I purchased this game with great anticipation. However, after trying to play through the first chapter, I had to refrain myself from throwing my controller at my hd tv....omg! Trying to control the character is SO AWFUL, I cannot even start to express my frustration! Let me explain, you are constantly fighting the engine to obtain and control focus....THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! After playing GTA4, I cannot accept such horrible player mechanics. I will admit the cinematic cut scenes are impressive but get very old after 20 minutes. To my understanding concerning the history of this title and the development process is one of a, "show us" why we should keep funding this product?"...I feel the developers got so caught up in trying to impress management to keep funding the project with video with the clips of recording the game displaying the visual eye candy, they lost focus and missed the mark on the game play.
On another note, what is with the far east music? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate ethnic musical melodies in games....when appropriate. The score does not work at all considering the setting is in NYC!
I wish to sell this game.....anyone interested?
