So great. (Check out my user review!)
There are lots of tiny (and some not-so-tiny) flaws, but damn if I didn't have a whole lot of fun with GTA V. Los Santos is a magnificently constructed world that's fun to live in, but my favorite part ended up being the characters of Michael and Trevor, and their story. Franklin...not so much.
Addicting and rewarding. You receive enough permanent rewards and feedback to make this rogue-like palatable to someone like me.
An engrossing experience that tells a very moving story. The storytelling that develops from simply exploring a home is fascinating, and a testament to exceptional execution.
Fun, relaxing, music-based platformer. Wish there was a soundtrack for the great music, Beck's especially.
Very moving story that is successfully married to its gameplay in a way that few other games can achieve. Its beautifully-crafted world enhances the experience. And that music...oh man. So good.
