5. Bike Races & Other Misc. Activities

One of the more enjoyable things about playing Grand Theft Auto online is the thrill of getting into a shootout with an opponent and trying to survive a hoard of crazed machine gun-wielding strangers tracking you down across the map. But there are other ways to kick back and have fun with the online community - ways that don't have to involve bloodshed. One example is taking part in races. Races are a common component in the GTA series - both online and offline. GTA IV had an online mode called "GTA Race" whereby competitors could use weapons to see off the competition during a mad-scramble for the finishing line on a bike or in a car. Okay, so maybe there is bloodshed. Whatever the case, it's a fun online mode and we are hoping to see a new and improved variant in GTA V. Another race type that could be incorporated is jet-ski races or the triathlons from GTA San Andreas. Racing friends up Mount Chiliad on a BMX sounds pretty fun to us.
