Grand Theft Auto V Review

Two of my favorite moments from Grand Theft Auto V are a summary of its extraordinary scope. The first is from a midgame mission where I flew a plane into a second plane, fought the crew and hijacked it. After that, I parachuted out to watch the plane crash into the ocean and escape death at the hands incoming military fighter planes. Another time, while driving in an off-road buggy I was distracted by what looked like a path up the San Andreas mountain. It was actually a path and I followed it for 15 minutes to the summit. I almost ran over several hikers. One of them shouted at me, "Typical!" as if he was about to be run over by an ATV on the top of a mountain every hike he takes.


This could go on for hours. GTA V is full of these moments, both small and large, which make San Andreas, the city of Los Santos, and the surrounding areas, feel like a living place where anything could happen. You have the freedom to explore a world that is amazingly well-constructed and it also tells a compelling, thrilling, and darkly comic story. This is a major leap in narrative sophistication and every mechanical aspect of Grand Theft Auto IV has been improved. The cover system is now more reliable and the auto aim less touchy. Although the cars feel less like buttery tires and stick better on the road, their exaggerated handling leaves plenty of room to cause spectacular crashes. Rockstar has finally defeated mission checkpointing, one of the most persistent evils in Rockstar's history. This means that you will never have to drive six times if you fail a mission again.

Grand Theft Auto V also offers an intelligent, hilarious, and incisive commentary on the post-economic crisis America. It drips satire on everything: celebrities, the Millennial generation and the middle class as well as the far right, left, middle class, and media. Rockstar's sharp tongue is a danger to everything, even modern video games. A prominent supporting character is seen spending most of his time in his bedroom shouting sexual threats at people through a headset while playing Righteous Slaughter, a first-person shooter. Grand Theft Auto's San Andreas may be a fantasy but the things it mocks - corruption, greed, hypocrisy and the abuse of power, are very real. GTA V is a direct assassination attempt on the American dream. GTA IV was GTA IV. Its satire is also a result of the attention to detail that goes into making this world feel real and believable.


Grand Theft Auto V's plot is a happy compromise between plausibility and absurdity. It sends you to ride dirt bikes on top of trains, hijack military planes, and engage with cops in bizarre shootouts. But its three main characters keep it relatable, even at its extremes. Their interplay is well-written and performed. I found the most moving and heartfelt moments and laughed out loud. The way they developed their relationships and how my opinions of them changed over the course of the story was what gave it its power. They are people, even though they are extremely f***ed up.


Michael, a retired conman in his 40s, is filling out around his middle as he drinks by the pool in Vinewood with a layabout daughter, air-headed son, serially unfaithful spouse, and very expensive therapist. All of whom hate him. Franklin, a young man living in downtown Los Santos, laments the stereotype of gang-bangers while being reluctantly seduced with the promise of a larger score. Trevor is a career criminal with volatile motives who lives in the desert selling drug and killing rednecks. He's a psychopath whose bloodthirsty lunacy was fuelled by methamphetamines and a very messed up childhood.
