The Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA5) video game is an awesome new version well worth the $60 price tag.

The game is more realistic than all previous versions. During the course of the game, players have to handle real-life errands. They have to pay their rent or get evicted from their homes and they have to gas up their vehicles or their cars will run out of gas.

The cars are more realistic, too. Players feel like they’re really driving a Bugatti during the video game.

Plus, the graphics are cleaner, crisper and brighter than previous versions.

The appeal of the game itself is still the same: The entire game allows players to live a second life doing sordid things that they probably wouldn’t do in real life, such as smoking weed, drinking, murdering, robbing banks and stealing cars. After all, the game is called “Grand Theft Auto 5.”

Only the fifth version lets a player have three different identities during the same game. Players can keep switching out who they are, adding complexity and excitement to the game.

The wildly popular game has been selling, selling, selling ever since its release on September 17. It made $1 billion in its first three days of sales, according to Guiness World Records.

It is by no means an appropriate game for impressionable minors because players break many laws in the course of the game. But for those who are old enough to separate the game from reality, it’s thrilling to be a high school honor student by day and a thug by night in front of a TV.

As sweet as the game is, it does have a few flaws. One flaw is that the players have to drive several miles to go on missions. This is annoyingly life-like. And the overall entire game is somewhat short. It’s possible to beat the game in a couple of days. Maybe the game needs to add more missions.

All things considered, it’s a spectacular game, and if parents believe their kids can handle the violence and reckless behavior of the game, they should get it for their kids or allow their kids to buy it for themselves.
