Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA 4) Message Board  

Driving is harder still good i like if u shoot people i the leg they limp and stuff kool and amazing graphic with everything i give it 9.5/10 also how do u rob stores/hold up

Yeah, the graphic is really awsome, i also really like that if u shoot them in the foot and i agree that the driving was a little bit harder then san andreas but it was much cooler, much more realistic

My thoughts:

The game is too hard and frustrating to be fun. If you retry a mission you invariably have to drive halfway across the map to get to the mission, which is just annoying and pointless.

I won't be playing it again.

The driving is definitely a lot harder now, since you can't take corners at stupid speeds and getting away from cops is hard at times compared to older games.

BUT I like a challenge and I'm a die hard GTA fan. If it wasn't for GTA 3 I would never have started playing video games, I'm not going to give up on it after playing for a couple hours. The cutscenes are funny and the graphics and world detail are AMAZING, I think this will be just about the best game I've ever played, it's definitely seeming like that so far.

I've played it for more than a couple of hours, I have all three islands unlocked and I'm at 43% complete.

Its just a letdown is all...

The unrealistic driving as an aside, its very repetitive, and having to repeat the same "drive to the mission location" bit hundreds of times when you find a difficult mission is just annoying.

You don't have to drive there every time. You can take the train or call Roman to send you a Taxi.
