It's also one of few games that uses the more realistic Euphoria physics. I think the statements about optimization are overblown really considering the size and complexity of the map.

The only time GTA IV runs like crap is when you try to combine too high res with too high shadow settings with hardware that isn't up to it. Even the better story GTA IV had to the prior installments suffered from this. GTA games always play like you're stuck in a world of wannabe gangsters stooping to ridiculous tasks to make a buck. Yeah the voice acting, dialog and story in JC need work, but the gameplay itself is much more dynamic. I also thought the moronic start to the story was too much to take with the tagging and silliness. I tried San Andreas briefly and couldn't stand the horrible driving and camera controls on PC. They tried to give it the orginal Far Cry style sense of humour and it was lame.The Ballad of Gay Tony, it's an expansion to GTA IV. I said I do think Just Cause 2 was a better game engine, its just how the game played itself didnt attract me, plus the acting was horrible.

Which GTA r u talking about? GTA 4 was no where near as good as San Andreas, and still runs like crap even on todays hardware.
