This forum gets crazier and crazier each day. Jesus, relax guys.
GTAIV was a great game. Tons and tons of money, time, and love created it. It was fun, had a very interesting story, and it really brought great production value and a good gameplay engine into the mix.
It wasn't arcadey like Vice City, and that's what turned a lot of people off. It was more like a crime epic with the back-drop of a videogame, and in that sense, it succeeded rather well. It tried something relatively new, and did it well, and combined with every other excellently done aspect of the game, deserves a place along the heroes that it now chair with.
As for Chinatown Wars, I've never played it, but it looks like it's probably the best handheld GTA ever, by lightyears, and another reason that every DS hater should once again be jealous of our outstanding 3rd party support, and excellent mainstream and underground game lineup.
As for me, personally, seeing reviews like this does my heart good. They might actually convince me to buy a DS game, which I haven't done since OoE.
However, the best DS game shall forever be Elite Beat Agents, and like in all my other arguments, just because in theory my opinion can't be correct...it usually is, so don't fall for the disclaimer. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the godlike.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
