Unusually, the entire map will be open to the player right from the start of the game, like in [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars|GTA Chinatown Wars]], rather than being restricted to a small corner or island until the game permits you to continue. This is in keeping with GTA V's philosophy of letting the player do whatever you want to do, rather than being forced to do certain things at a certain time in a certain way. Each playable character lives in a different area, which will help players explore several areas of the map at once. | Unusually, the entire map will be open to the player right from the start of the game, like in [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars|GTA Chinatown Wars]], rather than being restricted to a small corner or island until the game permits you to continue.
