GTA 5 gameplay: watch us drive from Franklin's house to Mount Chiliad & more

Grand Theft Auto 5 sees the return of Mount Chiliad from San Andreas. Watch VG247's Dave Cook drive there from Franklin's house and back down again in reckless style. He also shoots up Los Santos pier.

In this first clip, I drive all the way from Franklin's house in central Los Santos to Mount Chiliad. Along the way I use his special focus ability which speeds up your car and slows time to let you slip through traffic unharmed. I also take on a train head-on. I'll leave you to discover how that turns out.

Next, I play as Michael and arm-up with some heavy duty weapons at Ammu-Nation, play around with gun attachments and take on the police force at the Los Santos pier. I try to get on the rollercoaster in the middle of the battle and fail miserably. Check it out:
