The controls are not as responsive as I like, and buttons are assigned to many actions

The controls are counter-intuitive and impossible to use as well.

Unless you come to a complete stop and slowly edge your way into a sharp or not-so-sharp turn, you'll end up either going far too wide out of your lane, or completely losing control and spinning or swerving or crashing

This is behind a lot of complaints about the "poor driving controls," vis. if you take a corner too fast, you will miss it

The controls are the best yet with only the close combat of inside a building being frustrating.3.

As far as controls, I WOULD have preferred to keep the old GTA type button scheme for driving, but you can get used to R trigger instead of "A", etc

First off, The controls for this game are straight garbage

control was awful, really it's some of the worst I've seen

I hate nothing more in video games than poor controls (this isn't 1986 NES days anymore

but the game controls are sloppy (controlling the helicopter is such a farce I was in disbelief) and the driving around and around for hours is SO dull and

Game play to me is what makes a game and sadly GTA IV's controls are not very good.

People are saying that the controls are very difficult,which they are not because the people playing this series are mostly amatuers reading strategy guides to every game in their collection

The controls are odd and the city's colors are all manner of shades of gray, brown, and graybrown.

The control, which had supposedly been revamped, still stinks.

The controls are clunky and almost broken in many places

The control, once you get the hang of it is fairly decent

but i just over all thought it was boring, slow, and bad controls... didn't play much of it going to send it back.

I would have enjoyed a little more control over the camera's default position when you are driving.

It's basically like the others.. unrealistic driving controls, sloppy combat controls, shoddy camera angles, cheesy dialog, lots of profanity, etc

first lets talk about the controls, the controls are very easy to use

For one thing, the controls are horrible

The controls make doing even the most simplistic tasks complex, and I don't like how you are forced into doing tasks at the beginning of the game before the world completely opens up to you

The controls are my biggest gripe

Some people complain about the controls, but quite honestly the controls are the best I've seen for GTA.

Many disliked the 'heavier' controls; they desired a more arcade feel to the game like the earlier ones.

At first I was driving a car and the controls were really good.

because I played the other GTA games on the PS2, it took about 45 minutes before a learned the controls well enough to play properly

It is fun, but it still has many of the same annoying control issues/glitches you find in prior GTA's

Stiffen up that eggnog C3P0... it just gets worse.-Broken controls

While cars do drive differently from one another, the controls overall feel really sloppy - like you are driving on ice.

Once u get control of the console its a breeze.

(You can pick the classic control setup, but I can't comment on this as I haven't tried it yet)

The game has a very good story and interesting themes, but the controls and physics of the cars feel lazy, and the controls overall are just unresponsive and imprecise.

The controls were perfect, the vehicles were fast, and you could drive around corners at nearly full speed.

My biggest complaint about the game are the absurdly poor controls and slow character movement.

Yes, arcade is good and the controls seem sluggish in the beginning, but that's the joy of the new generation of games.

Or perhaps, their clumsy control in general threw me off

So many things were taken out of this game that it really just felt like a striped down version of the older titles with clunky controls & better graphics

Usually you don't even want to go too fast because you will completely lose control, which will make you easy prey for someone chasing you or will result in you plowing into a bunch of pedestrians in front of a cop, which will raise your wanted level and cause them to start hunting you even though you were just trying to drive back to your apartment to save your game

You cannot fly planes,small city,horrible car control

I was also afraid they would change the controls too much in going to a new system, but the controls are very comfortable and feel familiar

There's a rock station featuring Iggy freakin' Pop as the foul-mouthed DJ, classic hip-hop and R&B, smooth jazz, techno, LCHC (Liberty City HardCore), and even an all Bob Marley station just to name a few.
