Our original review has all the details (handily linked in this review), but on the whole there's no sugarcoating what Rockstar has done here, this is not only an update on the original game, it's a supremely superior version that brings more bells and whistles than a bell and whistle traveling salesperson.
From the review:
The base stuff remains the same. You’ll play through the story and all that has to offer, with dynamic options along the way, as you did before. Obviously if you’re a returning player you can make different decisions to the ones you may have before for a different outcome, but the truth is there’s nothing overly new from a campaign sense. Oh, wait there is -- you can play the damn thing in first-person now, which fundamentally changes the game, and in many cases for the better.Click here for our full next-gen GTA V review.

Looking at the screenshots, yes it is a nice looking console game. Still, nothing to write home about compared to what it should look like on PC.
Also, "Certain hardfail scenarios could have been handled with a more dynamic player-driven outcome" Is this fixed? If not, it is a not a perfect game still.

uh oh, #ausgamersgate
Every time I hear the hype about GTA V I think s*** yeah, gonna buy this. Then I see gameplay videos and my enthusiasm dies. It just looks boring. Maybe it's not boring but all the gameplay videos I watch make it seem like it is.

I've been playing the s*** out of the next gen version, slowly working my way through the storyline again but most of my time is spent in GTAO. I kind of gave it a skip on the the last gen systems cause it was so unstable at launch. But now its f*****g awesome experience and I'm having tons of fun in it. Never short of activities to do and randoms to screw over.

Grand Theft Auto V is definitely this, especially more so on new-gen/PC. I'm playing on PS4 and am once again being blown away by just how alive the world feels over the past-gen consoles. Animals are everywhere, people are everywhere and cars are everywhere. The world now feels truly alive, with no emptiness in sight (unless in the sense of desert being deserted). I actually get stuck in traffic because there are more than five cars on the road.
If you haven't played GTA V, or even if you have on past-gen consoles, I definitely recommend grabbing this. You can find it super cheap at typical stores, and the experience is just so damn awesome, especially with first-person mode.

Playing the game in FPS mode is fantastic the game feels brand new again and I notice so many little things that I didn't notice before, well worth playing again.
GTA5 online is fun as always

So the soccer mum petition is doing the rounds again, obviously someone bought it for their kids...

But at the end of the day it means very little, Target is full of bulls*** soccer mums and bratty ass kids. It's a second choice location for buying games, if they don't want to stock something cause it may upset the core demographic of there sales then it makes perfect sense for them not to stock it.
No problems selling 50 Shades of Grey and American History X however.
