Never before has a single mistake effected a game's quality as much as GTA 4. At it's core, GTA 4 is a spectacular game that's unfortunately utterly ruined by a lack of checkpoints, making the game borderline unfinishable.

I rarely mark a game down for being too hard, but GTA 4 can be outright unfair in later story missions, and losing 20-30 minutes of progress to an off-screen death makes GTA 4 an absolute chore to play.
