For those that rated this game any more than a 6 you must of gotten a different version than I did.

While the graphics were actually really great, the game play was horrible. Just make another movie and leave the gaming to someone else. I mean there were times I kept thinking; did the studio even test the play-ability?

Trying to maneuver Max was really frustrating and about half the time firing from cover was worthless. just to name a few things.

I think I got to only really play just a third of this game, while the rest was stuck watching cut scenes. I mean a few times I watch these five minute scenes only to walk (cant do anything else) through a room/ally (this takes 30 secs) and go into another scene..sheesh. Then you finish a section and spend an eternity watching more. I wanted poke out my eyeballs out and feed em to the crows on my neighbors roof!!

Skip this one and save yourself a lot of frustration. I am just glad for GameFly and the ability to send it packing!

Unapologetically violent with rushes that one could only get from a bottle of pills and a bottle of whiskey, Rockstar blazes a new trail once again. Linear? Totally. And that is the only reason this thing gets 9 instead of 10. But you can see that the engine they're using for this all-out assault on the senses is just a ramp-up for the release of GTA V, and that makes all of us just slightly giddy.
The multiplayer's outstanding, if not a little hard to get a hold of; for those of us who spent hours upon hours with GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption, the controls differ slightly (X for cover instead of RB, for example) and getting a hold of Max's signature Bullet Time and Shootdodge are easy, but hard to master. The single player is unlike anything that's come before it--a gritty, extraordinarily well-written crime noir drama interspersed flawlessly with cutscenes that drop you in and out of the gunplay with lightning speed. That may get old to you, but just listen and watch what's going on, and you'll be engrossed almost immediately.
He's back, and ready to rock. So let's rock.

Game was extremely repetative, kill 50 thugs, wash, rinse, and do it again. Bust your but to save the gal and cut scene you guessed it stand there and watch as a predertimed scene unravels before your eyes making you feel like you just wasted 2 hours of your life. Got through 99% on normal difficulty and got so fustrated at the end I just stuck it in the mail never to finish it again. I never quit games but this one had gotten so mundane and impossible at times I said heck with it. I lost interest in the charachter and the story. Don't waste your time. One other thing if you shoot a cop 10 times youd better have more ammo cause he still aint dead, total BS.
