I seriously have worries about Rockstar's ability to design games. Sure, the game is fun, but there are so many annoying parts that it becomes just a 'good' game.
Take the highways for example, how crappy is the driving of the computer cars? It's disgraceful. Your driving a delicate truck down the road and all of a sudden a vehicle decides it wants the same lane as you.
I stopped at a motel by the side of the highway, after a few seconds there was a huge pileup at the entrance. Seems they can only handle the few seconds of driving and go crazy at other times.
Now, i'm not sure how much of San Andreas is based on real life, but it was also slightly annoying when i set out a nice route for my truck mission, only to find i got stuck in a tunnel!
But, the main annoying thing, is the camera (and controls in general), it's just too damn low. I'm going over a hill and can't see what's infront of me, when i'm driving an expensive car, i need to fiddle with the view to make sure i'm not going to hit something. You can get around it by holding the left thumbstick up a bit as your drive, but i'd much prefer it to be set like that. There is no drawback to the extra height, as the horizon is still on your screen.
Oh, and the draw distance sucks and cars still dissapear when you change your view. But that's to be expected on an ageing console.
On the more strange side of things: I just came out of a burger joint in San Fiero to see a plane exploding down the street! Rather odd. And there was that truck that was doing a permanent front wheelie...
