{{Rebut}} Where did you find your legal information about the US banning the use of planes from crashing into buildings in video games? I'm fairly sure that would be deemed unconstitutional, reguardless if some people found it offensive. Games are a form of art, and are protected by Freedom of Speech. The only system that is in place for "banning" games is the ESRB, and the Adult rating, as most stores won't even stock the item and thus, greatly limiting the sales, but an all out ban is illegal and unconstitutional. Next, people do use planes for things other than traveling if you believe it or not. I wouldn't mind R* adding in a sea plane for you to fly around the city in, because, in real life, people do own private planes and like to fly around cities and sight see. Honestly, how much different is crashing a helicopter into a building than a plane?

{{Rebut}} To add to this really, really long gripe, on the PC version of GTA IV, there are mods so you can fly planes. However, like the many rebutters who have rebutted this gripe, it really is true. '''There is no room to fly in Liberty City. It takes, at maximum, 1 minute to fly from one end of the city to the other.''' Also, if Rockstar really wanted to keep planes out due to the 9/11 controversy, they wouldn't have put handling data for planes in the files.

{{Gripe}}Any mission that involves a car/bike chase has all of the traffic pre-generated and has whoever is being chased on rails. It's extremely annoying not to mention boring after a few playthroughs having every car in sight look like they're on a Scalextric track. I think it's supposed to create "suspense" or something but all it does is create frustration. And you can't kill opponents until you're SUPPOSED to? Where's the realism in that? i.e. To Live and Die in Alderney, if you manage to shoot the fed's car enough before it leaves the dirt track it will burst into flames, all the occupants will jump out, yet the car itself will still stick to Phil as though there was someone at the wheel. No Way on the Subway, I emptied about 800 bullets into the biker and he still wouldn't die until a specific point. And other missions where you can't shoot the wheels, the driver etc, where the car you're chasing can make impossible turns given the speed they're going at... It's one of the most annoying aspects of the game.
