Grand Theft Auto: V
Grand Theft Auto: V, the latest installment in the Grand Theft Auto franchise is a vast open world based video game that grabs the player by the throat and keeps you up all night playing non-stop. Unlike previous Grand Theft Autos, Rockstar, the game’s producer lets you play as three main characters instead of one: each with their own unique personalities and stories. This time, it is nothing short of that very essence which makes the game so real, but also an epic fiction.
The concept in the game is very well put together. “Grand Theft Auto: V is not only a preposterously enjoyable video game, but also an intelligent [and sharp-tongued] satire of [modern] America. It represents a refinement of everything that Grand Theft Auto: IV brought to the table [five years ago]” – IGN. Grand Theft Auto: V takes place in the insanely huge city of Los Santos. Influenced by the city of Los Angeles in California, Grand Theft Auto: V has a lot of very similar famous attractions and locations. The three main characters in the game are Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. Grand Theft Auto: V introduces these main characters one at a time, giving you a good while to see what they are like and how they live. Out of the two, Michael and Trevor go way back in a criminal friendship with totally opposite personalities; with that come huge problems. GTA V is a big melting pot of the things gamers want in a video game. “The tale of Michael, Trevor, and Franklin’s partnership is an [adolescent] boy’s power fantasy, a [ridiculous] litany of rash decisions punctuated by screaming matches and fueled by rage.” – TechHive. Franklin on the other hand, is just trying to get by in life, dreams of living large and getting away from the ghetto slums of Los Santos. He struggles with his best friend Lamar and his Aunt who believe there is no way to get out of the hood. He and Michael initially meet when Franklin’s boss, Simeon, calls Franklin and orders him to reposes a
