OMG it got a TEN O_O.
Come on guys.

I haven't in any way beat this game, I only played the first few missions and messed around online with friends a few times. And then it just sat there and took up my shelf space, I never looked back.

You know why?? Because this game is a serious..SERIOUS bore. Where do I start? Well the story. The story wasnt that bad honestly, but it wasnt enough to keep me playing. Car jacking, I remember the old days when cars didnt run you over when you stood in front of them. Hijacking cars has gotten alot more difficult with the citizens fighting back, and I must say as realistic as it may be, I am not a fan.

Now, onto the guns. The guns seem to play all the same with exceptions to the sniper and the rocket launcher. The rocket launcher, for someone who enjoys blowing things up, was incredibly disappointing. The only thing you could blow up was the cars, shoot a rocket into the side of a building, nothing happened. That frusterated me. And blowing up car after car got incredibly repetitive, I mean its not even like car parts flew everywheere impaling the unfortunate people standing nearby, which would be realistic AND awesome. But no..just incredibly disappointing, anticlimatic controlled explosions. SIGH.

Now the sniper was truely the only fun weapon in the game. You could get yourself on top of a building and look down shooting people on the street like fish in a barrel, watching the cops swarm around looking confused. I'll admit that entertained me for a little while. But when youv've done it once the fun is over.

Now, vehicles. We'll start with cars, boring looking crs drive boring as usual, But even when you get those really fast cars, you think "this is going to be so fun!" But no. Don't kid youself. You won't be able to go over 100 mph for very long on account of how crowdud the city streets are. Even the one bridge in the game is crowded. It is no fun to get a nice car, only to crash it trying to use it's awesome speed capabilities.

Helicopters. For one, driving a helicopter is no simple task. "am I going forward? I can't tell, I think I'm just getting higher. how do I turn this stupid thing?" Also, it's very very sad, when you go up in a helicopter only to find out you can see the boundries of THE ENTIRE MAP. Well gee, I guess I've seen all I can see now, yes? Just look at how disappointingly small that map is.
SIGH.

Boats. Boats drive fine, but theres nothing in the water and no reason at all to even drive one. The most fun Ive had in a boat was to drive as far as I can away from the city. I couldnt even see it as a speck anymore. I think thats all they are good for. WAIT you can do that with a helicopter too. Well then, why drive a boat? I dont know.

Now onto crashing cars on purpose, it's very frusterating when your trying your very hardest to do large ammounts of damage to your wehicle, like a deranged stuntman, only to inflict but a few anticlimatic dents. The only parts that ever fly off are your hood, and maybe a wheel but I dont remember ever losing a wheel. In my opinion cars should explode into a million pieces of car guts.

You can see ALL this game has to offer within a few hours. And none of it is worth repeating. I give it a 5 out of 10.

I forgot to mention the sky. Sun up, sun down, sun up, sun down, EVERY 5 MINUTES. That was quite annoying.

If I had to make this game better I'd model it after GTA Vice City. I miss the cartoony, sunny style. And weapons like the sword. And the bloody decapitations. THAT was a fun game.

i have vowed not to play this game and as i have stuck to this i have no right to say its crap. but thts not gna stop me.
i played 3 - alright and obv revolutionary but imperfect at the same time
i played vice city - the highpoint of the series because the maps small enough to memorise
san adreas - ridiculous and way too life consuming - very sad when it tries to be so realistic

i know im annoying but its really only because everyone likes it so much. people forget about the world of games and even the real world. final fantasy is acceptable because it is such a pure piece of escapism.
i dont particularly resent the slog missions of gta but they take out the surrealism when they r so important.

just thought i should say sumin ;)
ill be here all week
