Indeed, it is ridiculous how often things go wrong in this game:
1. A guard popped up to the left of me (my character) and killed me in two shots.
2. Cops won't leave me alone and kill me as soon as they can see me.
3. A 10-foot drop on the side of a mountain means death even though slightly smaller drops don't hurt very much.
4. And the final straw was the aforementioned "angry sumo wrestlers" in the mission where I had to fly a plane over a sea and half of the map. I tried to land the plane, but it broke each time, sending me all the way back.
The game is not fun even when it does not make me "wasted", unless I'm driving a sports car. The shooting controls are too bad with a controller. Screw its campaign and its mediocre console framerate.
