Huge scope for enjoyable gameplay and impressive attention to detail.

Although the single player campaign has some slow moments, this is contrasted with some spectacular set pieces, wonderful characters, humorous moments, and generally perfect voice acting.

Online free-mode is often absolute pandemonium, however there are plenty of opportunities to work together in a team, particularly in the sometimes-frustrating heists mode - in a group of friends you will experience some cracker gaming moments!

The flip-side of the heists mode is that if you attempt to take on a heist with random players’ you can expect long waits in a lobby, with no way to filter to English-speakers, players who quit (or crash) mid-heist dumping the whole team back in to free mode, and they’re rarely fun, or successful.

The races, death matches, team death matches and survival mode are generally good.

The bottom line is, once you’ve had your fun in single-player mode, jump online and assuming you can get together regularly with a bunch of friends, this really is a worthwhile game.
