A Different Grand Theft Auto?

On September 17, Rockstar will release Grand Theft Auto 5, and the question on everybody's minds is: is this a different GTA, as in the past little has change in the franchise, with the exception of better graphics in the newer installment. Today we put this question to the test! From the countless videos and articles I have read about the game, I have come to one conclusion, one that many other fans agree with, that this is indeed a different Grand Theft Auto. The game is set in satirical Southern California styled city called Los Santos, the diversified environments of the city are fascinating, from the slums, to the back country, to suburbia, other GTA's have attempted this before but none seem to be comparable to Los Santos. In the previous installment the only differences in neighborhoods, was the type of cars you could steal and the wardrobes of the pedestrians, in this installment the very behavior of the pedestrians change, and different activities associated with each environment is totally different, from hunting in the back country, to buying drugs in the hood, or buying real estate in suburbia. One other big change of the franchise is the ability to player with the three protagonists: Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. Like the diversity of the city each character is completely different and each has a distinct personality. With three protagonists players can use different vantage points to complete missions, and are able to switch from one character to the next whether they are completing a mission and are in the same room or across town allowing for voyeurism and to see what each character usually does. The game also allows the gamer more independence as gamers are given the responsibility of setting their missions as they see fit. Amongst the changes are a wider array of games and sports to play, types of investment to invest, and cool things to buy. One of the most anticipated change is the Grand Theft Auto multiplayer, however very little information has been reported. However I encourage all GTA fans and those who are not but are looking for a great game to buy, to buy GTA 5 on September 17.
