Driving controls

What do you think of the new driving controls? I don't see why they didn't just leave it as it was before... why try fixing something thats not broken. Now you have to go round the corners blind most of the time as its tricky looking and turning at the same time. Also the walking controls can be a bit awkward but not as much as the driving.

I know, most of the time you are driving or walking around with the camera angle completely f*cked up, it's p!ssing me off.. Tbh, I am bored with it already. >.< I might Ebay it... pretty high prices.

It is good, and I know they couldn't change EVERYTHING - otherwise it wouldn't be GTA.. but after about 25 mins of playing, it's just like the old ones. Gets boring fast.

I find it abit easier to drive the car in First person mode, it seems easier to aim it through gaps in traffic

I have to agree though driving is a little weird, sometimes it's like driving on ice, you slide everywhere!

I find the driving a little tricky myself....the cars don't stick to the road
as much as they used to...I guess its to emulate how fast you're meant to
be driving or something.

I wish you could invert the Y-Axis only too instead of having to
invert both axes or neither.....

I like having all the Axis inverted, maybe because im backwards but thats how i've always played games
