You're definitely entitled to your opinion, AsylumEscapee.. But I think you are not giving the game a chance. Either that or you just do not like the theme behind it.

What Grand Theft Auto III is is a "Mafioso" story. The story is for people who watch The Sopranos. ..I also think that you might have a bad impression of it because you just are not very good at it. I'm not saying you suck, but maybe that you just jumped into it too quickly, didn't pay attention during Luigi's missions, possibly.

People swerve in front of you because the AI is programmed so that drivers are the same kind of aware-only-of-themselves idiots that populate the roads in real life. They swerve in front of you when you are going 150 MPH and honking because the AI is not perfect.. can you program a better one? People jump in front of your car for the same reason.

GTA III is by no means perfect, but it's versatility and the overall quality of the game is pretty much unparalelled. Many of the FLAWS from the first game (such as stupid cops running over 200 pedestrians to get to you, or ONLY ever arresting you.. or the eventual boredom that sets in from just killing mindlessly after the main story is done) are probably going to be fixed in Vice City..

Try playing it again, don't take it so seriously.. cruise around casually in different cars to see which one suits you for each area. (My favorites are for the Hummer for Portland, and the Banshee for Staunton and Shoreside) Take the missions more easily, and pay more attention to your surroundings. Don't always go full speed, actually drive. Pick up a hooker and watch the car rock. GTA III is an easy going, humorous (darkly so) game, it's not meant to be perfection.
