[Review Revisited] Grand Theft Auto V

April 19, 2015 | the_nmac

This week on review revisited I thought it would be fun to talk about one of the best experiences on PS3, Grand Theft Auto 5!

Grand Theft Auto 5 is such a special game in the PS3’s library, as it was a giant sandbox offering you hours of things to do and adventures to have. You could do a story mission, take part in a sea-doo race, parachute from the sky, do yoga on the mountain, and finish the day taking a bus tour of Los Santos. I don’t think there is a more varied game experience on the console that can offer the same level of polish. The game is so detailed, and you can really tell a lot of work went into developing this game.

Earlier today, Game Informer gave digital subscribers details of Rockstar Games’ upcoming blockbuster GTAV through the digital release of this December’s magazine. To tell you the truth, I am overly amped for this thing now. Some of the new features sound pretty intriguing, especially the lead character bit and world interactions. Heck, even the sheer size of it all. Here are some details, provided by VideoGamer.com:

• Three playable characters who you can switch between “at nearly any time”.
• Each character has their own specific abilities and story arc, with all three stories intertwined.
• Camera zooms out to a “Google Earth-style” perspective when switching characters.
