You’ve heard a lot about Grand Theft Auto V, which was released on Tuesday. The game is a satirical criminal epic, unwinding across the sprawling city of Los Santos. But here at HK Magazine we’ve already got our hands on the expansion to GTA, which is set in Hong Kong. Here’s what you need to know.
Three Totally Different Protagonists. Play as the high-achieving doctor, the high-achieving architect, and the high-achieving lawyer. Hidden character: parent-disappointing lifestyle magazine journalist.
A Wealth of Minigames. Three straight hours of advanced Kumon. Wipe the mold off the turtle jelly. Navigate the mind-boggling twists and turns of PCCW’s customer service hotline. (Note: this minigame is currently unwinnable.)
Unforgettable Driving Missions. Tear at breakneck speed through the half-completed Central-Wan-Chai bypass until you’re stopped by a policeman, who tells you to stop being so silly. Hijack a minibus and barrel down the road to Diamond Hill to deliver mooncakes to grandma.
Unique Hong Kong Weapons. You start with a triad chopper that’s great for preparing a seafood feast for your extended family. Later, you are given a gun. You get really nervous, so you hand it in to the police.
Boss-level Weapons. The disapproving glare of your still-disappointed mother.
