Video: GTA 5 video: first impressions and first look at gameplay Stores across the UK opened their doors at midnight for the special launch of Grand Theft Auto V, allowing fans to finally get their hands on the much-anticipated game. Online retailer Amazon has already sold out of the game which cost more to make than many Hollywood blockbusters and, in certain circles, generated a similar hype. Experts estimate it could generate £1 billion during its first year on sale when gamers are predicted to snap up some 25 million copies - breaking current records. It has received rave reviews from critics across the board who have labelled it "one of the very best video games ever made."
