This graphics and missions are brilliant but they have lost the feel of gta
The new combat is brilliant, finishing moves, combo attacks etc. really brings a new feeling to it instead of the old punch....punch.....punch. gets real boring, real fast.
My problem does not lye in those areas of the game though, the thing i want to bring up first is the gun fights, they are simple and meaningless, i think you could go through the entire game only using the pistol!
Headshots kill instantly and it is the easiest thing in the world to get a headshot on this game.
Second is the really frustrating friends system which by the way is just about as annoying as the fitness rate in san andreas! You'll be driving at 180mph along a road on a mission and all of a sudden roman rings you cuz he wants a "game of darts", OMG!!! i cant handbrake turn whilst my phone is out, SCHREECH, bang, dead. True story. Thats not all of it, its just the constant feeling that because your getting on with the game you feel you have to drop by "little jacobs" or something before he gets upset, which is like someone prodding you in the back of the head whilst your trying to complete the game!!!
And lastly i should like to bring up the lack of achievement in the game, in gta3 you had packages which as you collected meant you got weapons in your garage, in vice city, the same, in san andreas it was graffiti tags which got you weapons. Not only that you could do police, fire brigade, ambulance, ALL GIVING BONUS'S TO GAMEPLAY. In this game "O look i shot 200 pigeons and got an achievement of a few gamerpoints, i think i'll go out back and CELEBRATE!!!
