Grand Theft Auto V - Xbox 360

Where to begin? It's hard to find a place in such an enormous world full of things to see and do. I'm going to begin with the world. Rest assured. It's huge, and varies greatly. There's no longer just a boring city that we saw in Grand Theft Auto IV. There's your given city, Los Santos, and then the huge world around it which includes nature, more rural towns, and many more places to visit. However, it wouldn't be much worth it if it wasn't fun or packed with things to do. Once again, rest assured. There are many activities that no longer feel like chores for the money that IV had. You'll be able to do things like bounty hunting, racing, animal hunting, and more. Each of these are very well thought out and feel very fun, and rewarding- because money no longer has very little value other than for weapons. In fact, you'll almost never have enough money! Apart from the vehicles to buy, weaponry and the other standard things you'd expect, there's also customization on both weapons and cars that personalize your experience. Apart from that, there's businesses to buy that grant you chances to have more power and income. And to top that off, there's also several side missions and strangers to meet, each with their own story and optional missions that are quite interesting, and often mysterious. However, what most people are there for is the storyline. Let me just say, though it's only about 70 missions and takes from 15-25 hours, it's very well thought out. I haven't finished it yet because of all the other things to do, but I can already tell the missions are heading towards greatness. It's no longer a "drive here, kill them, drive back" situation. You never know how a mission is going to start or what you're going to do. You could one minute be infiltrating a base, the other robbing banks. Which brings me to the next point: The storyline in Grand Theft Auto V takes you to success and riches that make you feel like you're actually a gangster. There are about eight or nine heists in the game, I believe. And they're not even limited to the requirements! Each heist is made through your playstyle. This includes your approach (loud and proud, or quiet), you can customize the members you choose to come a long with you, and more. They're also heavily inspired by several heists in classic movies. The heists are some of the best feelings you'll ever get in a game. It feels like a high budget movie. Heists vary from jewel store robberies with escapes on dirt bikes to huge heists of millions of dollars with the marines chasing after you. Each mission, especially the heists, are extremely well thought out, unpredictable, and action packed. I cannot judge the story's power as I have not finished, but my friends that have say it's a quite decent ending for such a story. And there's no longer limitation to one character. There are three characters, Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. Each have their own personality that doesn't limit you to one character. They each have their own special ability, and can be switched through in or out of missions. There's also stats for each ranging from driving to stamina that can be upgraded for better character performance on missions. Apart from all that, there's also the small touches that make it great. To make the world feel more alive than ever, there's things such a stocks and randomized events, ranging from a small bike theft to shootouts. As a Rockstar games, there's also several easter eggs, like ghosts, U.F.Os, and even cults that you can secretly join. There's no longer any packages to find but there are U.F.O. parts and confessions to the murder of CJ's mom from San Andreas (Each 50). Not to mention there's lots of modern popular songs on the radios, as well as the classic radio parody talk shows. As another well needed touch, the game is much smoother now. Engine and gameplay wise. Animations are top notch, gunplay feels very solid and the cover system got some much needed love. The cops have also been improved, and are no longer the obese and stupid, but very dedicated and it will take effort to get away from them. It's no longer escape from their little radar icon, but rather escape and then hide in alleyways, fool them by maybe leaving you car in a street to make them think you've gone that way, or leave false trails. Weapon swap is no longer awkward scrolling through and trying to find what you want, but rather a roulette that allows you to pick which weapon you want from whichever category (Red Dead Redemption style). The driving mechanics are also much greater. Cars feel more solid, each have their own feel and take a lot more damage from crashing. Air vehicles have turbulence and are a lot more difficult to learn but very well rewarding when you do. Game performance is amazing because it takes about 1-3 minutes to load up, and missions and other loading times are extremely short. Not to mention the amazing graphics. Rockstar has made a masterpiece. Overall, the game is a 10/10. It's a top notch game, and I haven't even been able to try GTA Online because it hasn't been released yet. Well worth the buy. Graphics: 10/10 (Amazing for such an old console) Gameplay: 10/10 (Smooth, feels solid) Story: Cannot judge, haven't finished. Missions: 10/10 (Very fun and variant) Side activies/world: 10/10 Pro's: -Huge world -Lots of side activities that are fun and rewarding -Amazing story missions -Well planned out and player influenced heists -Great easter eggs -Better mechanics and gameplay -3 Characters than can be switched between Con's: -Textures don't load sometimes -When you replay a mission, the loading time is insane (1-5 minutes) -Your social life will go down the drain

As an adult gamer, I absolutely love this game. The attention to detail Rockstar has put into it is amazing. It takes everything you have loved about the GTA series, put it into a huge world, and made it look so good you can't believe it is running on a 10 year old computer. Gameplay is fun and fulfilling for the most part. It does leave you wanting more in the way of main story line missions, but over all there is a ton of gameplay without ever connecting to XBLive. The world is huge and beautiful, but sometimes feels empty. For example there are huge buildings and areas that you are not used or even directed through in the story line. 95% of the action takes place on about a 35% of the map. With that said, I have noticed that in GTA online, they seem to be using these locations more. The combat mechanics is very similar to GTA IV. The only noticeable change is the way you swap weapons, which is vastly improved. I can actually switch from my combat rifle to my shotgun before getting killed by a flanking player. It is not in any way a first person shooter, nor does it make it out to be. Over all the gameplay is completely absorbing. With that absorbing gameplay comes it's major problem. This is a MATURE rated game for a reason. It has consistent, horrible, language and nudity (no more black stars like in previous editions, with billions of polygons to make it realistic). This is not even going into the cold blooded (even twisted) violence that is forced upon the player. I worked in very harsh environments through the years that have built up a "filter" for a lot of these things. I am not saying that your child should or should not play this game, I am saying an adult needs to make a decision about whether they want to allow their child to play it. They should also be aware of it's content so that they are making an informed decision. Do not compare this game to other M rated games (such as Halo) that received their ratings on violence alone. Take any one of the mentioned "reasons" on the ratings card and there is enough of it to get a M rating. Like I mentioned before, I thoroughly enjoyed this game, I would not let my children, or a child I was responsible for play it. For the online: I did not try and play it until about a week after it was released and I had a much better experience because of it. The bugs that plagued the first few weeks I have not encountered. The game is a mix of a persistent, open world morpg and a "menu based" XP shooter like CoD. It is fun to run around with friends in the open world, but you really have to choose whether you want to mess around or do missions because the transitions between the two are clunky and slow. In the open world, it is not a " casual friendly" game (nor was it designed to be). Playing by yourself you have to look over your shoulder constantly for other players in your area, because they will most likely kill you on sight. It is much more fun for most if played in a crew, or on a server with only friends. If you buy into the fact that the vast majority of other players will be your enemy and play accordingly you can have a good bit of fun. Most of the people I have heard complaining about how the open world plays out are very young (more reason youngsters shouldn't be playing it). If you have friends and a mic you will love the online play. If not, you can always stay out of the open world and just rank up like other shooters. Overall this is one of the most entertaining and absorbing games I have ever played.

El juego llegó en excelentes condiciones el día que me pusieron como día de entrega aproximada, no venía roto y no tiene ningún problema, el juego viene en inglés con subtítulos en español, el único defecto que le encontré (qué supongo es mío) es que las texturas tardan en cargar aveces e incluso una vez se levanta crasheo como por 30s...aunque dudo que sea el producto, tal vez debo reinstalar los archivos ya que tenía ese gta pero se me rompió el disco 2 quizá falta algún archivo que debe estar ahi o hay algo haciendo conflicto así que si continúa voy a reinstalar, pero repito el juego dudo que sea ya que este está tal y como el proveedor dice...
