Third Person Shooter (TPS)
GTA 5, also known as the greatest selling game of all time, is a perfect example of a third person shooter, with brilliant story telling. Told as if watching a film, the story of GTA is told through cut scenes, and real time in game scenes, controlled by the player himself, giving them the power of choice in some cases. The player plays as three characters, Trevor, Franklin and Michael. Trevor, being the psycho of the group, has a hard life living a lie, believing that his best friend is dead. Franklin, a young hood boy from the streets, gets himself involved with gangs, as his cousin, Lamar, drags him into it. Last but not least, Michael, a middle aged married man ,supposedly deceased , with 2 kids, and a mansion of a house to his name, recently retired from being a full time thief but now wants the adrenaline back. So ends up working with both Franklin and Trevor, to do jobs of thieving.
