I've been waiting a long time! Many improvements and usual good!

I've been waiting a long time! How many of you determined I have waited a long time on the game and me probably the last game for my Xbox 360 bought (luckily I was able to keep it yesterday in his hands and therefore had little time to play). It has already been written in the press and in Trailer much to the game and shown, yet I want to give my personal rating.

First, the most important question: Is it a good game and the wait has been worthwhile?
Answer: Yes! For every GTA fan a must! There are many new features and usual good of its predecessors has been maintained! However, it shows that the console run at their boundaries :)

But now in detail:

Technology:

1. Graphics
Although the graphics are not as highly rendered trailer but compared to other games or the predecessor very well. There are great views and a beautiful underwater world. Given the beautiful presentation of the next gen consoles (eg watchdog) sees the game but a bit weak out (but is also a comparison of apples to oranges ^^) and for 5-8-year-old hardware is it really great. Later PS4 / Xbox One version would give the whole but still the "icing on the cake.

2. Charging time
Load times are a bit high at the beginning. During the game, but very low (hiss emissions). Exploring simple get no loading sequences. Super! When switching between the people charging time is very skilled in a transition effect (rauszommen from the old person and in the other zoom in) laminated. Schick!

3. Frames
The game is very fluid and I can find no stutter. However, smaller Nachladefehler in which the textures were visible recharged (rarely).

4. Sound
The sound promotes the game feeling. Varied voice / radio stations and effects. Of course, everything in digital (with me 5.1) sound.
The voices are always in English with sub Tittel. Linguistically, the characters are different but clearly you can see the American origin. Significantly, it is the strong slang and curse words most frequently used. Somehow it belongs to GTA and would otherwise be authentic. The subtitles will however gladly translated and trivialized something free. Super is that story dialogues are interrupted, for example a collision, thus the game looks a bit more realistic.

5. Control
Accustomed and intuitively captures well the controller. I have the game turned on and was able to start playing immediately. A few new features, such as the people change are explained and introduced necessary in a mission. This way you can quickly exhaust all functions of the game.

Gameplay (Attention partially with spoilers):

1. Getting started
Los bank robbery! Huh, where am I? .... So I felt. Man is thrown directly into the game events and packed directly. Unfortunately, I did not quite understand the meaning and the people. This is only little by little in the course of story. Therefore, I felt a bit by surprise. I would have liked a slightly softer entry (eg a video), but is certainly a matter of taste.

2. Story
The story or the individual stories? The question I find a little difficult to answer. It is started from the perspective of a person and then after the intro is to a whole other person. Shortly afterwards, the stories run together but. A little later two main characters are no longer playable and you play the crazy enemies.
Conclusion, you do not really know who and who is good and evil which is the goal. But little by little fit individual facets into a larger whole image (= the story) together. Beautifully told and some challenges. Super!

Is enriched throughout the many side quests and other nice entertainment facilities (tennis, fair, strip club.)

3. Persons
There are numerous people in the game. These include multiple playable characters, levelbare crewmembers, Quest NPCs and various free NPCs.
Managed, I find that each playable character its own strengths / weaknesses, which by Traning (eg endurance increases by cycling) can be improved. In addition, each character has his own wallet and Equipment (a probe vehicle has any character from the beginning).
In addition, each character has its own history and goals. In another spillover or fronting

4. Interactions
One can use some NPCs act (eg in strip club) and depends happened. Also, events are shown on the map at random, for example, allow a Geltransportüberfall or make oneself part of an attack. Particularly positive I noticed that Quest NPCs reminiscent of a. So you have to buy in a Mission dress for a job interview and the next time you visit the Cash asks for the success of the interview. Partly choices in quests (eg do you want your wife to help to escape from the police or not) offered.
Overall, the game looks very lively and your decisions have an impact on the game (as well but I do not know)
So even a woman is looked up, the passes (if you are not a certain time moves)

5. Vehicles / Outfits
GTA typically there are a bunch of vehicles and outfits. Depending on where you are staying one sees but certain. For example, in the Noble District more sports cars and in Outland more Jeeps. Now more vehicles (eg bicycles) are gotten with z. T. special functions (eg a tow truck, which has a hook on which the vehicles can be docked). As usual, you can cause damage to vehicles and even drive around among others lights. Here I noticed that one needs a certain speed otherwise the traffic light stops the car)
Another new feature is that the NPCs in the vehicle remain visible at eg vans and rumgeschüttelt.

6. Buildings / Shops
GTA also typically there are a variety of buildings and shops. There are different zones, such as those already mentioned Noble District and Outland. Depending on where one is staying see buildings from different and there may be other things to buy (noticed in clothing). Thus, like cost $ 4,000 a suit in the Noble District.
I particularly like that you can go out in and in a business with no loading time. The clothes can be found visually in the store and also in quest buildings you can walk around freely.

7. Map
The map is large and there are several different areas. Apparently you can explore from the beginning the whole map, because the beginning is black. Only where you are staying a little piece of card is visible. I think that's a good idea and reminds me of Command and Conquer ^^.

Conclusion: I find the game very well done. GTA trumps with many new features, beautiful Inzenierungen and reserves usual good at concepts. Highlight I find the split story that can be experienced in individual fragments and thus slowly open the player the world of GTA 5.
-> Strong buy recommendation and my personal game in 2013 for Xbox 360 / PS3
