This game while decent is far over-rated.

- Cars cant corner for shit, they grind gears, and using the handbrake is like pouring oil over the road.

- Controlling Niko is like getting some kid with ADD to walk in a straight line.

- What fucktard choose the soundtrack

- Why is it always dark, I mean you drive, and you smash you headlights, and your fucked.

- The GPS is really fucking annoying

- Auto-aim is great, if you were able to then move the crosshairs away from the target, Manual aim is a pain in the ass

- The camera is fucking retarded alot of the time.

- New fight system is retarded.

- A small coupe, and a fucking firetruck, do not handle ANY differently.

Jesus, why am I playing this shit.

LOL this is the funniest post you have ever made.

Maybe if you weren't such a tard you would understand how to use the game mechanics.

Driving is easy once you are used to the new engine. The GPS works fine other than very minor glitches that don't even happen frequently. Fuck, it even updates on the fly.. what more could you want.

The fight system is light years better than the old fight systems. Once you grasp the concept of pressing more than just one button like a retard, it is great. And you are an idiot if you don't notice the differences in handling between vehicles.

Though, considering you like mostly horrible music I'm not surprised you don't like the soundtrack.

I disagree with every single point you made, here.

- Slow down to turn and use the normal break, don't use the handbreak - this isn't a stunt game, it's more based on reality. Though I'll say that it's a bit slippery, once you've adapted to it it works wonderfully.

- How about pressing the left thumstick up? Seriously, that's a retarded complaint.

- I don't mind the soundtrack, in fact I like it, but it's a personal taste thing.

- Maybe bring the brightness up? I can see fine without headlights at night, but obviously having them on helps.

- The GPS is one of the best new additions. Now you don't have to guess that if you go on this overpass you have to double back. I can't believe anyone would complain about it.

- I can pull off headshots in manual aim and I can switch between targets in auto aim. Don't see what your problem is.

- I haven't noticed many camera issues. Then again, I tend to manually control camera in every game I play, moreso than most people I would guess, so they may exist.

- The fight system is awesome and much more realistic than any previous game. Don't know what the fuck you're on. (Then again most people can't grasp it.)

- Yeah, they do.

Seriously, most of your points are from a learn to play standpoint. Is the game perfect? Fuck no, no game is "perfect" and the game does have its flaws. But you shouldn't have gone into it expecting GTA:SA in Liberty City. I expected a completely different game and a learning curve and I beat that curve within three hours of playing.

That said, the ONE major problem I have is the cover system. It's fine if you stay in one place/on one wall, but moving from, for example, car to car, isn't great and usually doesn't work at all, if it's even supposed to.
