    you guys shouldn't be giving bad reviews to the game yet, of course there are a lot of problems with servers and all but the game is absolutely fantastic when runing smoothly, i hardly had so much fun in a online sandbox game, it's just great fun.

    Absolutely fantastic. A vast improvement over GTA IV multiplayer the additions of missions and robberies keep the experience fresh and the sheer number of purchasable items, ranging from beer and cigarettes to sports cars and apartments always gives the player a reason to chase the big money.

The ability to do masks, hats and glasses on the go is also a welcome addition which should also be included in the single player experience.
    Whilst I am aware of all the issues with servers at the moment this was to be expected, with *R selling double the amount anticipated. People criticising need to understand the technical difficulty with trying to provide an online service for a possible 20 million people all at the same time.
    On another note there has also been concern over the effect micro transactions have in the game. They however whilst the money packs can be used to purchase cars, apartments and clothes etc they can't be used to give a clear advantage in combat as weapons and armour along with car modifications are locked depending on player rank.
    In summary I would highly recommend this game for any fan of online sandbox games or long time fans of the series.    … Expand

    This is a great game which shows promise to deliver more. There are some players who just expect every vehicle and weapon handed to them on a plate, if you can get past that expectation you can enjoy the rewarding experience of earning your first property and super car.

    While the game suffered in the first couple of weeks this was understandable given the amount of copies of the game sold, most issues have been resolved and rockstar are working hard to address the others.

    A mixture between free-roam where you can do what you want; and group missions with a set goal. You can choose to create havoc for other players though the most enjoyment comes from working with other players.

    Rockstar are listening and with future DLC such as heists coming our way I can see people playing this for a long time.    … Expand

    Amazing in Nearly Every Way
    This is almost a good as the singleplayer as of pure quality. Overall it is much better than the campain. Online has a leveling up system that makes you work hard for weapons, a little to hard at first though. I shoulden't have to give 3 hours of gameplay just to get to level 6 to unlock a crappy submachine gun, Despite the slow level ups you can buy apartments    Amazing in Nearly Every Way

Online has a leveling up system that makes you work hard for weapons, a little to hard at first though. I shoulden't have to give 3 hours of gameplay just to get to level 6 to unlock a crappy submachine gun, Despite the slow level ups you can buy apartments and customize your charters appearance. Speaking of the look of your charters the cahrater creater is awfal. You costomize your guy by picking parents and then your grandparents. i think a tradidional carather creater would have been much more effective and simple. Despite of that the cloths you can put a fairly massive of clothes to begin with. Also there is even more clothes coming via free dlc. Yes free dlc. One of the high points of the game is the fact that you can do it all with up to 16 other people. The amount of fun things you can do is absolutely ridiculous.The 16 player count is kinda low for a world of gta’s size. The world you play in is set in San Andreas which is based of of southern california. There are 2 halves the map. The first is Los Santos which is based off of los angeles The second is Blaine county, which consists of wilderness, small towns, and a military base. The map is absolutely massive and blows any other game map out of the water. However over a quarter of it is consisted of untrekable mountains. The map has tons of detail, but you can’t go inside any buildings. The map is indestructible sadly. San Andreas/ Los Santos is a great setpeace for the pure fun of this game.it pushes the 8 year old consoles farther than thought previosly possible Fun is proberly the best word to descirbe this game.

    Despite a few drawbacks this game is absolutely amazing.

    There is a reason why the user score is so low. Many users jumped the gun on their review, and wrote it the day of release.

There were so many issues with the game, that people gave up hope on the game. They figured it wasn't worth it. Along with that, server issues led to thousands of deleted characters, having users need to start all the way from the beginning again. I waited as long as I did to write this because I knew Rockstar would fix all of the issues. Thankfully they did. Now GTA Online is a beautiful and highly enjoyable experience for you and up to 15 friends. You can do everything you can do in single player, and then some. Rockstar really listened to their fans when creating GTA Online, and it is a huge step up from the multi-player in GTA IV. Whether or not you are competing in races, deathmatches, or you are simply doing a designated job for one of the many contactable players (most from single player). You are never left feeling bored while playing GTA Online. Frankly, the only issue I have with the game is how repetitive it is. Rockstar announced that there will be over 700 missions available to play from the start, though after hours of playing, you find yourself playing the same mission over and over and over again. Objects are expensive in GTA Online, at least 30% more expensive than they were in single player. In order to purchase the items you really want, you'll have to end up repeating a lot of missions to make the money required. Making it a drag really. Overall, if you'll only buy GTA V for the online, I wouldn't say that's a bad thing. You'll get your money's worth.… Expand

    This game has been great. The online for the first couple of weeks was glitchy and laggy but since then I havn't had much of a problem. I enjoy playing online just as much as playing the first player experience.

I am a true fan of GTA and this online gameplay has only enriched my already smirk expression. My only hope is that they add the stock exchange program to the online gameplay soon.

    This is the GTA game I've always dreamed of. There are some problems though. At launch the servers were faulty. Also, as you level up in the game, you can get better weapons. That sounds good, but if anyone new joins, they have no chance of leveling up because the dicks on XBOX live (no offence to XBOX Live players, just I've met a lot of **** on XBOX Live) keep killing them unfairly.

    It is almost a game apart from gta v.

    Rockstar stopped updating it on ps3 and 360 a long time ago, but the cones couldn't take it anymore, they were at the limit, so much so that when going very fast the roads and buildings disappeared.

    But it is still sure that it is the most played online game of those consoles because it already had more content than most multiplayer, other multiplayer games launched in 2013 have already closed the servers and that they said was better online.

    It’s been a tough start, but this is the way to go. If they keep polishing the experience and adding content, Los Santos is going to be our home for a long time.
