  • I am getting fed up of review sites giving this game very high marks.

    Go on amazon.com and see what everyone else is saying about this game.

    It is incredibley buggy, needs a ridiculous computer to run it properly, clogs up your machine, requires signing up to two internet accounts, has limited installations (i.e., treats you like a criminal) and requires internet access just to save during the single player game.

    It is a rushed, pathetic, traversty of a conversion. Rockstar should be ashamed.

    I'm very disapointed you gave this game 9 given its design flaws and urge you to reconsider your mark.

  • Agreed. I have a great gaming rig and i play all my games fine, Except this one! This is the only engine of late that is unplayable on my machine!

    This does not deserve top marks.

  • I think you are both just sour!
    I have an average gaming rig and it plays fine, games have bugs, everyone knows that so get over it!
    great game! My favourite PC title to date!

  • Every game has bugs??? This game has more bugs then an ants nest!! For most people its either not playable, crashes constantly or starts ok only to turn into a slide show within minutes due to a memory leak Rockstar still haven't fixed after 4 updates! Its an absolute abomination of a game which never should have been allowed on the market in the first place.. Which is such a pitty because the game behind the bugs is excellent.
