"I have played prettier games on my GBA and honestly this game is overhyped too much. The 360 version is awful with flat textures and poor character models, this game really really struggles on the ancient underpowered Xbox 360... I managed to get two versions of the game delivered a day before release date from Rockstar themselves. The general manager delivered it personally as he is a great fan of my work. He enjoys my reviews on here so much he asked for my autograph and annoyingly kept calling me during my play-through, patiently awaiting my opinion. We chatted for a bit about my good looks and while I reminded him I am straight he was quick to agree the 360 version is horrific. SO that's it, the game is just ok and is not much of a game to be honest but more like The Sims."
Why would anyone spend their time writing such a thing? What begins as a legitimate-seeming criticism of the under-powered abilities of the XBox 360 descends into the lunatic ravings of someone you wouldn't trust to navigate a closed door. Why waste your time? Did They Play? Possibly, but like the user, there's clearly very little need to delve into the realms of reality here. Diagnosis Someone has been looking at some of the genius Amazon reviews, and decided to add their own snarky response to GTA V's release, while also shoe-horning in their pre-existing hatred for the XBox 360, and adding a cherry of inexplicable homophobia aimed at the XBox general manager. This one is firmly for the scrap-heap. There's no legitimate review, regardless of the mask of traditional criticism in the first few statements, and we should probably all be happy we don't know the poster personally, since they clearly have a vastly over-inflated opinion of their own comic skills.
