GTA 5 games review U1 A2
The target audiences for GTA 5 are people that are aged 18+. The
reason for this is because the game has many features and
resembles to a real gangster life such as having guns, drugs and
power that many people/men would like to experience virtually;
having money, cars and girls. Living the dream as every man would
want to live, but in a video game.
Rockstar made $800 million/ £490 million in the first 24 hours. But
didn’t break the quickest to reach over $1billion.
It was sold for £45-49 on the first day depending on the shop.
2. Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 currently holds the record as the
entertainment release that was the quickest to reach the $1 billion
mark.
Rockstar spent £170 million/ $265 million. It took over 4-5years to
make; scrip’s of all the words, creating the
building/clothes/cars/characters and little extra missions.
Critics said that GTA 5 is disrespectful to women and violent
depicted: the 3 characters are male’s franklin, Michael and Trevor.
There’s a lot of violence in the video game. Rockstar disagree with
this and said “it’s just work of friction, similar to movies or TV shows”
According to Game Informer Magazine, the games critics reviewed
GTA 5 as one of the best games ever to be made. This was the quotes
of the review:
“Michael, Franklin, and Trevor embody the best and worst of what
Los Santos and Blaine County have to offer. You’re both a witness
and accomplice in their crimes. Depending on your personal tastes,
that can come off as being repulsive, funny, or somewhere in
between”.
