It tells the stories of three criminals: Michael, a rich former bank robber living under witness protection Trevor, Michael’s old partner in crime and Franklin, the youngest of the three. This is the first game in the GTA series to have multiple protagonists. Similar games include Sleeping Dogs, which is set in Hong Kong, and Saints Row IV, which features similar mechanics but openly makes fun of GTA and other games. GTA V is considered a particularly technically impressive example of open-world games, which can be credited to its huge development team and budget. There is no local multiplayer, but GTA V does have an online multiplayer mode in which players can explore that open world together and team up to carry out heists or stab each other in the back. Grand Theft Auto V is an action game in which players can travel around one large location taking part in different criminal activities: pulling off heists, with lots of shooting and stealing and driving a variety of cars and other vehicles.
