Persoonlijk heb ik geen tien redenen nodig, maar voor sommige mensen is het net weer iets anders en daarom is deze lijst gemaakt. Mijn favoriet van de tien kan je hier onder vinden.

Radio Still Effective, Score Even Better.


Crank it up, gramps!
Some of my best memories of any GTA game are the radio stations. Not just all the great licensed tracks (except in part III), but all the hilarious talk radio jabber. Hearing "Weasel News: Confirming Your Prejudices" is grin inducing. And yet, in the world of smart phones, how many of us actually still use radio nowadays? Best not to dwell on that. In San Andreas and Vice City this wasn't an issue since they were set in the '90s and '80s, respectively. Here, as in IV, V is set in the present and the writing is effective as it makes fun of Facebook, Twitter, etc. I'm not quite sure what it means that I'm more inclined to listen fictional disc jockey Lazlow Jones than any real radio DJs today.

In a first for the series, many of the story missions now come accompanied by a strong musical score. Red Dead Redemption had to do this since there were no portable radios or Pipboys in the Old West. Nevertheless, I always missed having one even if it made no sense while riding a horse. Having both features in V is fantastic. I can't go back now.

Kenny Loggins, Pam Grier and Bootsy Collins are just some of the guest DJs!
