Much of the fun however, is in the huge open-world map which players are free to explore, causing all manner of chaos, violence and traffic congestion. Set in the vast city of Los Santos, a hyper-sleazy take on Los Angeles, the incendiary action adventure follows three criminals as they attempt a series of outlandish heists.
With sales of more than 30m copies, Grand Theft Auto V was the biggest game release of 2013 by a considerable distance.
