But it is well worth exploring as you play, or in between the linear missions: Los Santos boasts a fully operational golf course, tennis courts, you can go to the races – there is even a stock market that you can watch for fluctuations. However, some gameplay needs to be unlocked in the open map area, before you can get the full flavour of what the game has to offer. The city lies in Blaine County, near another city, Los Santos (both also fictional) and all areas can be accessed from the beginning of the game. While much of the game’s scripted action takes place in the city, the world is much larger than previous GTA offerings, and players can explore freely.
The game is set in the fictional town of San Andreas which is based loosely on generic southern California life. You do not pick just one character to play as, the game’s narrative jumps from one character to the next. The game alternates between third-person narrative and play and first-person play, and you play as three criminals trying to avoid a determined government agency and committing heists.
As with the other games in the series, you score points by committing crimes.
Grand Theft Auto V for PC is an action adventure game, the fifth in the GTA series.
