    Gigantic No-No! Stay away!

    God awful PC port! It's mind-blowing that Rockstar let this out of the door.
    1) Very poor interface. Clearly not tested with a _Mouse_.
    2) Performance hunger is pretty close to Crysis - but without looking good at all.
    3) It effectively forces you to install and use the Micro$ofts Games for Windows software to SAVE your game. (Yes, even when you buy it on steam) ..... WTF Gabe?!

    Seems like they just unloaded the 360 SDK from Visual Studio and let a intern work on it for a few weeks. While trading in their paychecks from Microsoft to promote their malware. So be warned, this is sub-midnight club quality. I will now go bite my ass off for buying this crap. :(

      The PC version is an irritating and disappointing port 0

      Before this game came out, Rockstar was one of the few developers that PC aficionados could always trust to provide the best possible content. Manhunt and the previous Grand Theft Auto games always put their best foot forward when it came to the PC version. In return for an extra six months of patience, you could play a game with better graphics and better controls. Sadly, that glorious trend has come to an end. Grand Theft Auto IV for the PC isn't just a lazy, substandard port with a few proble...
