Grand Theft Auto V

  

   The long awaited Grand Theft Auto V hit shelves on September 17^th. With five years in development and a total of $265 million put into production, Grand Theft Auto V gained a ton of fan hype. Day one sales generated $800 million in revenue, making it the second bestselling Xbox 360 game so far.

Players re-visit the fictional state of San Andreas, last seen in the 2004 release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The extensive map can be explored by switching between three different characters: Franklin Clinton, Michael De Santa and Trevor Philip. Each character stands out from any other Grand Theft Auto protagonist before, creating a unique experience for Grand Theft Auto fans.

Everything seemed re-vamped from previous installments of the game. Seamless transitions from gameplay to cut scenes, enhanced battle mechanics and overall better graphics set this game apart from its predecessors. Grand Theft Auto IV introduced the use of a cellphone and Grand Theft Auto V perfected it. Constant harassment and a messy interface of the cellphone in Grand Theft Auto IV left players annoyed and disappointed with the feature. However, Grand Theft Auto V addressed all these issues and enhanced the feature.

The biggest change is the multiplayer feature, which lets players participate in co-operative missions and challenges. Death matches and racing are also available. Missions can be played at the players’ leisure much like in the campaign. The multiplayer will be available on October 1^st.
