Sorry but...you suck at driving in GTAIV. I could do it on keyboard and mouse and an xbox 360 controller.
I disagree with almost everything you said, the driving is the best in any gta once you get used to it. I can almost drive better in gta iv than in real life.
LOL! Great video!
I'm totally there on the cars thing... Rockstar should have taken some Burnout cars for a drive before making this game. The controls were awful! I also had no interest in dating girls or going to strip clubs so I stuck to the main plot... but found it pretty repetitious after awhile. I gave up on the game. Just not my thing.

When I first started playing GTA IV on it's release, I had the same problem. Every time I jumped in a vehicle in a seemingly futile attempt to ravage the landscape and kill several old ladies, racing around my new found city, all I could ever muster was spin outs and crashes. And when you finally decide the fun of spin outs and crashes has been temporarily exhausted and you want to, y'know, go somewhere, it proved difficult.
After complaining loudly to a friend of mine, who blocked me several times across a number of different IM's and social networks, he finally decided to point out that, unlike other GTA's where all the cars worked on a very basic structural formula, and were easy to get in and traipse around in, whereas GTAIV adds a much larger element of physics into it's vehicle mechanics. I realized I was just jumping in a car and jamming the accelerator down and wondering why I span out. Taking a minute to consider driving a car in GTAIV a little more like driving one in a racing-sim of sorts, and suddenly things make a little more sense.
These days I am ADEQUATE at driving. Because I'm not particularly good at anything. So for me to have reached this level of astounding adequacy is...well...astounding.
Just a thought anyways.
Did you like how I managed to make one small point last several hundred words worth of rambling. Did you?? DID YOU?? Yeah you did.

Amusing videos, and I agree that it drags on for quite abit.
Oh and I really liked the driving, it felt solid and far less floaty. But hey that's just me, I like Sim style driving rather than the more arcade style driving which I do think suited the old GTA's very well.

I'm one of the few people that seems to think that the driving in all of the GTA games were completely fine. Also, I didn't think the game dragged on that much.
Also, yay Storm.

Saw this on the Dtoid Youtube channel before, but it's still great. Love Storm's work/antics in these. Keep it up!
An especially interesting choice, considering GTAIV is one of the few games that is markedly better on the 360 than it is on the PS3. I'll watch Storm later.
Thank god i speak swedish, wouldn't have known what to do with myself if i couldnt get the reviewers opinion in two languages.
I love these Adventures, also car mechanics are ridiculousness.

I also watched the Destructoid Youtube channel to see this but I'll just watch it again.
Storm's awesome. Why isn't he noted under the contributors?

look ma, I'm on TV. :0
fucking terrible speaking on my end. apologies!
this is probably my favourite review. I almost fell out of my chair with the pie part for some reason.

Loved the "Just have fun" montage.
I was going to say "Oh this is awesome, Banjo Kazooie music" I guess I was close enough... same composer, right?

The reason the driving is so screwed up is because you were only driving crappy cars, the driving quality curve is a lot greater in IV that it was in III. also everything is physics based now so that's why the driving isn't the same as in III since its using physics data now, and reacting to cars, ramps, buildings, and yes even gravity properly.
