The short list of gripes:
1) Random BSoD's with no diagnostic information displayed (HTF do you break Windows THAT badly?)
2) No strafeing
3) The controls don't match 3/VC
4) Melee combat controls are awkward
5) WHERE THE FVCK DID THE REFLECTION MAPS ON THE CARS GO?
6) WHERE THE FVCK DID THE GLOW AROUND THE SUN AND HEADLIGHTS GO?
7) They seem to have added some sh!tty heat-radiating-off-the-ground effect that is sickeningly overdone at times
8) Skinning/clothing issues not fixed
9) Bicyling controls are spread across the damn keyboard in awkward spots
10) Apparently multiplayer has been removed COMPLETLEY? [I havn't gotten this far, but that's what I've heard]
11) Alternate fighting styles learned in gyms DO NOT APPLY!
12) When vehicles explode, textures don't change

How did this get out of QA? This makes most sh!tty console ports look GLORIOUS. And to think I bought two fvcking copies.

These screenshots are 1024x768x32, FL on, no AA, MIP on, Very High quality, brightness up a little from stock, on the 9600Pro.

Text <== blown up ambulance

6800 and X800 owners:
Can you accomplish this ONE simple task to prove that I'm FOS, or that it's a video card issue?
1) Find an ambulance - take a screenshot. This is the car on which the lack of reflections and piss-poor texturing is most evident.
2) Blow up a car (that isn't black to begin with) - take a screenshot.

Straight port from PS2 with gigantic steps backward in many areas.

Graphics I'd put WELL below Vice City. More on par with GTA3.

No way. Please tell me this is some kind of a joke right?

I was so looking forward to this game.

It's really sad think of what the GTA series could have been if it wasn't developed for 5 year old hardware so fatcats at Sony could get even more wealthy than they currently are. This is why consoles suck.

Don't waste your time downloading, either. 5 gigs ain't worth it.

thanks it seems as if this would be one of the more watched downloads anyways.

This pisses me off even more, because my PS2 disc stopped working (It's not scratched, it just stopped fvcking reading, and the PS2 itself is fine).

I doubt it if what Krk3561 says is true and the xBox suffers the same problems. That would be "unfair" to the xBox kids and such.
 

Wait for updated obviously.

The first release of products are usually buggy.

The previous games havn't been, and this is so damn bad it should never have gotten past QA - unless this is "as-designed."

For some reason in my xbox version, if i dont move, it automatically pulls in close and looks up..... the only time i can see anything is if im moving...

is there something wrong w/ my controller or is the game buggy?

Well, the PC version doesn't do that.

That's pretty bad. You'd think they'd already have all this down (at least the control schemes) after porting over all the other GTA titles.
