For my final session, I just devoted my time to some more driving around. I decided that the story is cool and the missions were interesting, but I was simply more interested in listening to the music and enjoying the various cars I could steal. Overall I enjoyed the game, I especially enjoyed missions that I had to perform with a certain time limit. For instance there was one where I had to find a boat and follow a helicopter that was flying over the river and pick up boxes that it was dropping. I had to pick up all the boxes and make my getaway before the cops showed up. Since water is hazardous in this version of GTA, I had to be very careful not to die and also very dexterous to pick up all the boxes and make my getaway in time. I had to retry this mission several times before I actually made it but I had fun each time. I liked that I had several hideouts in the city and I could cause all sorts of havoc and all I had to do was get a paintjob and hide out for a bit until the cops left me alone. I'm still not 100% sold on the GTA franchise but the story is fun and the cars are cool, so I enjoyed how simple it was to get into the game and spent many hours just cruising and enjoying the game world.

This time around I tried to complete some of the missions. I had to go to a certain corner in a certain car, and shoot certain gang members but avoid the other ones. I think I had to shoot the red ones but not the purple ones because the purple ones hired me to do the drive by shooting anyways. So I steal what looks like a black tahoe and head to the neighborhood. I found that the controls were very hard for me to handle in this mission. Not only did I have to drive, but I also had to aim and shoot the right guys at the same time and I simply could not do it. I actually had to get someone to beat that part for me. I'm generally bad at driving games to begin with but just driving along the city and not doing anything specific I can handle. Once I had to combine driving with a precise task like shooting is when my dexterity deteriorated. Boy was I glad to be out of that mission ...

I borrowed a friend's copy of Vice City to see how I liked it. At first I drove around trying to get used to the controls. I found them very comfortable and intuitive and spent a long time driving around, stealing more cars and running away from the cops. What I enjoyed was the fact that I didn't have to do the main missions all the time. I could ride around, go for cool combos and rob stores. I spent about an hour and a half just driving around and learning the controls to do what I needed to do, but to be honest I really didn't want to follow the narrative. I was enjoying the immersive world that was created and that allowed me to drive around from neighborhood to neighborhood, stealing cars and changing radio stations.
