The newest installment of GTA is here. By far the best one of the series. It's the first one in the series to make it to the next gen consoles. Everything is enhanced in the game, from the graphics to the player interactions. Oh and not to mention the amazing online play! Whats better than playing against your friends and hitting them with a car and then laughing with them about it? Nothing really, unless you jack someone up with a knife from behind.
The graphics on this game are remarkable, since it's on the 360 and PS3 now, they have to graphics at there best. You can see every bullet hole on cars and windows. The new stuff they did with the camera are awesome also. There is a new feature that you can use that makes it look like you are inside of a movie! It's awesome. Also, when you shoot someone up close the blood spatters onto the camera like its real life. It's crazy how realistic they can make games now a days!
As for the actual game-play, it's great, the story is long, and has a great amount of cut scenes. You now have a cell phone, so you can call people up on if you want to do a mission or even just hang out and get drunk with. You can also have relationships now, I haven't gone to far into them besides getting lucky a few times with some girls, but other than that I have stuck with missions and finding hidden items on the islands. Online game-play is where it's at though. You can do anything from free roam with up to 16 people, to a team death-match with you and your homies trying to take out the other gangs, it's awesome. Not to mention you can use your cell phone to call people on the other team and rub it in their faces when you take them out. A great feature in my book! You can do more than just go up against your rival gangs though, you can also taem up with three other people online and do a few missions, which is awesome for those of you that like to do something with a purpose besides humiliating one another!
Well, if you like a game that is filled with gun fights, car stealing, sex, drugs, a great story and booze. This would be the game for you. I have competed almost 100% of the game, and I still have loads of fun going bowling, playing darts, and hitting up the bar with people. A must buy for anyone who is a fan of the Grand Theft Auto series or a crazy ass shooter with a story in general, especially those of you with the online play, it's worth the $60 you throw down on this title that will be talked about for years!
