Grand Theft Auto has always been a 'freelance' game of which you control the characters future. Then of course another grand theft auto comes out....and again....and again. At the end of which you just simply get bored. Sure the graphics are improved, and there are different characters but the storyline is basically the same. Kill people, kill police and kill even more people. A few of the missions involve driving a stupid car with appalling handling. But you probably wont do these. A few contain sneaking, getting caught and escaping. But you wont do these. Perhaps you will be decent and do vigilante missions? Nope. Instead you will use the Internet, get thousands of cheats off the Internet and kill everything that moves.

The fact that the last few games have been based around cheats and allowing them has completely defeated the purpose of the missions. Why hi-jack a car when you can make one appear instantly with unlimited speed, without the chance of attracting police? And then of course you would then smash the car into other cars, causing a pile-up, escape before it explodes and start all the fun again. Of you would enter a cheat which gives you guns with stupid amount of ammo and start blow-torching everything. Missions have been rendered pointless and the games become monotonous.

Sure its great fun to go round and shoot everything, don't get me wrong but to base a game on that fact makes it a pretty poor game. If I had my way I would decorate the grand theft auto with snowmen instead of people and drive into them. But that's me. I would rather buy a game with a hint of storyline though then buy a game built around cheats and violence. Otherwise whats the point?
