GTA IV is the first Grand Theft Auto Series available in PC version to have the disability on steering with mouse. The mouse control has since been replaced with the freelook. Many of the players might find this fraustrating and works rather well with analog and/or mouse controls. Keyboard steering has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of keyboard steering are that the player can get to do drifts and skits more easily as the steering will turn to the maximum by just hitting A(for left turn) and/or D(for right turn) with any amount of pressure, and it also takes lesser efforts to memorise the layout. While the disadvantages are that whenever the players attempts to steer, they will usually not get the right angle which they had expected the vehicle to perform with the keyboard on the turn which caused them to total their vehicle majority of the time especially when cruising on the expressway which requires to only have a small amount of left turn/right turn angle.

GTA IV is the first Grand Theft Auto Series available in PC version to have the disability on steering with mouse. The mouse control has since been replaced with the freelook function. Many of the players might find this fraustrating and works rather well with analog and/or mouse controls.

Keyboard steering has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of keyboard steering are that the players can get to perform drifts and skits more easily as the steering will turn to the maximum by just hitting A(for left turn) and/or D(for right turn) with any amount of pressure. In addition, it also takes lesser efforts to memorise the layout.

However, the disadvantages are that whenever the players attempts to steer their vehicles, they will usually end up getting their vehicles performing wrong steer projection and eventually causing them to total their vehicle majority of the time especially when cruising on the expressway which requires to only have a small amount of left turn/right turn angle.

PSP

Crotching/Squatting function is not available in all of the PSP's versions of Grand Theft Auto including Vice City Stories and Liberty City Stories, as another analog will be needed in order to do so. One of the missions in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (Nines and AKs) requires the player to crotch/squat and roll sideways with the crotch/squat enabled while shooting targets at the same time. This is one possible reasons for Grand Theft Auto San Andreas not being supported on the PSP platform.
