So far this doesn't sound too good imo.Hopefully they add Touch Screen features correctly.

Eh? That sounds pretty good imo. Then again im not a huge GTA fan so doesnt really bother.



to good to be true for a GTA game i dont believe it
no frame rate problem ? yup.. i thought the game also runs on 1080P and can destroy real worlds and enter the demon dimension...



It looks very good so far... for GTA fans that own a DS. I own a DS but I'm not a fan!



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

 

sounds great, but i'm wondering about the camera angle?



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

Around the Network

Does anyone have scans of the game.



hmm...it sounds okay..but how the hell do you aim with the damn D-pad ....how do you move around then?!



something tells me this game is going to bomb, just a hunch



>- Isometric camera angle


sounds like SIm all over again with mini games built in..


also... 'tasteful mini games'??? Who the hell plays GTAIV for tasteful stuff? Where's the hooker killing and cabbie beating?
