I am a huge GTA fan. Played the games for years. However, this is the first time I played one on the PC. There are alot of negative reviews out there, and I feel like some of them are being a little unjust. Written by gamers that are not smart enough or patient enough to work out any issues they run into. So let me just tell you what I experienced. Good graphics after you edit the start parameters so that you can change the graphic quality (it is a pain that you have to do it, but it is really easy). I played this game on the Xbox 360 before and the port over to PC is fine. Just as good as the port for the Saints Row series, or any other free roam driving game. Controls are easy to use and easy to remember. Run's great on my computer, I have the graphics on ultra and it runs perfect with no issues. Now... Down to the meat and potatoes of what most of these reviewers complain about. Let's get real for a second here gamer guys and gals. Honestly, GFWL sucks, I know it's a thorn in some people's sides, and everyone complains about it but c'mon... All you have to do is log in. It is not a big deal. I logged in to both the rockstar club and GFWL and have not had a single problem.


So in summary:
IF you are smart enough to log into your GFWL account and your Rockstar Social Clup account (if you do not have one or both of those you can create one on the spot) then this is an amazing free roam driving game/shooter/gangster/bowling sim. Once you get it going there should'nt be any problems, and if there are just check the forums or mod it.
