In terms of sales, I guess the answer is probably, no. We all expected GTA to sell like it has before with Vice City, San Andreas and GTA IV. But in terms of game play, we feel it is better than expected, for various reasons. The freedom is one thing, and you’re not just able to do more activities than ever before, such as golf and tennis, you’re also able to switch characters so you’re not limited to one individual. You can even switch character during missions, which is a superb addition.

Vehicle-wise there are improvements too. Previous GTA game shave allowed you to drive a range of boats cars and planes, but GTA V has taken it a step further with vehicles such as submarines. Each of the main characters is different, and character selection has been extremely careful, which is probably why it works so well. The increasing sales show GTA V is better than before, and the long wait for release was well worth it.
