    It’s just a great game tying to be even better. In some cases it works, in other cases it doesn’t. But, ultimately, if the idea of playing a superior version of one of the best games of all time appeals to you (and why wouldn’t it?) then this is a more than worthy excuse for a double-dip.

    It doesn't matter if it's your first time visiting Los Santos or if you're thinking of booking a return flight, we give GTA V our highest recommendation. This is simply a marvelous game.

    So good that it almost seems deceitful: like a CG trailer of what the highest level of fun might look like. After 17 years, it's incredible that the series still has such power to astound and excite.

    Grand Theft Auto 5 on the new platforms is a great comeback for the already impressive game. The first-person view mode, the enhanced visuals, and the many different smaller alterations transform the game into an even better experience. However, lingering problems with the gameplay and a few visual issues keep it from achieving perfection.

    Rockstar did not have to try hard – GTA V would sell on new consoles even it was the same game as before. It’s hard to underestimate both their ambition and effort to make their latest offering something more than a simple reissue. The new first person view really changes the gameplay and alone is worth your money. [01/2015, p.36]

    The real draw to return to fold, or jump in for the first time if you missed out on GTA V over the course of the last year, lies in the updated graphical prowess current-gen systems hold. Most significantly, the draw distance in this updated version is absolutely outstanding.

    This is more than a “definitive edition”. With all additions and improved visuals that didn’t leave a stone unturned even frequent visitors of past-gens Los Santos will find something that will make their return trip worthwhile. And if you didn’t play it yet: Welcome to open-world heaven.

    Absolutely brilliant game. One of the best games ever made. And I even did not try online mods.

The best GTA now enhanced by the Xbox One is a delight to play. Given that the Original GTAV was close to a 10/10 imo, this version just finalises any doubts in my mind.

    I am very surprised that upon playing 6+ Hours of the game already the framerate was indeed very smooth. Great job by Rockstar, their game developers obviously know how to code video games before release unlike cough cough UBIFAIL.

    Coming from playing ACU last week to this was a real pleasure and I’m glad some game developers still know how to optimize video games.

    Thanks for a great game Rockstar.    … Expand

The characters are very unique from each other and have different skill sets which leads to different performances. However, the story is not quite good and uninteresting. The missions you do as a group is fun for the first time but it gets repetitive as they use the same context again and again. Overall its a great with lots of fun but an uninteresting story.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ah So where do i begin . The #1 ClickBait on youtube game of all time . That not to mention is Super OVERRATED The only reason its a 97 is because of its sales and good story . Regardless the online pratically forces you to make purchases . If you are not working so hard that you have a MASSIVE headache. Yes a good game at first not after 5 years though yes i have played the story twice and i have 2 GTA Online Characters. The memes and stupid is ridicoulous . Yes this is a rant folks if you want a game with great replay ability Go Play Rockstar's Game Bully From 2006 . It did a Way better job and was Way more Interactive. This Game is just Full of Heist Setups A Betrayl Storyline A Bunch of Heist An Actor Storyline A dirtbag rich dude and his private military and sexual content thats not for your kids. Not only does it encourage killing raping and more but it also has cuss words in it. And encourages people to drink . You want to get rid of crime evaporate this game and its done. Still has a boatload of online glitches and mean players as well as trolls ingame voice chat and stupid **** Do not have your kid play this game.… Expand
