In the two-and-a-half months since its hugely-anticipated release, Grand Theft Auto V has rarely failed to live up to its enormous hype and potential.

Fans queued for hours in some cases to help Rockstar achieve said feats, and many even booked time off work just to play the crime game on the day of its release, September 17.
