I love GTA games, I've played every one of them since they started back in the days when GTA 1 & 2 was still top view 2D. It is a great concept which makes great games, that is if it is implemented properly. That is where the problem comes. GTA 4 on the pc is like a great car but the wheels fall of every 4 blocks. So if you are not prepared to stop every 4 blocks and fix your wheels, you'll be disappointed. I know game experiences may vary from user to user. I've had problems from the beginning but it was just tolerable. Recently however it became unplayable even with the latest patch installed. I replayed 1 mission because the previous time it bombed out with a RESC10 error, after which it bombed out again. So I restarted the game, turn down my graphic settings even more and tried again. This time I didn't even get to finish 1 mission, the game just froze after 3 minutes so I gave up. So please don't waste your money or time with this "great console" game that has been rendered unplayable by porting (trying to port) it to pc.
