Grand Theft Auto Pt.2

Next I will talk about both the driving controls, and the AI for both vehicle's and pedestrians.
First up, driving controls, "laughs" where should I start? hmm? to say that they take some practice in using them is a complete understatement. Normally in previous GTA games way back when, you would use buttons on the analog pad to control driving. Now I can only speak for the 360 version, I like the fact that you utilize both trigger's RT&LT to accelerate and use your handbrake, and also to back up. What I don't like is the fact you also use the left thumb stick to adjust the camera. Umm? I'm using that to steer the car "chuckles" and the right analog stick is used for free movement. Wtf? I realized this when I had to do my first chase, I kept moving the RT analog stick to adjust the camera. Let's just say it to took me several times to complete the mission, which is find most frustrating about the game. Nice going Rock Star, way to think outside the box guy's "rolls eyes".

Next, let's move on to AI both car and pedestrian's. Let's start with car AI, is too much to ask to have intelligent car AI? I am tired of seeing piss poor car AI, okay this is what I am talking about. I am in the middle of high speed chase, and you would think that vehicle's would want to stay out of you way? Hell no! Is it me?or is it more majority of the vehicle's are being driven by females? The one's I have the most problem with?

Next, we'll talk about pedestrians, again the high speed chase, you would think once again they try to avoid you? Right, and god! heaven forbid you run a couple over, Because then you wanted level goes up. And not only do you have to lose you wanted level, before you can complete the mission. Remember the good ole' day's when you could run them over and not worry so much about your wanted level? And I have read several, reviews in which they stated it was easy to get away from the police? Bullshit! even if get out of your current wanted zone, if another cop spots you the chase will keep continuing. And eventually, you run out road allot of time I would just crash and kill myself just to end the stupid chase.

What ever happened to "if ain't broke? Why? fix it?" in my opinion they totally fucked up this game. On the other hand, I like the fact that they tried to do something different. But they failed miserably:(
