It has the same character-spanning narrative, takes place in the same gigantic open world of Los Santos, and features the same streamlined gameplay that made GTA V the best game in the series to date. The new game, which launches tomorrow on Xbox One and PS4 (a PC version is slated for early next year), is essentially the same crime-fueled epic from last year. This is Grand Theft Auto V in first person. When I come to rest, I get up quickly and look around for my bike. But I'm moving so fast that I hit the side of a train car and take a nauseating tumble through the brush, watching helplessly as my arms and legs flail through the air. I hit the gas and charge ahead, trying my best to land on the moving vehicle. Then I hear it: the telltale whistle of a train. I'm sitting on a dusty hill, miles outside of the busy core of Los Santos, and I'm waiting.
The bright orange San Andreas sun is blinding, but the tinted mask on my motocross helmet helps dull the effect.
