Well for me, I loved it. Others disagree on this because they say it doesnt quite feel the same as the others, this is because of the new engine being used. This is the first one since GTA3 that uses a new engine. To me, it works very nicely.

----Graphics------
Gorgeous graphics, compared to all the others... Considering that the people in the game.. ACTUALLY HAVE MOVING AND FUNCTIONING HANDS *gasp*. Yep its pissed me off for a while but all the little details like that, impress me, especially when its not only the main characters that have that. But all NPCs walking the streets look astonishing. Its simply great. 10/10.

------Sound-----
Music, voice acting, and gun sounds.. They all sound fantastic. The guns definetly needed new sounds and Rockstar pulled through on that. 9/10

-----Gameplay----
One word... PHYSICS. The new engine, physics. Which is actually pretty cool, and put in. Try doing this, either blow yourself up, or my personal favorite, is to get into a helicopter and "aim" for a building to ghost ride into, and see how my body falls and crashes on top/into said buildings and flails to the street.... OK maybe I am just a little sadistic.. Still its funny to watch.
Walking about in the game, using your phone, goin online... Its all great. The gun play mechanic where you can duck for cover, is a big help in gunfights. Driving, you may find hard to get used to cause of how its more realistic (supposedly). 9/10

-----Multiplayer-----
AWESOME. Its what was needed and the big emphasis on the game actually. It has everything you want for it and more. Rockstar, I salute you, on how you designed it. Could be better on how you select games though, to have a better menu.. Still its great no the less. It has Coop missions as well in the online, free roam, death match.. Theres alot to be said. There are many customization options as well. For 360 (not sure about ps3) you can go up ranks, which unlock new clothes for your character. So somewhat rewarding. And for those that are server makers... TURN OFF AUTOAIM.
9/10

All in all, great game to pick up. But again, may not be for you, alot of people have said that it doesnt feel the same. So go with caution on it. A definite if you play online though.
