much better on PS4 - to the point I think THIS is how it was meant to be played to start with.

    Very good.
    You wont find a game better than this when it comes to sandbox play and open world scenario.
    It's really really good.

    Sure, it's raw and hard. But it has also been slapped with the "mature" rating. Keep your kids away from it.

    Everything is working like a charm, I have never seen sucha well polished game

    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...

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

    GTA is in league of its own. Sheer size of this game is mind blowing. The city is huge. Everything and anything is interactive. Anything that you see in the game you can go and visit. I cannot think of another game that is that impressive. PS4 graphics are beautiful. City looks great in the morning, at night,. All these negative reviews. Get a life.

    Maybe I'm not as nitpicky as everyone else out there, but I am having a great time with this game. Graphics are definitely better than the PS3/360 versions, I think it looks amazing. The updated first person view is fantastic, but could use a little bit of smoothing out...but overall it's solid. I would definitely recommend picking this up!

I loved the game when it came out on the 7th generation hardware (putting in 100 hours of single player playtime and even more for the online portion of the game). After putting the same amount into the 8th generation version can say it still is my one of my favourite Rockstar games.

    Over the years since the game first arrived in 2013, many voices have spoken out about the negative aspects of the title. The confusing character motivation, the muddled plot, the over-abundance of micro transactions in the online portion. I can understand each of these points however, the reason i give this a 10 is because despite these issues i still find myself jumping back into this game to this day, even after several 100 hours of playtime i can still have a great time doing wanted survival runs in single player, or playing the ridiculously constructed custom race courses in the online portion.

    To summarise I feel that this game push the limits for the xbox 360 and ps3, and i think in some aspects not even the majority of ps4 or xbox one games have been able to match it yet.

    Pros:
    - Great value for money
    - Top level graphics for an open world game
    - Much improved controls over prior rockstar entries
    - Strong Online Component that gets regular updates
    - Solid motion capture performances from Steven Ogg, Ned Luke and Shawn Fonteno
    - Much improved mission quality from previous GTA games
    - Varied and impressive track list selection
    - Useful and fun video editor feature
    - Improved graphical performance and additional features over previous generation version e.g. first person mode

Admittedly this time round I was starting to get bored of the story but the gameplay felt great as ever. First-person mode is a nice touch but doesn't add much in the way of immersion, especially when the mocap for the three protagonists is so detailed and smooth and this is primarily why I stick to third-person.

    Antialiasing has improved significantly. I have a 720p television and I'm sure on a 1080p set it would look even crisper. FPS drops unfortunately occur in some of the busier parts of the city if you are driving super fast but this is not a regular occurrence. There is a fair amount of pop-in (sometimes) but nothing terrible, I hardly notice it now.

    The most exciting thing about GTA V is the detail of the world and that is something best left for you to discover yourself. There is so much to do here besides the campaign so you won't be short of activities for many, many hours. I fail to see why Rockstar is pushing GTA Online as heavily as they are. Online is good fun but it lacks all the subtle touches of the main game.    … Expand
