I miss this game...

It was a creative, brilliant, and amazing game that got unnecessarily snubbed by its owners in favor of yet another virtual manifestation highlighting gratuitous violence, blood, gang activity, and sex. No offense to GTA4 fans, but after about 5 games, the franchise began to bore me.
But this game was a diamond-in-the-rough. Memorable and unique characters, entertaining storylines, gameplay, and schoolyard pranks we all remember from our grade school days made this game an enjoyable experience! My only gripe with this game was that it was too short... I didn't want to stop playing! Eventually, the summer free play lost it's luster and after replaying the story mode three times, it was time to put it back on the shelf.
I was hoping and praying for a sequel, but all that seemed to be on RockStar's mind was GTA4... AND NOTHING ELSE!
Eventually, the game came out for 360 and I was compelled to buy it 3 months after it's release. The reason I did this was because I heard about bugs in the release. When I payed the 50 bucks for the game, I had hoped that Rockstar fixed it, but the bugs were there! The game amazingly improved on the PS2 version in terms of graphics, but it would occasionally freeze, show minor glitches in the movements, sound clips were misplaced at parts, the tattoo parlor was screwed up to the point of not being able to use it, and the controls, especially in the new music class, were prone to malfunction!
My friend, who doesn't own a PS2, Wii, or 360, bought the game for computer and the crashes were gratuitous. He found that he was totally unable to make it past chapter 2 because it just kept crashing during missions! And the biggest punch in the gut is that RockStar apparently doesn't care! There exists NO patch for that game! So he gave up on it!
Like the title says, I miss this game... It was a fun and enjoyable experience that was much too short. I hope one day that RockStar will expand their horizons and bring us a much-deserved sequel to this game!
Anyway, I made this post WAY too long. lol, so what do you think?
