GTA V tells its story from the perspective of three playable characters -- Franklin, Michael, and Trevor – a well-known fact about the game at this point, but still a bold and daring choice for Rockstar to make. I admittedly harbor fears that a more focused experienced based on a lone character might actually be the desired path for an adventure like this to take, and yet it rapidly became clear that this trifecta of characters makes GTA V quite different from its amazing predecessors. Indeed, this design choice represents the single biggest change in the series since the jump from 2D to 3D over a decade ago, especially when it comes to how each character interacts with each other within the confines of Grand Theft Auto V’s all-new, robust mission structure.
Rockstar admitted during the course of the demo that the studio is striving to create “the ultimate open-world game” with Grand Theft Auto V, and these three interweaving characters represent a focal point in their attempt to do just that. With rare exception, all three avatars are playable at virtually any time and can be switched on the fly with only a brief period of loading in-between. Each is integral to the success of the main narrative, but can also undertake his own litany of sidequests and ancillary activities. The way they work with each other will prove pivotal, and yet each is his own man with his own set of problems, desires, and goals, and the game encourages you to explore their stories individually as well as collaboratively. And of course, each is expertly voice acted.
