Since when does large volume of sales determine how good a game is. It's Grand Theft Auto, and that name alone sells it. Hype FTW.

"Why would you spend a lot of time to rewrite the game so that it would run good on an dual?" <- i don't really get this. Why wouldn't writing better code for a dual not be the way? Don't forget that most people out there don't have quads. Besides, i don't see why writing code that would optimize dual core performance not optimize quad performance at the same time. Then again, i'm no programmer so what do i know

I think the main reason why people are pissed is not merely the poor performance; it's how BAD the game looks.
