"Good game, 'nough said."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

By now you should know that GTA V is a bloody good game. It's been out for long enough that you must have seen a gameplay or even played it yourself but don't own it. So your reading these reviews for no reason because you know what the game is like. Just buy it.

"What you'd expect"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

We all know what to expect from this game, but in typical mighty ape style the price is fiercely competitive in comparison to the competition. Split with your better half now and cancel plans with friends because this will have you spending a lot of time glued to the TV seeing what Trevor does next.

"GTA game of the year-"
5 stars"

GTA was the best game in my opinion this year it had a really good story line but even thought online was a real **** up the game is a must have and I would not be surprised if it got game of the year.

"Blimp and Game"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The Blimp code that people get with the pre – order will be in the email that people use to sign in with at MightyApe. The code will most likely arrive once the game has arrived at your door.

As for the game it is amazing. Nice graphics and a nice story to play. alot more content into the game aswell. A must have game!

"whole better than parts"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A good effort from r*, even if they failed miserably to anticipate online demand, the single player game will provide most with endless hours of gameplay, but as someone who has played GTA since it was 2d, this was a bit of a disappointment. The game looks great and for the most part plays well, but NPC behaviour is laughable, interactions are boring and predictable, cars don't indicate and constantly collide with each other and overall the game doesn't feel very polished, physics have improved in some areas but wildly declined in others. I wish they would have focused on the core elements of gta and refined them rather than try to cram in as much as possible and not really perfect anything. Still a great way to blow a few hours and a must have title, but don't buy the hype, 7/10.

"The game has arrived"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Once again due to Mightyapes Lack of support “What a surprise” I pre-order the game and dont get the code for the blimp Why mightyape why- The game play different to vice city so if your buying it to remember Vice city you will be upset its all about San andreas meets vice city. Look wasnt impressed with the game mechanics and Its def not worthy of game of the year but Ohh Well it is what it is…I just want my blimp…Although game play in reguards to being able to change ur character is cool. Just sucks you have to kill one off. Why create a 4th spot but leave it empty-

"What a let down..."
1 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

After playing it for the last 5–6 hours I am gutted. They absolutely butchered the driving mechanics. There's no physics anymore it's dummed down and the driving is no longer enjoyable. The damage engine is basically removed too. Crashing into a brick wall at full speed won't even dent the front of the car. It is NOTHING like GTA4. Waste of money. Unless you like crappy arcade racing game physics.

"Good yes, great maybe, perfect no."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

So this is surprisingly the hardest review I've had to do for a long time. It's easy to jump on the bandwagon and just say GTA V is the greatest game ever, but it isn't without its flaws. Not saying its not a great game, but perfect, is is far from.

For starters the story is very good and it is quite long, but being forced into side missions and the linearity of it can get boring, although the main missions can more than make up for this. The graphics are pretty much at the peak of what the consoles are capable of and they look amazing for the most part, up close they still show a little bit blurry, but they've done well with the performance of the hardware.

The physics engine is really in depth but it can be times a little overdone. For example the cars have damage from individual panels, glass, tyres, axels, rims, suspension, engine, transmission and brakes, nearing simulation levels. But if you try to climb something that's just outside of your limits (a non-climbable object, a fence thats slightly too high, a bank thats just a little too steep, etc.) you'll find yourself ragdolling unrealistically.

The AI can be really bad as vehicles will randomly change lanes and ram you off, or into things. The police seem to have vector aim at all times as they move to your exact location even when they don't know where you are, and they will even change course to follow you even if they don't know you have changed direction (you can see them do it on the mini map), they shoot directly at you even if you're behind cover, in fact the easiest way to avoid them is to move off road because cops are inclined not to leave the road unless they have you in line of sight, making it near impossible to escape when helicopters chase you.

The amount of content in this game is very high with (according to the wiki) over 250 vehicles, with more to come via DLC. Weapons are customisable to an extent: (extended clip, flashlight, suppressor, scope, tints). Vehicles are also customisable: (armour, bodykit parts, brakes, engine, exhaust, suspension, etc.). You can make investments such as the share market, and buying properties for extra cash. There are also a bunch of mini games and collectables to keep you occupied for a while.

The online mode works okay but the unnecessary, unskippable tutorial is a real pain. Also as you start out, you will find yourself at a major disadvantage against others who have massive weapon and armour advantages (e.g. They have advanced rifles with scopes and full body armour, you have a pistol and no armour, well balanced Rockstar…). You create your online character from scratch with appearance, base stats, outfit, etc. Rockstar have stated that heists and other content (Custom game creation, vehicles, weapons, mini missions, etc.) will come for GTA online as both free and paid DLC at a later date.

All and all it's a good game and worth playing even if only for the single player story, but repetism and little glitches can at times ruin the experience.

"Where is it-"
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

After reading Simon's review I find myself in the same boat. Get your act together Mighty Ape and get the games to people as promised. If you cant supply the games let us know so we can make alternative arrangements! The star rating does not affect the game more the might ape service or lack there of! Of course you know it is impossible to accurately review a game before playing it :)

There is just so much to see and do in GTA 5 that you begin to feel lost. However it's engrossing story and memorable characters make sure that the entire experience is the best you will play for years top come.

"Worlds Best 2013"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game has brought a new meaning to open world games. Rockstar has not only merged a all of their games into one but has created the realism to go go with it. From customising cars like in Mid night club to the weapon menu Red Dead Redemption oh yeah don't get me started on the characters. All in all this is worth more than 5 starts 10/5!

"Amazing!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is the first GTA I've ever played to completion, the others I just free-roamed and didn't play the story. In GTAV, I was REALLY invested in the characters and the story, it was hard for me NOT to finish the story. Now that I've completed the campaign, all I'm waiting for is GTA Online!

Awesome graphics, storyline pretty good, multiple characters to play makes for hours of entertainment. Now that online works that's great fun with friends but pretty boring on your own. Can't wait to see how they improve this as time goes on.

"Still a lot of fun with beautiful graphics"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

More of the same that I've come to love. Somehow there isn't the same humour and I wasn't comfortable with the introduction of torture in a mission – that's going too far for me. I was disappointed that you can't eat to get health and that you can't save photos offline, but these are minor things. I like that you can change characters. A pity there isn't a hard-arsed woman character (some females play the game too) – maybe next time.

"Graphics"
5 stars"

Do not install for xbox it will make the game graphics drop !!
