I know it is their first outing with FP view, but it simply plays less smooth than CoD, BF or FarCry. Especially the aiming. In CoD, BF, FC I have never problem to put the dot on the head, but in GTAV it is a major pain. I don't know why. I'd say, hire some guy from those other games, copy/paste some controller coding and hey presto, you've got your shooting mechanics like CoD/BF/FC

    So ... there is something to improve on this already 10/10 game.

    Don't be bothered by my 'negative' above. Just play and enjoy this game like I do. Both last year on 360 and now, gloriously upgraded on Xbox One:)    … Expand

    With significant improvements graphically and musically,as well as dozens of subtle changes and upgrades,GTA V remains a true masterpiece of gaming.Simply walking,running,flying,swimming and driving around absorbing the fantastic atmosphere is one of the great joys of this video game.

    From The Addition Of Animals To Actually Being Able To Play As One. The Game Has A Lot To Offer. I Am Certain That There Is New Content Yet To Be Discovered In The Game. For Xbox One Owners, This Is The Definitive Version.

    I have owned both the previous versions on Xbox 360 and PS3, and I have to say that they managed to make one of the best games of all time even better.
    Pros:
    - Significantly improved and stable frame-rate - First person mode (changes the entire way you play the game) - Higher resolution - Driving acceleration torque control is similar to that of Forza Horizon - Lots of added bonus    I have owned both the previous versions on Xbox 360 and PS3, and I have to say that they managed to make one of the best games of all time even better.

    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.

    This game is perfect, there's nothing bad apart from they don't update GTA Online enough. The story was brilliant and I did not expect them to put much effort into it but they did! the graphics compared to Old Gen are like a whole different game.

    Amazing.
    Graphically I'd say it's at it's best with it's higher resolution, and faster frame rate. The traffic is little denser, however it could be better, they went on, and about saying it would be like midnight club, but it's not. The wildlife is crazy. There are so much more new wild life in it. The map is more detailed, it has actual grass, flowers, lights on the sites look more    Amazing.

    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…

    I chose not to buy the 360 version, expecting the release of a "next gen" version. So, for me this is a brand new game. I cannot compare it with the last gen version.

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

    Rockstar is a company that cares about their games and cares about the consumer. A very rare thing to come by in this day and age.

    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.

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.

    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.
