Why does GTA 4 get so much hate?

I've played it only for 1-2 hours, but I can tell you that the car handling is worse than in GTA Vice City, and the camera is too close to the cars.

By 'worse' I think you mean more difficult? 

And you can easily change how far away the camera is.

The handling was less accurate than in Vice City. Maybe they did it on purpose, but it makes the game less fun.

I tried different cameras, but I didn't find one that I like. The distance between the camera and the car isn't constant, which is annoying, and sometimes it get too close (when the car is stopped or driving slowly) and I can't see a thing.
