seriously, i've played some god awful video games in my time but this one takes the cake. i bought it because everyone and their mother was saying it was the best game they'd ever played. and i guess it just goes to show people are retarded. i took this game back to the store after playing it for 2 days.

cars are your primary mode of transportation in this and any other gta game which rockstar seems to have forgotten this time around because each and every car in the game handles like a dead cow on a sled hill. the excuse being to give the game realism so you can't turn the cars at 60 miles an hour without spinning out, tje reason anyone would want this feature in a game is beyond my understanding.

in every gta game the supporting characters have been real jerkwads. this one is no exception, the difference being that in this one you are forced to interact with these jerkwads on a regular basis playing mindless stupid minigames that aren't that fun in real life.

in most gta games you start out working for some crappy mobster but in this one the mobster is much crappier than usual. it's like working for a 400 lb baby with explosive diahrea you have to follow behind him with a shovel and catch whatever he's throwing.

the main character, nico bellic, is a tosser, the main characters in gta are always likable with an asterisk but this guy is just plain not likable, oh yes he's "developed" with his imigrant accent and all that but in reality he has all the depth of a background character and the problem is in order to get behind a character usually it requires you to relate to him, and nico is unrelatable, so even if the gameplay was fun you feel so detached from it all that it never really sinks in.

the problem with this game is one word, realism. except the real world sucks most of the time. thats why we invented forms of entertainment like video games, they are an escape from reality. if you take an escape from reality and make it realistic you sir missed the point in it's entirety.

one of the worst games ever made and the most shameful winner of so manny undeserved awards.
