Zero Punctuation is still working fine. He actually gave it a positive review, at least positive for him.

I sold my copy of GTA IV back to the shop two days after I bought it. I can't for the life of me figure out why it's getting such praise. Does Rockstar have dirty photos of these people?
The game is BORING. The graphics are pedestrian at best. The combat control downright sucks ass.
If I were rating the game, I'd give it an 8.5, tops. If you've played GTA III, you've played GTA IV... and the combat in GTA III didn't make me want to hurt myself.

Personally, I don't understand the gripe about the camera when in a car. Just move the right stick until the camera moves up to your desired height. I've personally had no problem adjusting to the camera in car or on foot.
I'd go so far as to say that these people just aren't very good at video games. The camera can get a little crazy if youre in tight spaces with people all around you shooting at you.. however, if you've gotten yourself into that situation then you're doing something wrong already anyway..

It's just not a natural camera angle, and when you adjust it with the stick as soon as you let off the right analog stick it goes back to where it was. I did when it I first got the game, and when I had a friend play he did too - I didn't say anything and he never saw me play. I'd say that indicates a (small) problem.

Without a doubt GTA4 is the most over hyped and overrated game of all time (beating out God of War 2 by a margin). I have been playing the GTA serious for over 11 years since GTA was released for the PC and I have played through all of the latest incarnations and I was so unbelievably disappointed with GTA4. I dont feel like writing a god damn book about why this game is over hyped but I will say that the graphics and FRAMERATE are absolutely atrocious and pathetic considering this is supposed to be a next gen game. That I can put aside since the serious has always been known for being a whole generation behind in terms of graphics. The controls (never played the PS3 version, only xbox) are very mushy feeling and just feel awkward to use. I live in NYC and have for years. LIBERTY City in GTA4 is nothing at all like NYC in ANY way. The details are left out and instead of NYC, I feel like I am roaming around Providence RI at 3 AM. I can keep going on and on for a few hours about the issues and letdowns of the latest GTA but I will not feel any better. Bottom line, the game needs to take a revolutionary direction as it did with the first 3 in the serious, rather than just updating with mediocre graphics and a physics engine that has been in existence for years.

Pretty much everything you said was incorrect, I'll leave it at that.

I've never adjusted the camera angle, I'd say it's just personal preference.

I agree with Auryg, I was constantly adjusting the camera angle. None of the built in angles were high enough for me while driving. Maybe it's from playing Forza 2, Crackdown, Just Cause, or PGR3 a lot recently. I have never had any issues with the driving camera in those games.

I typically use the hood view, never understood the point of the external view when driving.

Because when driving, I have peripheral vision, mirrors, and the ability to quickly turn my head to see what's around me.

Seriously? You don't understand the point of being able to see what's going on around you more easily?
