No kidding. This game is fun, but it is ridiculously over rated. I could talk about technical problems with the game until I was blue in the face, but the two primary mechanics of the game are the most damning:

(1) The shooting sucks. The cover system sucks. It's all been done much better before with other games.

(2) Driving is sub-par. It's not terrible, but it is by no means good.

Since these two mechanics are used for about 90% of all of the (repetitive) missions, the game ends up mostly being the combination of both. As GTA shifts toward casual gamers than the likes of Gears of War, Rainbow Six, or better racing games, most of the players probably don't care as much about how it sucks at these two mechanics.

Every day, I'm becoming more and more convinced that I'm the only person on Earth who actually prefers the new style of driving in GTA to the old arcadey style.

Nah rocketpig, you aren't the only one, I too prefer the new driving style. It's not exactly realistic all the time (I mean you don't see many sports cars these days jack-knifing from a sharp turn), but there's actually a challenge to getting the hang of how each car drives (plus it makes car chases in MP more exciting).

I agree with everything else the two other quoted people said though.

EDIT: To contribute to the thread, the 360 versions done 52 reviews so far, I would say that there'll be 55-65 max by the end of it (nintendo games seem to get more reviews then any other platform and SMG had 69), so I think there's a chance that 360 version will stay above OoT, PS3 version however may be a different story (since it's only at 39 reviews thus far.)
