### 5/5 — Love this game

*2026-08-19, version 1.5*

I gonna play this forever, cause it is the best songgame

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-15, version 1.5*

As an 11 year-old with GTA V this is overall a pretty good 3-D game. I also have a gaming console that has GTA two and over all these games are just so fun and I just really like this game. It’s very like fun and retro and it’s just very nostalgic.

### 5/5 — Игру хорошо сделали

*2026-08-15, version 1.5*

Крутая игра для первой в серии 3д игрой с хорошим и незамысловатым сюжетом, отличными радиостанциями, большим городом и довольно сложными миссиями (миссию kingdom come прошел с 5 попытки). Управление удобное и его можно перенастроить, добавили в игру карту (её не хватало в пк версии) улучшили и сделали модели персонажей цельными (а не те модели что на пк выглядели как конструктор и разваливались на куски) некоторые текстуры сделали в более лучшем качестве, улучшили модели многих машин и т.д. Но у игры есть и минуты: в интернет кафе многие текстуры сломаны (а еще убрали отсылку на гта 2, ее можно было увидеть если посмотреть на экран компьютера) некоторые текстуры стали синими (конусы, деревья, лужи), зачастую не удобная камера и плохо работающий автоприцел

### 5/5 — Obviously great game

*2026-08-04, version 1.5*

I’ve been play grand theft auto since 2002, across all platforms. I bought this game over 13 years ago now and I enjoy the mobile port. It makes time go by a lot faster than doing tasks around like laundry and so on and so forth only problem I have to complain about is the camera. Some of the missions are a little more difficult on here because of the camera problem but the controller support is absolutely great and makes the game seamless transition when coming from consoles

### 5/5 — I like this game

*2026-08-03, version 1.5*

Best game ever

### 1/5 — 니가몬데평가하라마라야

*2026-08-03, version 1.5*

1점던진다

### 5/5 — Great game and I hope GTA 6 is just the same as the others with amazing stories

*2026-08-02, version 1.5*

I love the game but if rockstar makes a remaster version where it makes the old gta games with the same graphics as gta 4 or gta 5 it could bring a lot of old veterans back and new players play the game all over with the amazing story of the gta games. I just hope gta 6 will only be great like the other games and even the future of gta

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-07-28, version 1.5*

Worth buying

### 1/5 — Awful gameplay

*2026-07-24, version 1.5*

Constant freezing & glitching don’t bother with this it’s awful

### 4/5 — Great but controls need to improve

*2026-07-22, version 1.5*

Love the game but I find the controls a lil hard to control, I use a ps4 controller to pay and makes it play allot better but unfortunately the shooting mechanics aren’t good it locks onto anything and everything and makes it hard to complete missions
