Grand Theft Auto Five surprisingly blew my expectations out if the water. The game is visually stunning, and it has some of the best graphics I have ever seen in any game, period. Gameplay for the most part is smooth and flows nicely, it can get a little choppy if you are driving really fast, but definitely an improvement from past GTA’s. The game has a strong main story line, a large diverse map to explore, and of course there are tons of side missions and other things to keep you entertained for hours on end.
I really enjoy the plot In GTA five, it is broken into three main characters, with their own stories, missions, and abilities that all tie in nicely together to create the main plot. Which is different from past GTA’s where you are restricted to just one character, which can make the story line get repetitive, or boring after playing for a while. I personally love the idea of having three characters to choose from, it makes the plot more complex, and much more fun. If you are struggling with a mission, or just want to go somewhere else you can just change your character, and do something completely different. Not to mention on some missions when you are together you can change between them to help your characters out.
I cannot say enough about the visual improvements of GTA V, which were much needed from the previous games. The developers did an outstanding job capturing all the small details on everything, from the mannerisms of the random people on the streets, the vehicles, and even nature. They also added a new feature that lets you change the camera to play in first person, which I think makes it even more realistic compared to the third person view, and helps bring more of the details to life. However driving in the first person view is quite challenging due to the fact that you can’t see your surroundings as well.
There is also large online multiplayer games that you can participate in which is also fun. I have not spent that much time on the multilayer platform because I enjoy the single player story so much, but it is a different and good way to change the game up a little bit.
Overall I believe this game is a must have, you will not be disappointed. The main story is great and like all past GTA games there is a lot to keep you occupied. You can create your own fun outside of the main plot, and go off and explore the huge map, as well as cause chaos
