Unlike some other gamers who probably jumped right into multi-player to get their kill on along with their hoodlum buddies. I took the time to stop and savor just about every sweet surprise this epic game had to offer. Even though I completed single player at 78% completed it still felt like I had played forever and could keep playing single player for a long time and still not find or do everything meant for my enjoyment in this gigantic Rock Star created world.
GTA V - If you're like me and played Grand Theft Auto since the beginning (The original top down GTA) then I'm betting you can truly appreciate the direction Rock Star chose to go with these games. GTA is meant to be a brutal free roam, kill at your own pace type of open sandbox game that most people think is over the top and takes itself to serious.
Trust me, the only way GTA V is serious is if you make it serious. If you take the time to even as much as drive somewhere other then the main street you will find a plethora of detail upon detail inside this game. From the sound of broken glass being stepped on created by the window you just broke attempting to steal a faster car to the cashier behind the counter remembering your face from the last time you stopped in to rob a store and make a few quick bucks, there's a lot of detail here and I am very happy that they chose to give this game more tricks then it's predecessors with an exception to San Andreas.
The police in Grand Theft Auto V have been finely tuned and turned into robust, thinking killing machines, perhaps they're a little to serious about their jobs though? you normally can get cops chasing you from the normal day to day criminal activity, robbing, killing but this time around they know how to stop you and will use just about any means to try and ruin your day.
In previous games the police were vigilant but still seemed to lack the ability to think in a "hide mind" and took a more direct charge in head first method in attempts to destroy you but this time around cops will take cover, call for backup, try to drag a wounded fellow officer to cover and even take the wheel when you shoot out the driver in a squad car, police in GTA V are more then vigilant, they're down right brutal, ruthless and self-centered.
The fun doesn't stop there!
Innocent Pedestrians love their cars to but if you go jacking cars like they're candy in a Halloween free for all you will find some very gun happy citizens taking the law into their own hands. and gun you down also if other armed citizens see you commit a crime they may get ballsy and attempt to kill you on the spot also. As a matter of fact you really have to watch out for everyone in GTA just as much as they have to watch out for you and your murderous ways.
You will easily find yourself thinking you're on the verge of outrunning the police cruisers and helicopters only to find out other law abiding citizens want you dead as well and swerve their vehicle into your car and try to ram you off the road so the entourage of police can fill you to the brim with bullets.
Luckily you do have a barrage of weapons at your disposal to help you on your trip to the top, everything from pistols to shotguns to mini-guns and from broken bottles to bats to sticky bombs there are so many ways to take out large groups of people in so many ways that every kill can seem just as fresh as the last. Just remember the cops have big guns to and they will use them at the blink of an eye.
The whole world feels alive and aware of your presence, there's mountains, rivers, lakes, multiple airports, forests, boat docks, secret cults,submarines ocean floors to explore and more each with it's own levels of depth. Don't expect to see anything that makes you think "Why did Rock* put this here?". Everything seems to have meaning in this game.
Property in GTA V can be purchased all over the place. Theaters, airports,boat docks clubs and more can be purchased and some of these properties even earn revenue to get you some extra money. Certain properties even have their own missions for you to complete. Most of these are typical A to B delivery but it really just adds yet another layer onto this game.
Just about everything you can buy in the world is accessible via your in-game smart phone's web browser, see a car you like on Legendary Motorsport? Select a color you like and if you got the cash submit an online order for it. Your new ride will be delivered to your garage shortly after. Some other vehicles you can purchase are boats, helicopters, military vehicles and tanks, just remember, they cost money.
Speaking of the web in this game... Rock Star really fleshed out the in-game online experience, you'll find all kinds of websites to purchase things from, get information about specific locations and even a social network (Life Invader) where you have your own profile and can view other people's profile.
For instance, if you see some chump in a nice car stopped at a stop light and you feel like racing just pull up along side them and rev up your engine, given they aren't a spineless wimp they should accept your challenge to an impromptu race.
Game does have it's drawbacks but these are easily overlooked or forgotten once you get into the nitty-gritty guts of the game and see how well this master piece was pieced together. Most the cons I have are superficial but I'll list a few of them here.
1.The world is to damn big at times
When I'm not killing, robbing or running from my certain doom I find that I may want to do something leisurely like take my submarine out for a spin, sure I could just take a taxi and I usually do to cut down on time.
The world being so big isn't a bad thing however since driving across the world to my favorite dock can seem like a whole new experience. I just find that if I chose to drive I easily get distracted quite easily by all the seemingly attractions that litter the world here.
2.Cops are BRUTALLY ruthless
This also isn't really a con but I find myself in botched robbery attempts all the time. My robbery can be going great and I can be so close to my escape route that I can feel my salvation from 5 stars in sight only to have a police squad car pull a pit maneuver on me then get swarmed by up to 5 police cars, blocked in and shot to a gruesome death before I can even decide which weapon I'd like to die holding.
In the end this really adds to the fun factor and is only be a nuisance if I forgot to prepare ahead of time for any kind of altercation with the law and if you learn from your mistakes you can usually avoid any major altercations with the cops.
3.Everything is so expensive!
Like I mentioned before there are many properties to buy here, many expensive things. property can easily cost $200,000 and more, vehicles can cost even more especially for the high-end cars and military vehicles.
I normally have little patience for things like this in games but here I felt like money has meaning, unfortunately you don't get very much from robbing poor chumps and holding up convenience stores though there are ways to make up to $1,000,000 by doing some of the side quests. Heists definitely help your bankroll but usually leave you with just enough money to buy 1 new big toy.
This once again is easily overlooked for me since there's so much affordable stuff to buy and or steal that saving up the money to purchase the high-end things in life that you could life without but once you buy them you easily have them at your disposal.
Final conclusion
There's so much more GTA V has to offer that can't be covered since you have to experience it for yourself and every encounter with the game never plays out the same. No other sandbox game really tops the hog nasty rich experience of Grand Theft Auto V.
All in all on a score of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst game ever and 10 being the best game ever I could easily give Grand Theft Auto a 9 out of 10 score.
There are some things found in other GTA games that if added to GTA V would have given it a perfect score (Jetpack anyone?) and some things I would have just liked to see like the RC planes from San Andreas but things like that are trivial when you see just see how much interaction is really packed into this game.
