Sorry wrong game... I havent played this yet... I meant GTA4
OK, the graphics are great and the game isnt bad, but it could have been much better. There is too much traffic in areas that are hard enough to drive through, it forces you to drive much slower than you might like. There are even obstacles placed right in spots that would make excellent short cuts, it's as if they want you to drive slow. Then there is the handling of cars and even worse, motorcycles. They seemed to make the cars handle almost too real, but I dont think they even handle as well as real cars, and the good ol JCP600, forget about it, it drives like a brick, slow and clumsy and if you wreak (and you will) you will be injured so bad you will need to find health. after a while it becomes a pain in the rear. I miss the fun driving, if I want to drive slow in traffic, I would just get in my car at 5:00 pm and hit the road, ahhh good ol traffic, its what everyone likes right?...Nope! Then, if not bad enough that they took away the fun in driving, but they took the fun out of being able to steel a car or shoot your guns, cuz if you do the police light up every time and then you have to run away until you loose them, oh and pay n sprays, if a cop is anywhere near you, he will see you go in and you cant use it. Soooo, every 10 minutes or so you have to run away from the cops again and again and again and again and... well you get the idea... it gets very repetitive . Seems they forgot the reason for playing a game is to do the things you cant really do in real life, like hall but down the streets on a JPC and not have to worry too much about loosing control so easy and killing yourself in one shot.
