Cons
-Driving can be a pain sometimes (especially when it comes to flying vehicles and boats) compared to previous games cause of the realistic like mechanics (more realistic than previous games)
-Too many chasing missions which repeat the process again and again far more often than in previous GTA games
-Stats, physical appearance, etc from San Andreas removed
-Safe houses reduced significantly and only accessible through storyline terms rather than purchasing like in previous games
