Stopping to jump out of the vehicle and pop a few bad guys in the jaw is no better either as the combat system refuses to allow you to close the gap, often having you swing at empty air in frustration.

Unfortunately the hits keep coming as the environment suffers for its poorly designed engine, with building rendering all too late and vehicles literally popping in to existence and falling in to their place even at a moderate jogging speed. It's a beautiful area and one that's perfectly suited to this style of gameplay as it features environments ranging from its beach-y coastline to slums, idyllic hilltops and upmarket shopping districts. The problems are evident early on as you jump in to a sporty vehicle and slide, crash, bounce and yes, even float your way through the back alleys of a permanently sunset drenched Rio cityscape.
