Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. For the DS?!

Just saw this on the cover of a magazine while I was out. I had no idea the DS was getting a GTA. In terms of looks and probably gameplay too, it seems like a cross between the later 3D games and early 2D top-down-view games.

a cross
you mean 3d models from a top down view
i wonder if this will be glitch tastic

I don't mean it literally. Just the screens that I saw were at about 45 degree angle, looking down. And the graphics looked as if they'd been designed to look 2D. Very broad colours, almost looked cel-shaded.

oh right
can you post any screenshots?

Well, I was wrong about the looks apparenty. Only had a quick glance through a magazine though. These are about the only two I could find with a quick search.

that looks craptastic

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

i love how you can't tell if the guy is leaning over and sticking out his leg or diving

The top one is driver 3 for the gba and the bottom one is max payne for the gba. I have GTA CW and it's a lot different.

My mistake then.

I heard Chinatown Wars is pretty damn good.

Yeah, that's it. It's getting good reviews.

i dunno these DS games always seem like a step back to me

i would rather they were a step in a new direction

mind i don't know what elements they've added, i am totally judging it by the camera view

Welcome after

Well it's the DS. They've only got so much to work with, especially with GTA's format.

yeah but they got the stylus

if they incorporated it well you could do things you can't do on the other games
instead they normally use it for gimicky stuff like
i dunno make your own gang tags

At the beginning you have to tap the screen to crush a window

that would be gimicky

So what would a non-gimmicky use of it be?

Tapping on the enemies to shoot at them? XD

using it in the hot coffee sub game >_>
