And this is a just a small chunk of brushland, a speck on a map that, for the first time in the series, is completely open to you from the very beginning,\u201d said the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/technology\/video-games\/video-game-previews\/10033217\/Grand-Theft-Auto-V-preview.html\" target=\"_blank\">Telegraph<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Destructoid were impressed with the variety that was delivered with having the ability to play as any of the three different characters (Michael, Franklin and Trevor) whenever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen off mission, you can play as any of these characters or even just focus on one the entire time. It&#8217;s up to you, but you&#8217;ll want to play as all three if you want to experience everything possible as there will be things that only certain characters can do,\u201d said<a href=\"http:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/grand-theft-auto-v-everything-is-bigger-and-better-252852.phtml\" target=\"_blank\"> Destructoid<\/a> in its preview.<\/p>\n<p>With regards to the combat, <a href=\"www.gameinformer.com\/games\/grand_theft_auto_v\/b\/ps3\/archive\/2013\/05\/02\/running-and-gunning-in-grand-theft-auto-v.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Game Informer<\/a> highlighted that Rockstar has combined the best bits of Read Dead Redemption, the GTA series and Max Payne to make the best combat cocktail for GTA V.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar is taking the lessons learned from all of its previous games to bring the combat into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe characters move effortlessly in and out of cover, while taking care to avoid exposing themselves to incoming fire. A library of new animations also introduces a combat-ready jog that makes it easier to shoot from the hip and even allows players to run, aim, and shoot at the same time. Players can also drop into a combat roll at the press of a button.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The previews also dive into the million other things that GTA 5 offers, such as the heists, extra activities and story elements, and all the impressions are good.<\/p>\n<p>Rockstar also released some new screenshots that you can check out below:<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1
