A year after launching on last-gen consoles, Grand Theft Auto V has finally made the move to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Not a moment of that time was wasted, writes James Cullinane.

Substantial technical improvements make the world a joy to explore; First-person mode draws you into the game in a way the series never has before; Updated stations keep things fresh

Still the odd AI hiccup

Define the games in 2014 and it will likely include the word ‘remastered' somewhere in that definition. Love it or hate it, publishers made lots of money via the re-release concept and now Rockstar have jumped on the bandwagon to rake in their fair share of the loot that's still on offer.

First-Person is not that great | Lightbar effects feel gimicky

I always wanted to see Los Angeles and by playing this game i feel like i already saw it. Really stunning details and graphics. The city is full of life. You can even just play this game for visiting the city.

I would highly recommend a purchase of this game. The enthralling open world adventure, if you'd call it that, is best experienced in this remastered version. It's more than visually pleasing, it's enthralling and captivating at the same time.

Oh my goodness. This game is so much fun! It is such a great game. I have endless hours of fun and there are so many things you can do in this game. You can free play or play on story mode. I beat it already and still play it as much as possible because there are so many hidden Easter eggs!

Never recieved any of my products because they claimed it wasn't me placing the order.

It didn't take long for Michael to leave therapy and immediately revert to his old destructive tendencies, stealing cars, cursing and gesturing profanely out the window at pedestrians, or popping a few oncoming commuters through their windshields.

Incredible and vast open world; Parachute to mountain-bike biathlons; First and last Heist missions; Huge range of radio stations; and scored soundtrack; Ambient missions in a living Los Santos; Strangers and Freaks; (almost) all of them; Frankiln; And Chop too

Huge range of radio stations; and scored soundtrack; Trevor

This is how you do a next-gen remaster. Rockstar has pulled out all the stops to bring GTA V up to speed on PS4 and Xbox One. Beautiful, immersive, essential - it begs to be played all over again.

Brilliant all-new first person mode; Incredibly detailed open-world; Trevor

Occasional GTA Online connection problems; Still the odd bit of pop-in; Trevor

Now, before I start talking about what new toys and features this release has, it needs to be said that a great deal of the content found on the PS4 version of GTAV is exactly the same as it was on the PS3 version .

First-Person mode changes the gameplay; High resolution textures; Same great game - a must play; Lots of new content

First-Person view limits visibility; Only a year away from original release; Mild pop-in

Best story ever! Tennis, Golf, Shooting, Racing, Flying, Strip Clubs, What Not!! Best Graphics ever!
