Be a skull-headed vigilante in GTA 5

GTA 5 Ghost Rider Mod is a free-to-use mod created for Grand Theft Auto 5. This user-made game utility lets you play as the Ghost Rider, the name of several Marvel superheroes and antiheroes best characterized by a flaming skull head and some form of infernal vehicle. You can now terrorize or hand out punishments to Los Santos as the rider from hell.

This mod joins other superhero-inspired mods for GTA 5 such as GTA 5 Iron Man Mod and GTA 5 Batman Mod. With these mods, you can dress up as a superhero and enjoy the game in a new light.

Play with an awesome skin

At its essence, GTA 5 Ghost Rider Mod is a skin mod. It looks awesome because the game engine provides a skull-headed character in an all-black rider outfit. Unfortunately, the awesomeness ends there. It doesn’t include the signature flames on Ghost Rider’s head. To have this effect, you’ll have to install another mod created by another user. This makes the mod feel incomplete at the very least.

Similarly, there’s no animation that comes with transforming into the Spirit of Vengeance. It feels like typing in the cheat code for any of the in-game skins available. Also, it only makes slight modifications to the existing biker outfit in GTA 5. There’s also no custom skin for the bike to complete the whole “rider” look. Still, it allows you to use his chains although flame powers are not included. 

Lastly, the mod suffers from a few bugs that make gameplay less enjoyable than it should be. It captures the aesthetic of the Ghost Rider well, but switching to his chain weapon sometimes causes a loop to play that makes it appear that his hands are shaking. Also, installing the mod itself requires a bit of technical skills to make it work properly.

A visual treat

For comic book and superhero movie fans, GTA 5 Ghost Rider Mod is a welcome addition to your existing GTA 5 mod libraries. It perfectly captures the visual design of arguably the most popular incarnation of the character: featuring the chains and the spikes on his biker outfit. While it lacks superpowers or the rest of the Ghost Rider getup, it’s still a good mod to try with other user-created utilities.
