    GTA 5 has improved a lot compared to the previous games. Improved gameplay, a good story mode, and an amazing open world. The new first-person perspective for only the next-gen consoles is really awesome. You get to experience the whole game in a new way. The online may need some work but the game overall is amazing

    GTA V on the ps3-x360 was great, now with the remaster, it is simply amazing. The game looks far better than the oldest version, the fps feature is awesome and the added environnement effects make the game much more realistic. Even if it means a double dip, you should buy the game.

    Nobody can hate this game because there is enough to do for everyone. You like side missions they have that.... You like multiplayer they have that....... You like free playing around and doing what you want they have that....... There is no way you can be negative about this game even if you try. The game has no problems at all!!!

    What a amazing masterpiece of a video game. This game is purely amazing, everything about it is great, I currently own it on the Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC and I love each and every version of this amazing video game. The game is currently going for $30-$40 on the Xbox 360 so if you have the money I recommend you run to the store to pick up this game.

    9 years ago, In 2008, Grand Theft Auto IV blew everyone away with it's incredible gameplay, it's massive multiplayer matches, top of the line graphics for it's time, and a reason for it to be the best game in the franchise. 5 years later, GTA V took everyone by surprise, Rockstar went all out with GTA V and brought us back to the city of Los Santos that we haven't seen since San Andreas.9 years ago, In 2008, Grand Theft Auto IV blew everyone away with it's incredible gameplay, it's massive multiplayer matches, top of the line graphics for it's time, and a reason for it to be the best game in the franchise. 5 years later, GTA V took everyone by surprise, Rockstar went all out with GTA V and brought us back to the city of Los Santos that we haven't seen since San Andreas. The game is so beautifully detailed from faces of the three main characters and the pedestrians all throughout the streets, to the wide variety of nicely designed vehicles both brand new and some returning cars as well. I first bought this game when it first released on the last gen consoles, and I thought it was amazing then, but after being re-released on the current gen consoles, it looks even better than before. The story is the highlight in this game, despite the insanely fun multiplayer, where you play as not one, not two, but three main characters to play as. Each character has their own timeline and their own missions that don't involve all the others, it's a great way to see the character development individually. The three main characters are all criminals in their own ways, there's Michael, the recently un-retired professional criminal who is riddled with family issues, anger problems, and alcohol, Franklin, a member of the grove street gang, he is the best driver out of the three and is guy who want to do more than to be a regular criminal, and then there is Trevor, the psychotic, rage driven, hilariously unpredictable character who wants to make big bucks through his cocaine industry, and all these qualities make them who they are. The activities haven't changed very much since the first release, they stayed pretty much the same. The multiplayer is fun, the servers may not work half of the time, but when they work you can have the time of your life. Grand Theft Auto V is incredible feat, for a game that was released 4 years ago, it still can bring you hours of non-stop gameplay, GTA IV is slightly better but not by much, but nonetheless it is an amazing game to play whether you are here for it's visually striking graphics, it's fun multiplayer, or it's captivating story mode, Grand Theft Auto V is the result of a successful franchise that has been around for 20 years, and this is not the last we've heard of GTA V, far from it.

    I have this game on both the XB360 and the XB1, why? BECAUSE IT IS FABULOUS.

    Ok, lets start with the story mode. You can play as Franklin, Michael and Trevor. You get to learn a bit about their background, family etc. It took me about a week or two to complete JUST the story. The story line never got boring, every mission was different to the one before that and just kept you gripped

You get to learn a bit about their background, family etc. It took me about a week or two to complete JUST the story. The story line never got boring, every mission was different to the one before that and just kept you gripped and intrigued. There are endless amounts of side missions, and the best of all is the free roam. You come across many weird and wonderful things whilst driving around Los Santos and Blain County. I could talk all day about how amazing it is.

    Next we'll talk about playing online. This is my favourite. Playing GTAV Online is the best thing about the whole game. You get to create your very own characters (you're aloud two characters male or female). There are hundreds of missions, races, deathmatches, last team standings, parachuting, capture missions, versus missions, the list is endless. You can even create your own races and team deathmatches, which is fun, then publish them or just mess around with them with your friends. When your level up your character you unclock so many things, for example clothing, haircuts, mods for your cars, weapons, weapon attachments etc.

    Rockstar Games do a good job of keeping people playing the game, for example every couple of months they bring out a new DLC, they're always free too.

    Overall this is and always will be for a long time, an amazing game. Almost 2 years on since it was brought out, and millions of people are still playing it every day.

    this is probably one of the best games I've played in a long time. The huge open world, mixed with amazing graphics and senseless violence makes an amazing game. The story line is moving and it can be very dramatic. The online mode is just as fun and with heists out now, there is very little you can't do. I would definitely buy this game if you don't already have it.

    My favourite game franchise is Grand Theft Auto. I liked GTA V when it came out the last generation. Now, with updated graphics, more music on the radio and the ability to play the game in First Person, makes this the best game I've played.

    The story is great. You play as three characters;

    Michael De Santa - A former bank robber, now retired with his wife and two kids. After a mistake, he is forced to go back to what he's doing best. Michael is an expert with firearms.
    Franklin Clinton - A small time gangster, who want to live The American Dream. He joins Michael to fulfill that Dream. Franklin is an expert with cars.
    Trevor Phillips - A psychopath and drug dealer, living in his trailer. He and Michael used to work together. When Trevor discover that Michael is back in business, Trevor decides to pay him a visit. Trevor is an expert with helicopters.

    All missions is different and funny to play, especially when you can switch characters, both on missions and free roam. In some missions both Michael, Franklin and Trevor must work together. An example of this is in one mission where you must rescue a man from a building. To do this, Trevor must first fly to the building with a helicopter. Then, Michael needs to rappel down the building. While rescuing the man, Franklin must, across the building, assist Michael with shooting down enemies with a sniper rifle. After you rescued him, you can either play as Michael and take down choppers OR play as Trevor and avoid enemy fire. This scenario makes this game so brilliant. One of GTA V´s strongest Points is the bank heist missions. Here you must plan a heist of different kinds. You have two ways to execute the heist. Do you want to go in the loud and messy way or do you want to go the more silent and professional way? The choice is yours. Depending on which option you chose, you get different missions to prep the heist. One thing I don't like is that is only a few of this missions (I know that is more in GTA Online, but more of that later). You can also, besides missions, participate in side activities. You can play golf, do Yoga, hunt animals, skydive and more. I finished the game after 30+ hours (with side activities included). The only thing I DISLIKE about this game is GTA Online. All weapons, accessory and clothes are expensive, which ruins the fun. Luckily this doesn't affect the score for me. This is a must buy for fans of GTA!

    I would give this a 10 but no game is perfect but this comes really close. First you have the story which can be a solid 50 hours of gameplay even more if you have fun and do all the side quests, which could bring it up to 80hours. Then you can replay it and get even more hours out of the game. at first i was disappointed with multiplayer servers because they were super unreliable, butI would give this a 10 but no game is perfect but this comes really close.

    It's a decent, overrated, game that leaves you plenty options to do even if you beat the campaign. The campaign was fun but many of the missions wouldn't show up on your map or mission info thing so you basically needed to use youtube for a majority of the time. It doesn't clearly describe to you what to do if this happens. Anyways, to the story, the story was very, umm, sort of unique.It's a decent, overrated, game that leaves you plenty options to do even if you beat the campaign.

It's basically a city in America where you can do whatever the heck you want, and getting away from the police is simple, just keep driving away from them until they lose you. You can play three characters, each character with different views, opinions, missions, etc. The story itself is fun, but then it gets sort of weird and silly (in a good way, sort of). The characters are very laughable, especially Trever, my favorite character, but some just annoying like Mike. God was he annoying, and Franklin just looks like he just doesn't care that he's here for most of the time. To wrap this up, story is sometimes sloppy and way off but the game itself has a ton of fun things to do. For example, racing, gun fights, stuff like that and yeah. Solid 8/10. Expand

    Even though it came out at the end of last gen, GTAV is still one of the very best games of this generation.

    Single player: The offline mode is as strong as ever, intertwining 3 playable character stories into one. Graphically the most polished Rockstar game by far. A longer story than many games, you can easily put 30-50 hours into the single player before it gets stale at all.

    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.
