GTA:SA difficulty

Archived from groups: alt.games.grand-theft-auto (More info?)

Dont know if its me but I found GTA:SA to be the easiest of the 3, I've just
completed the missions were you parachute onto the plane and kill the mob.

Still a fab game though, love it.

Depends on your platform. I gather that the flying school missions are
almost impossible on the PC, as against just very hard on the PS2.

It is a game. It supposed to be fun. However, last week II hit the
flight school and cannot get past the circle and land test. I must
have attempted the test at least 100 times by now.

I am not having fun anymore.

They need to better balance the difficulty level. There should be
some way of opting to wimp out on the most difficult missions. Or,
there should not be game killer missions that are required to complete
the storyline.

Like I said, I am not having fun with this game any longer and I don't
see much replay in the future. There are other games available that
don't generate this much level of frustration.

Yes.

I have actually run the circle, landed without damage, and stopped in
the corona many times. I have been able to generate a score on many
attempts. None of them were good enough for the bronze level. I
guess it was because of time.

Yeah, whenever I failed the helicopter one later it was almost always
time. I forgot to mention, take your wheels up until near landing and
you don't need to keep the throttle on full. sometimes more speed just
makes the things harder to turn, then you lose time getting them back
in line.

I found that to be totally the opposite, I managed to pass the flying
school without too many failed attempts in one go whilst my PS2 playing
housemate spent ages on it.
