 Once Patched this game is fabulous January 6, 2009
There are an excessive amount of negative reviews about this game, however mine is not one of them.
I read the reviews, got the patches before doing my initally install. That meant my expectations were managed.
Once patched, both game (using Games for Windows) and Nvidia graphic card, the game has performed nearlly perfectly. The game play is excellent and I think is a worthy successor to Saint Andreas. With Game play like that I soon forgot the technical issues I had at first install..
 I'm sending it back January 6, 2009
For some reason it decided that my soundcard was not a soundcard and therefore would not start. Strange how every other game can see that card eh?
I did everything to try and get it to run, installing .net 3.5 to install the latest of every kind of driver ... nothing but fail. My machine can play many other recent and demanding games, but this game is just a bad port by a lazy developer.
I just reinstalled XP to be rid of the evil it did to my machine.
Well, with no response at all from their so called 'support department' after two weeks, so back to Amazon it goes.
 Great game in the series, but be prepared for a long install January 5, 2009
I struggle to see what all the negativity is about. Sure the game takes an age to install, but the gameplay is faithful to the series. I have a reasonable spec PC and it runs fine without crashes or glitches (so far).
Don't buy unless you have an Xbox controller January 3, 2009

I have just spent days trying to get this game to work. It won't work without an official xbox controller. You can find a hack on the internet to bypass this, but then can't save the game as you can't save without logging in to Windows Live, which then automatically updates the game so the hack doesn't work. Thanks for nothing Rockstar.
A real Christmas turkey ..... January 3, 2009

Despite a quad core PC and video card well inside the spec, I've got something that would have been laughed at on a Spectrum 48k, and it's on its way back for a refund. Companies don't deserve to make money from such shoddy offerings.
What's obviously important to Rockstar is getting product to market before Xmas. The whole Windows Live and Rockstar Social Club sign up process is also about additional revenue, to sell MP3's and other add-ons. Driver patches, error codes that actually tell you what needs fixing have been ignored. Which is what I'll be doing to all future Rockstar releases.
