Not that I ever got into that much trouble, too busy playing Alex Kidd... :p Then again maybe I would have taken it as inspiration for all kinds of mischief, I don't know... You know what, nevermind... :) I wouldn't call GTA a 'murder simulator' though... I don't even think this kind of game exists... When I hear those words it makes me think of something like Sexy Beach 3, only with more blood and killing, and probably less bikinis... Someone should make one of those, actually...

The problem wasn't really moving in the wrong direction or slightly altered courses. The entire street felt like a ice-skating rink. I was told the cooler cars handle a bit better, and they did, but they were so few and far between that when I did get one, it completely threw me off. And the bikes, my favorite vehicle in the GTAs, killed me a little inside. I just think maybe they went a little too realistic from what I was expecting, physics-wise at least.

I loved the new weapon store, the taxi system was amazing, and the characters/story, phenomenal. However, I gave it 2 weeks and the driving ruined everything. Heaven forbid I got over 2 stars while driving, I was caught every time. I wouldn't be apposed to playing either if it comes to the PS3, but please tell me: Did they at least tweak the driving?
