When it comes down to the GTA series, I feel this one was a weird step for the series when you take the story into account. It feels more like a Lifetime original show than it does a good plot, but that's just me. The game itself is very polished and will keep you hooked for a good amount of time with all the things you can do, but that can be said about any GTA title. The multiplayer is fun when you have people to play with, but otherwise it's a wild west on there and would take a lot of grinding to get to enjoy the experience to its full extent. Overall I'd recommend the game to someone who has never played a GTA title in their life due to how modern it is compared to San Andreas so that they can see how much fun you can have with a game series like this one.

GTA IV is still better in my opinion just from the story alone, but that's just me.
