    I completed this game on Xbox 360 first, now on Xbox One is only better. Better graphic, more cars on streets, more people around, which make some missions more difficult. The story is the strongest part. All characters are unique, charismatic and it's so easy to identify with them. The first person mode is great looking, however unnecessary. I would prefer more missions instead. CannotI completed this game on Xbox 360 first, now on Xbox One is only better.

    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.

    I don't think I need to say too much that isn't written elsewhere, it looks great, it plays great, the online is a blast and they keep adding more! The story is great to play, with many many hours just in the single-player, but get a group of friends, jump in the online and you'll never stop playing!

    Have always loved the GTA series and for me it just keeps getting better and better. I would love the story line to be longer and maybe online to have an option to choose who you are online with e.g. players who want to do certain types of missions or players who just want to be online to fight other players etc

    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.

Multiplayer is awesome especially with the addition of Heists. Multiplayer will provide unlimited hours of gameplay and always provide something to do. The best part is they release updates for FREE with new cars, clothes, houses, side missions in game, and much more extra content to enhance the multiplayer for FREE!!!!! overall this game is easily the best game you can get for 60 dollars and a worthwhile buy.… Expand

    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…

    This is the first GTA I have ever played and after 100%ing it here are my thoughts.

    Pros Best online I have ever played. 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    This is the first GTA I have ever played and after 100%ing it here are my thoughts.

    Pros
    Best online I have ever played. 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.    … Expand

    8/10 Personally because I havent really got in to GTA until this release but I look forward to GTA 6??? POSSIBLY, YES, NO??? :D

    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.

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!    … Expand

    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.

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.

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.

    GTA V is the cream of the crop of the series. It provides us with a excellent story, colorful visuals, great graphics and a real sense of realism that was not found in the other games. It is truly on one of the best games ever made. It truly takes the top of the tower. Rockstar's elegantly created Los Santos is something, you shouldn't miss out on. Truly a spectacular sight.

    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.
