    Great Game. 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

    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.

    The updated version of this great game is a delight. The new graphics, slight new additions of vehicles and weapons, and the introduction of first-person mode all combine to make this game as great as it was on the 360. However, this is also the flaw of the game. As enjoyable as first-person mode is, the addition of a new camera-mode should not warrant the game to be sold at £50.

    GTA often has a fun little world to play in, but the controls have always sucked, the loading is abysmal, & getting from the boring main game over to the Online mode is a chore.

    It's a sandbox for morons, & there are more idiots in the world than any others, hence the popularity.

    If you have an I.Q. over 75, this game will frustrate, & bore you

    My best game so far, Rockstar did what they have promised to us before to give a better excitement on their newly released awesome game. For me, because of the open-world feeling it gave me a better view on what I am playing, especially the Enhanced Graphics and Smooth Frame rate. Who wouldn't play this game? ;)

    One of the games that could live up to the hype! This deserves most of the praises it gets and should be played by everyone who's a fan of open world games!

    I never played the previous-gen version, so for me the 60€ price tag was completely justified. I have read on the net about the improvements this version has compared to prev-gen. Aside from the awesome graphics updates the most interesting thing is the first person mode. It is fantastic and it even lets you adjust FOV! On a console! I sincerely hope other game developers implement FOV adjustment to first person games. But I still consider it too steep a price for the people who had it on a 360/PS3 just to get those improvements.

    The story is enjoyable. The thing you would expect GTA to deliver. Missions are interesting and the side quests, strangers and freaks, are a load of fun. I am still to complete the game 100% (I am at about 97%), but I've had so much fun along the way! I'm sure most players will not be "satisfied" with merely completing the main story line and be done with it, but they will want to see more. See the alive world of San Andreas and what does it have to offer. The random encounters make it feel even more immersive whether you're saving a girl from being raped or preventing a robbery. The rural areas are the best to roam freely and you could find something... alien there.

    Trevor is the most intriguing character. He's crazy, he's mad and he doesn't give a damn. While playing as him nothing can be boring. I love his Rampage side missions as well as the main story missions. Michael is interesting in his own way too. He has a lot of family issues and tries to get his life back on track failing at it miserably. Franklin is, in my humble opinion, boring. He's just a young guy from the suburbs who meets a couple of crazy old men. While Franklin and Lamar, his supposedly best friend, are talking, the N word just needs to be in every sentence. Twice.

    Cars behave better than they did on GTA IV and definitely better than in a certain Ubisoft game which was to compete with GTA V. It's a pleasure driving around San Andreas. You can really tell that Rockstar have made an effort to make the vehicles unique as the interiors are crafted beautifully in first person mode and you can really tell the difference whether you're driving a family sedan or an SUV.

    I heard GTA Online had some problems in launch. I bought the game two days after launch but I completed the single player first and when I did try Online it worked like a charm. I'm not really that into it though, since it seems that killing each other mindlessly is more interesting than completing jobs. To each their own I suppose.

    For me this is GOTY of 2014 but since it is a remake, it doesn't really qualify for that prize. I loved the game and continue loving it!

    When this game first came out I thought the only thing good about it was the campaign. They didn't release the heists on time and to make up for it they only gave you 1 million dollars.

They didn't release the heists on time and to make up for it they only gave you 1 million dollars. However, over the years the multiplayer has gotten only better. The heists compared to what you can do now are not worth the time to put in for the money you get. However if you're just looking for good quality fun and not too worried about the money, I suggest doing all 5 heists. If you want to look into getting some good money I would start off with the CEO missions. This will run you quite a bit of money to start up the whole process. To get mine all set up for what I wanted it was a total of 8 million dollars. Do not worry. There are cheaper buildings to buy but it will run you at least 1 million to start it up. After you get your CEO cargo missions available I would do the car missions. They give big payouts when you deliver them to a new owner. You run a risk with the missions though. If you have a bunch of people in your server they will more than likely try to take your car out. I would stick to low populated servers for these missions. If it's the time of day where everyone and their brother is on I suggest the racing. The multiplayer racing is fantastic and a great way to have some good laughs, especially if you play it with friends. The best part is if you just want to mess around and blow stuff up you can still do that too. It's always fun to see how long you can hold yourself against the police.

    I give this game a high review based on the fact that when they finally got everything going with their online multiplayer it has a lot to offer with endless possibilities. This game will not be dead until they bring out a new GTA.

    The game itself is beautiful, not like it wasn't before, but the step into next generation is clear cut. The world goes on forever in fantastic detail, Los Santos is a living breathing city filled with whatever your heart desires.
    First person is an absolutely fantastic addition, not just a novelty, a whole new way to play the Grand Theft Auto franchise (it's came a long way from 'birds eye view')

    For those of you who would have experienced GTA: Online, you would be pleased to know that the character transfer of your old character ($ and RP included) is but a simple and easy transfer. No hassle.

    This game achieves a 10/10 from me only because I simply cannot hold it in a higher regard, it ticks all the boxes and creates new ones while it's at it.
    On the Xbox 360, this was my perfect game.
    On the Xbox One, it's my perfect game, and then some.

    Grand Theft Auto V is by far the best game that Rockstar has released into the series. The vast open-world environment paired with the simply insane gameplay often lead to a very enjoyable experience that not very many other games can offer.
    Dynamic and unique gameplay seems to have been very important in the design of this game, and it certainly shows. Every single time I launch GTA, the experience is new and varied. This is especially helped by the inclusion of three main story characters, which can be switched to at will. Each of these characters is vastly different form one another in personality and abilities, but yet they fit into a much wider and gripping storyline. This is especially shown off in a few of the many story missions, where the three characters can be used seamlessly and as a team to complete a task. Rockstar knows its strengths, which is why literally the first mission in the game fully utilises this mechanic.
    Thankfully, the fun and crazy action of the games missions also transfers into the free-play in between (which you can easily spend hours playing). The large map of Los Santos and Blaine County are perfectly designed to allow the player to do almost anything. Want to fly around in a jet, steal one from the military base (but try not to get shot down); feel like starting a gang war, just rock up and start one. Almost anything that the player can come up with can be achieved so brilliantly in GTA V (which can also be enhanced by the use of cheats that can be inputted). Both the free play and missions of this game have been wonderfully designed, with incredible scenes of action continuously maintained throughout. The new first-person feature has also been included in this version, adding an entirely fresh perspective on the word of GTA.
    In addition to the story mode, Grand Theft Auto has a multiplayer alongside it. This can be switched to at any time, where many, many more options become available. GTA's multiplayer is free roam ramped up to 11, especially with the new larger lobbies that the Xbox One and PC versions of the game offer. After customising your character, you can do missions to earn in game currency, then continue to build your own little empire of illegal warehouses, upgraded vehicles and hangars full of planes. The opportunities are even greater than that of the story mode, but yet it is exactly where the only problem with GTA lies...
    Having owned this game since it first launched, I have personally experience the incredible growth of the Online, as Rockstar add many new (and free) DLC's. These for the most part have been incredible, each becoming more ambitious than the last and expanding the game massively. However, as more and more items are added, they begin to cost more and more of the in-game's currency. This has reached the point now where it quickly becomes a boring grind to even be able to afford the cheapest of the new additions. Of course, Rockstar offer "Shark cards" that can be purchased with real world money and translate into game currency, but this is just adding to the issue, with Rockstar adding more and more expensive items so that they can gain more profits from the game.
    Overall Grand Theft Auto V is a massive success, which has really set a standard for open world games, but soon becomes a grind if you're interested in purchasing the newest items without having to use your real world funds.

This is the first time I look at a game and I feel that we are in a new generation of gaming. Reflections at night are just incredible. I was afraid that I'd hate the driving, because as everyone says it's very arcade. While it's arcade, it is a very good arcade version of driving. It feels great even to me, and I love rally games. I prefer driving in GTA5 over GTA4. The first person view is awesome and I'm using it all the time. I'm really having a hard time finding something that could clearly be improved in this game. Also, it doesn't suffer from noticeable/annoying bugs. One of the best games ever created. Props to Rockstar Games! Expand

I do not often play online as it is normally young boys simply shooting each other....not my cup of tea; and while GTA V doesn't lack for those idiots, Rockstar has both made it easy to avoid the them as well make most play either solo or co-op....really fun sandbox even if it eats up an amazing amount of internet usage (if you have a cap) and is an incredible grind if you want the level 100 Achievement....you are forced to grind races mainly.

    I assume the reason that GTA is so popular is that the game was very accessible, meaning the single player lacks any real challenge as the game is expert i handholding and making difficult seeming encounters very easy. This can be both a plus (for casuals) and a minus (most serious gamers).

    The detailed open world is a pleasure to play in; as with all open worlds it is not perfect by a long shot, but it is hands down the best out there....Far Cry 3 would be the closest.

    Cons
    You are forced to play as 3 degenerate murderers....I find this an odd concept. You can spin it however you want, but all 3 are idiots.....how is one supposed to feel immersed playing these tools?

    The single player is far, far too easy.

    Traffic is supposed to mimic reality and yet the sole purpose of traffic in GTA V is to create obstacles for you as a driver.....it's idiotic.

    Default vehicles...each character has them, but no mater how much money you make you can never change your default vehicle.....very simple but massive fail.

    The addition of new Vehicles,Guns and Songs also keeps you interested if you already played hours of GTA5 on PS3/360.
    Grand Theft Auto Online on the other hand has been difficult and frustrating, lots of time spent in loading screens and disconnecting from friends/Jobs. Many people have been unable to even play GTA:Online and the methods of fixing the problem is well over the head of an average gamer and need to be address by Rockstar.
    Altogether GTA 5 is just as good when it was on last gen, put aside the technical issues that hopefully are fixed soon and you have an extremely fun and enjoyable game.

We can't play a single session without one of us being kicked off the server. That is if we are lucky enough to even get on a session!. Half of the missions that we start will end abruptly or the cops will interrupt due to the glitches in their system. Game saves are a joke. Most of the time rock-star servers are temporarily out of service. The system admin will say in their trouble shooting guide that it is your internet speeds or something to totally pass the buck, but running the tests confirming you have double their speed requirements and opening modem settings do nothing to resolve the fact that its their platform that is a piece of crap. My advice? Save your money if you want to play online with family! They charge way more than is necessary for in game cash and then you can't consistently even play the game without session hopping.

New this time around is first person mode, weather, traffic, vehicles, songs, etc and with the game totalling at 45 GB there's definitely a lot to do. Xbox one version runs well with the odd stutter here and there but very playable, I am sure the PC version will blow the doors off any game currently on the market graphics wise. Expand

    The Grand Theft Auto series has made leap and bounds in creating immersive gaming experiences. The series has recreated and refined open world games along the way. This addiction to the series is no exception as it has a huge open world and crazy antics throughout.
    This game is one of the most beautiful games to come out of 2014, especially with the updated graphics from the previous Xbox 360 and PS3 variation. It is aided by a huge but finely detailed map. From an airport to a dessert, this map has all the space and things you need to have a great time and keep the game interesting but also leave enough space and options for future amazing dlc.
    There are two clear modes in this game, the story mode which has 3 main characters and the online mode. This unique game is heavily aided by the story mode, which has 3 main characters which gives the gamer 3 different views and experiences throughout. Each character have their flaws and benefits which helps to make gameplay like nothing else. There are a whole host of action packed and unpredictable missions that will have you entertained for hours. There are also a number of heists that need setting up and executing throughout the game. Overall, the story mode is great but has not received any new dlc for a few years now.
    The second mode is the chaotic competitive multiplayer mode. This allows gamers to play together ultimately destroy one another with expansive range of explosives and guns available in the game. On the other hand there is also a passive mode which allows the player to not get killed. There is also a wide variety of vehicles including jets, boats, submarine, planes and cars, which have been added in recent DLC and many more are to come from this game. Fun and creative missions are also available to earn money, as well as heists to fund your free roam antics.
    The DLC is a bit controversial, the items being added are what everyone wants, but the price of these items in game and also in real life are extremely expensive. For example, if you want to by a hangar with all the upgrades and the most expensive plane in the game with all the upgrades also it will cost you over £100 in real money for two items, that’s crazy. This is also a great business model, but it’s getting ridiculous as it is turning into a pay to win game, which becomes boring as you’ve got to play missions over and over again to earn money, but still not get enough money to buy a single DLC item. Originally when the game came out the items were all reasonably priced so shark card were a good option that get plenty for your money. They have expanded this game greatly adding new experiences and whole new meaning to crazy but if only it was affordable
    Compared to other games this has a huge open map that many games do not offer. What stands out with this game is that nothing is impossible in this game, literally anything can happen, which why it is still one of the most played games 4 years after its original release in 2013 followed by this version later on.
    Overall, in my opinion this game is ground breaking and is going to age well and has aged well in fact but there is one significant problem with it; the new items are overpriced and take a lot to grind them out which is very repetitive and ultimately people like lose interest as they put in a lot of effort with very minimal rewards if any. This game is going to be an all-time classic and I don’t see it going anywhere anytime soon, as it is one of the greatest games I have ever played.

The videos Rockstar released before the game came out, showed more people on the roads and sidewalks, Denser foliage, and generally cleaner graphics than the Xbox 360 could handle, but none the less, for a last generation game, especially if you compare this game to GTA IV, was still a impressive game none the less.

    now, a little over a year on, we get the full HD treatment, with full streets and roads, just like the video's, and those commercial signs alongside the road are readable far far away. Most impressive is when you take the chopper, and fly above the city. You'll notice the cars are still on the road when you are high, the detail on the ground is nothing short of amazing, and so far, i have only been talking about the graphical changes made to the game. But there's more: New camera modes, like the FPS look, are added, the game play feels more "rounded", especially when you drive the lots of different (and also a few NEW) cars, this game looks and feels more polished, making this a instant buy for me.

    The biggest surprise was how much cleaner the audio sounds, especially the music on the radio! I play trough a 5.1 THX set, and the improvement in sound is just as big as the graphical one. Cars sound have more body and power, the surround effect works great, especially when you walk around mount chiliad (i don't know if this is spelled correct), and you hear a crying wolf just behind you. Priceless!

    So for me, after playing a few remakes of other games, this may be the best HD makeover i've played. Sure, you've played this before, but if you are like me (re playing the story 3 times or more on previous generation game) and you enjoy movies and games more than just once or twice, it's worth even only if the single player mode was improved, but there's more: Multiplayer has more players at the same time on the map, and most importantly (at least for me), you can transfer all your belongings you earned on the older generation versions to this game! It does not even matter if you go from Xbox 360 to Playstation 4, or from Playstation 3 to Xbox One! All you need to have is first create/connect your old generation game to Rockstar Social Club, and then boot up the new generation version, and go for character transfer. So in short, you can trade in your old version (AFTER connecting it with Rockstar's Social Club), so you won't pay full price! I had a nice 20€ discount, so that's nice.

    Have no doubt, if you liked the previous generation game, you will going to LOVE this one. A 10 is out of order because of just two small reasons: I played this before, and if you are a early adaptor, transfer your online character takes a long time because of busy servers, but this has been solved already, so no fear, this wil go smoothly now.

But I guess Rockstar felt that wasn’t long enough. The online component is worse. The load times are nearly long enough for me to have a pizza delivered to my home. But wait, it’s worse than that. The game constantly disconnects from the servers. So now I gotta either wait another lunar month for the GTA V online to load, or throw it out the window. I chose the latter.

    The load times between individual online missions are so long, that the first time I played, I thought my Xbox froze. It’s frustrating. It’s garbage. It’s an absolute joke. And I don’t understand this because Max Payne 3 is pretty darn good.

    I’ll be the first to say that GTA V’s load times make it one of the worst gaming experiences of recent memory. I don’t plan on providing a full review, because I don’t want to spend 20 minutes of every hour waiting for crap to load. But my first impression of the game is this: It’s overrated and boring. I enjoyed GTA back in the PS2 days.

    Foremost, the controls are confusing. Sometimes players have to press “X” to open a door. Other times they have to press left on the D-pad. Huh? This explains the need for constant on screen prompts. For the longest time I couldn’t remember how to sit on a couch. Sounds funny but this shouldn’t happen to gamers. GTA V needs better controls. It needs predictable, consistent controls. As they are now the controls suck.

    Navigating the map is cumbersome. To access the map, I have to open the menus, then select the map so I can view it. Putting extra steps between players and the map is a bad idea.
    Aiming is terrible. Even during its early missions, GTA’s flawed gun mechanics were already pissing me off. Shooting while driving is a disaster. Players must use 5 buttons simultaneously to control their cars and shoot. It’s a complete spectacle that I don’t have the patience to endure.

    GTA V’s driving experience is merely average. All engines sound anemic. Cars handle OK. For a series entitled Grand Theft Auto, I expected the “Auto” part to rock. But it doesn’t. I can name plenty of other games that rival and even surpass GTA V in that department.

    All its problems point to fundamental quality oversights. A series this old shouldn’t suffer from freshman flaws. At its core, GTA V is an average game. Sure, GTA’s world has gotten bigger. But the controls suck. Driving is mediocre. Gunplay is just plain awful. And the multiplayer is broken. Rockstar’s developers have been handed too much credit. But gamers eagerly lap it up so they can live out their law breaking, sex-crazed, gun totting, raunchy fantasies. It’s that simple. Who cares if nothing else works so long as horny gamers can experience horribly animated prostitutes laughably simulating fellatio.

    Having not played a GTA game in nearly a decade, I can unreservedly say that I’m not impressed. Despite all the crap kicked at Watch Dogs, it’s a superior game. Watch dogs has better mechanics. Better visuals. Better story. Heck, even the driving is better. There is constantly stuff to do and NPC’s are definitely more lifelike. I’ll pass on GTA V. I’d rather play Watch Dogs, Saints Row, Just Cause 2, or the exquisite Forza 4.

    GTA V is the culmination of franchise fatigue, wrong priorities, and horrible optimization. The high marks are not merited. It just shows that critics and gamers alike will always have their favorite games and challengers will be criticized for the very flaws that are ignored in those favorites.

This is just an example when I talk about nuisances. There are cars that suddenly change lane making impossible turns, there are police cars spawning in your way, there are sidewalks that make you trip if you are on a motorcycle, there are cars invading your lane hidden behind a corner and many other things that force you to drive slowly. They made it so you can't drive at full speed IN A **** GTA. There is ALWAYS something that gets conveniently in your way to stop you. Is this suppose to be realistic? Because it's not, all those nuisances look forced as **** Of course, most of the time you don't die and you lose some armor (armor is just extra health like in the previous titles, and I didn't like that back then and I don't like it now). You want to restore the armor? You have to found one in the world, because if you go to Ammunation without suffering enough damage, the game doesn't allow you to buy a new armor.

    Singleplayer is balanced like multiplayer: if your characters have "too much money", all the random events disappear, and you find yourself playing in a dead sand box.

    The story is shallow and not too long, it's under the 20hrs. Endings look all kinda empty and inconclusive. You can replay them to get medals, but that's too is annoying as **** You have to complete missions under a time limit, or you have to race against NPCs that are unstoppable like trains without damaging your car, you have to avoid taking damage, and on. They make the already annoying gameplay in a more annoying experience.

    The game is quite short for a sandbox. What did Rockstar did to expand the longevity? They put collectibles. HUNDREDS of them. They abused the cheapiest way to make a game last longer.

    The multiplayer is the worst I have ever seen. You are thrown in a public session. If there are more than ten players in your session, within ten minutes you are dropped. It's not your connection, it's their **** servers. You are dropped even if the session is private, of course. You want to race? Good luck finding more than 4 players to race with: the lobby system doesn't wait for you to find more people.

    tl;dr: This game was really a step back from GTAIV. Full of nuisances and collectibles, unremarkable story, less little details (search on youtube "GTA IV is better that GTA V to have an idea of what I'm talking about), the **** multiplayer and other things that may look small, but add up. It took me a lot of time for me to finish it (without collectibles, **** those things), because every half a hour I found myself thinking "WTF is this **** I'm out" and dropped the game for days.

    --->5/10, THE GAME WASN'T MADE TO BE FUN.

    In my opinion, quite simply one of the best games ever made. Easily 2013's best game. The world is alive, the story and the telling from 3 perspectives is great. Cars handle well, weapons handle well, missions have variation and humor. If you loved a GTA in the past, get ready to fall in love again.

    The core of the game for me is 10/10. The story, graphics, controls, sound is all remarkable. It was one of the my memorable gaming experiences. Everything felt so polished and refined. The introduction of 3 characters to live through was a fantastic idea and really allows you to dive in deeper with customization.

    Then came GTA online... and significantly impacted my final score. Words cannot describe my frustration trying to play it. It's an absolute piece of turd. Imagine a Ferrari, and everything on it is perfect, except the rear bumper is made out of play-doh. The loading times are astonishingly long, and if you're lucky to be connected you have anywhere between 10 minutes to 30 minutes before the server hands your ass to you out the door. I went through EVERY imaginable method described by Rockstar support to get this to work, and they kept saying it was on my end. Meanwhile I'm reading everywhere else people having the same issue. They asked for screenshots of all my settings and they finally admitted the problem wasn't on my end, and upgraded my support ticket which I never heard from again.

    You would think that Rockstar, with this mountain of cash they made, would invest in a good networking system. Right? What's interesting is, they promptly delete complaints off their forums about these problems. I have friends who are trying to play with the exact same issues.

    VERY disappointing.

    Great Game. 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…

Steam is always one of the most played games and the first ones are free games. It has sold more than 140 million games and has been shown to be of higher quality than 2020 games that are coming to revolutionize the industry.

    It is the most infra-flying game, I simply want to believe because of its popularity and to be the game that has surpassed the exclusives of such a console and some cannot bear it and for that they hate it

    The remastering of the game brought many new features such as some aviation missions, or secondary missions, races, many more new cars, a variety of cars and pedestrians on the streets, greater drawing distance, better textures, fov, new weapons,, more animals, peyotes, and first-person highlights and better made than first person only games of 2020.

    It has three stories in one, masterfully mixed, each character is for each type of player in the saga.

    The story is much more complicated, convoluted and better explained than what people usually see. People are only left with the action and the swearing but it is much more than that. The characters are well crafted and are deeper and have more personality than other games of the time. Michael is divided in his life and what he wants from it, Franklin is a worse person than he seems and Trevor is more friendly and aware of who he is than the other two. Everything you ask yourself playing the game is told in the story, how they met, why they are like this ... The heist missions are new and they have two options with their preparatory missions and apart is the saga game with the most missions varied, fun and long. It's a shame that people don't take the story seriously because it´s the top 3 of its generation.

    The secondary characters are very good, not at the level of gta iv but the closest ones have personality to have had their own dlc.

    The city is incredible, with city and countryside as many asked after gta iv, it feels alive and is full of curiosities, you can see even the curve of the earth when flying and the bottom of the sea is explorable. Again full of details like all R * games.

    There are also those who complain that there is nothing to do behind the story, something totally false. You can hunt, buy businesses and their missions, secondary missions, random characters, aviation test, base jump, shooting range, cinema, shopping for clothes, cars, tune cars, tune weapons, triathlons, etc.

    The graphics are the top of its generation considering that it is open world and the amount of things it has such as the ocean, the big map, physics, i.a. objects on screen ... and even being open world it is graphically above linear games

    The b.s.o. It is huge and with songs of all styles, the largest and most varied in the saga and far ahead of other open world games with similar themes. The songs created for the game and its missions are also very good and typical of action movies, playing in game situations adding tension and epicity.

    The gameplay is an evolution in the saga, now shoot, take cover, shoot without looking out, drive ... everything is different from gta iv. Some may think that it is better or worse but at least it is not a copy and paste and for 2013 it defends itself very well today

    After eight years and everything that has been achieved who denies that it is the game of the generation is lying to himself. Gta v is on another level, it took ps3 and 360 to the limit and it only remains to say thank you Rockstar

    6/13/21-6/25/21 100% Story 90% Side Missions 6/10 Stars

    I finally pushed myself to finish this game after several years of false starts. Between the controls and the overly long story it was a tough road for sure.

    The story follows Franklin (Ice Cube from Friday, complete with funny side-kick), Michael (NOT Tommy Vercetti, which I was expecting and would have been a cool twist) and Trevor (Favorite character of all thirteen year olds who still think swearing is edgy). Franklin runs into the retired thief Michael and soon begins pulling off heists of all shapes and sizes. Eventually, they draw the attention of Trevor, an old and bitter acquaintance from Michael's past. The three of them get involved in one mess after another.

    The story did have compelling moments, but it was incredibly long with some story lines that seemed to go nowhere. The problem with three protagonists is that you don't get as attached to any of them. Not that any of them are decent characters. Trevor is usually gross and Michael is a sad sack. The closest proper character might be Franklin, but he still is a bit one note and doesn't really grow throughout the story. There are some genuinely funny lines and situations, but more often written with a very stupid and childish sense of humor.

    The absolute worst component of this game is the way the characters and vehicles control. Even at the highest driving skill level and the best cars, you'll feel like you're driving on ice. There are so many games that have done driving controls way better, it's incredibly frustrating to be in a high speed chase only to hit a pole and be spun around in the other direction. Walking is even worse! After thirty hours I still had trouble pointing any character in the right direction. The most difficult part of any mission is fighting with the controls.

    The mission design is quite varied, some can be a bit tedious with all the driving. At least the heists that pop up throughout the story do get quite interesting. They are usually pretty well designed with different approaches and planning. Switching between characters during these missions is well done when each one has their own skills to contribute.

    It is very difficult to score this game too low. Clearly a ton of time has gone into the world design and the graphics and scenery are still incredibly well done. Video games are made by so many teams of people, whichever of those teams that handled the story and (especially) the controls definitely did a terrible job. The teams that created the world and environments still deserve credit for excellent work.

    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]

    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.

    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.
