Awesome game for thrill seeker's
This is the best game they have put out so far. Once you start the fun don't stop. There is so much to do on there you may lose your social life for awhile. I'm looking forward to gta6. No complaints here. I just wish I can add my own content to the game how I want my world to be. It would be nice if xbox and ps3 players can play in one worlds on the map altogether at once.

Best game ever made
GTAV is overall the greatest game ever made. The story is very engaging and leaves you wanting more. There are countless things to do when not in a mission. There are endless views of the LS and San Andreas skylines which don't disappoint no matter what time of day it is in the game. The cars drive much nicer than in previous GTAs. Also I like that if you die during a mission, you have the option of restarting from a checkpoint so if you're very deep into it you don't have to start completely over. There are three playable main characters, Franklin Clinton, Michael Townley, and Trevor Phillips, which are very all compelling and bring their own special skills such as driving, shooting, and flying. Dogs are in the game, but are not playable. Most notably is Lamar's dog Chop who you can play fetch with whilst controlling Franklin. Also he will protect Franklin by attacking his enemies. You can shoot (or run over) wildlife if you desire, but I don't recommend hitting them whilst on a bike. The only thing I would say could be better about the game in general, is there are occasional glitches such as subtle graphics pop in and I had an issue where Michael's wife got stuck in the front door of the safe house and and the screen started flickering. As a result, Michael temporarily couldn't use that door to go out. Fortunately, there are several other means of going outside, such as the patio doors in back, the garage access, or through the upstairs bathroom window. You cannot go in or out through the chimney like Santa. So in all honesty, you can't do EVERYTHING in GTAV, but it doesn't take away from the fun factor. Also, some of the on screen text is very hard to read because of obscure fonts and generally just very small size type. The phone content is especially hard to read which I found to be annoying. Other than that, the game is still great and the best I've ever played in all my years of gaming. I would give GTAV 97 out 100 Chop treats.

An Amazing addition to an established franchise
This game is everything you would expect from Rockstar and then some, by some I mean A LOT! just to give you an idea of how large this game is, I so far have only played for 12 hours, completing only 5/69 main missions. The graphics are beautiful and impeccable, the views, scenery and NPC's that you can choose to interact with is hilarious. Depending on which neighborhood your in your always bound to stumble upon something new, secret, or just plain entertaining. The controls are sturdy and smooth, and although at first it may take time getting used to, this game will easily suck a minimum of 50-75 hours of your life and that's not even including the online version which is only being released October 1st. 2 other awesome and handy items Rockstar did was making 2 ipad/iphone apps, one being the manual with a googly style map and ifruit where you train your dog, and customize cars for the ps3 game.

Best game ever.
This is by far the best game of the series. Part 4 was a bit of a let-down, especially after the countless hours I invested in San Andreas..and this game has brought back that "San Andreas" feel, as well as attention to detail that has become the GTA standard. I have already spent tens of hours on the game in the past couple days, and I have to even come close to exploring the world in it's entirety. I've had fun just looking around and trying various methods of transportation as well as finding new ways to wreak havoc, and building up my character's skills. The missions so far have proven to be mildly challenging, not too hard, not to easy, but just fun and interesting in general...plus, the story itself is immersive in that twisted GTA sense. I love this game and look forward to the many more hours of entertainment it will provide me and I am very satisfied with this purchase.
