Stop reading this review, and get this game. From the graphics to gameplay, rockstar has clearly put a lot of love and care into this game. There's a lot to do, and a lot of replay value here. GTA5 takes all the best things from previous rockstar games, and puts them altogether, and then adds some more. The game is obviously very explicit and graphic, aimed toward an older and mature audience. The story is memorable, and the gameplay now has a hint of rpg elements to it. There is a lot of customization here for those who are looking for it. GTA5 really shows off the xbox 360 and ps3 well. Frame rate drops every now and then, but not enough to affect gameplay or to bring one out of the experience. If you liked GTA4 or Red Dead Redemption, you'll love this game. The xbox 360 version comes with two discs, and one will have to install the first disc. It took about twenty minutes. After that load times were usual and consistent. Speaking of load times, it is remarkable how short the load times are with respect to how large and diverse the map is in GTA5. Lots of cars, guns, people, and things to do. If you don't have anything to do for a while, and $60, pick up this game. GTA5 is a great end to a fantastic decade of gaming, as the new consoles are introduced.
