I recently bought this I heard it was bad but had no idea, now I know.
The driving is awful they expect you to chase and be chased when its hard enough getting round corners in one piece.
The missions are tedious and frustrating. They expect you to kill everyone in an entire building then kill all the cops then escape, without any checkpoints. Bad guys hide in cover perfectly they just stick there arms out to shoot you so how are you supposed to shoot them(you have no nades), especially when you've got a time limit because the guys you are supposed to be killing are getting away.
The help is useless. A simple text box in the corner from the original game, which dissapears never to return so some mechanics you forget because everything is so complex, and theres no way of finding out.
Why is it you have a choice is some missions and not others(the choice is meaningless anyway)?
Why does everything go black and white or should I say grey and black.
One saving grace the cutscenes, some of them are funny but its like tourettes, their funny to start with but you begin to see the pattern.
Niko is a confused, contradictory, idiot, at least according to the missions.
You have stupid friends that keep calling you up and you just drive them somewhere then drive them back sometimes, its like the developers are just trying to mess with you.
Why didnt they stick to making it a movie, its what they seem to want to be making as there does not appear to be much of a game.
So does anything improve as you go along, or what fun is there to do(tanks and things)?
