I still think this game is great... but I mostly just drive around and watching the virtual world ...
The hype didn't detract from any of the enjoyment mostly because I never really liked the series and just thought of it as a shenmue wannabe.. so I guess when I got GTA IV I just didn't have expectations to match it against anything.. anyway the thing that keeps me coming back is just seeing the crazy things that randomly happens in the world
I usually get a little frustrated with the controls during some of those missions thats when I take a break and come back to it after a few days.... rinse repeat till it's done..
If you can you should try the lost and the damned expansion
