Great the Auto 5 is a game where you steal cars, fight gangs and do odd jobs for the local crime boss. Many people compare this to a scaled down version of the Grand Theft Auto series because they share many elements. While this game does have some serious flaws, many people find it fun because there is a lot of action packed into this app.

Main Features

Great the Auto 5 is a game where you are trying to make as much money as possible. The best way to do that of course is by working for the local crime boss. You are given a variety of jobs like stealing cars, stopping rival gangs, stealing from businesses and so on. While most missions will come from the crime boss, there are many other people around the city who can also use your services.

You are able to take any car that you see. From sedans and trucks to high-end expensive vehicles, you can ride every car here. Not only that, but there are a variety of weapons to use. This allows you to customize how you play the game. Maybe you like faster cars and automatic weapons, or instead you'd prefer a more durable truck with a reliable shotgun. All of this is possible with Great the Auto 5.

Advertisements

Like with many free games, Great the Auto 5 has advertisements to ensure the developers make money. These ads usually show up while you're playing the game. They seem to be triggered when you accept and finish missions, but they can show up even as you're walking around the city.

While this is annoying, it does seem that the advertisements are turned off when you're working on a mission. This means you shouldn't have to worry about an ad appearing during a tense standoff between you and a rival gang.

Empty Feeling

Even though Great the Auto 5 is set in a busy city, the environment feels very empty. There are few people walking around and only some cars here and there. The buildings have poor textures and there are no trees or anything adding life to the city. While this ensures that nothing gets in your way while driving, it does detract from the environment.

Steering Issues

One of the best things about this game is that you can drive a variety of cars through the city. At the same time, there are issues with steering and controlling your car. The steering is very difficult and only a few cars seem properly balanced. Sometimes the steering is far too sensitive and you'll fly in either direction. Other times the steering is very stiff.

Not only that, but the cars don't seem to be programmed to interact with water. There isn't much water, but your cars will immediately stop if they touch any. This can be annoying if the mission places you near an area with water.

Pros

  • There are many missions you can complete.
  • A large variety of weapons and vehicles.
  • Fairly easy to play.

Cons

  • Steering is difficult.
  • Lots of advertisements.
