Yeah i agree ssjojo getting lost is realy easy in that game. Only think i disliked is you had to drive to every race sometimes i didnt have time to do that and just enough for one race yet i couldnt just choose them from a menu.
I think gta just cause the series have had so much of an impact in games odds are some of the features in halo 2 wouldnt be in the game without the gta games being so popular first.
