First GTA: Chinatown Wars review is in

"Every bit as good as any other GTA," says Official Nintendo mag
The latest issue of the Official Nintendo Magazine UK brings with it the first review of the brilliant GTA: Chinatown Wars, slapping it with a huge 94 percent score.

"With the arrival of Chinatown Wars, the DS can now boast a GTA title that's every bit as compelling, impressive and fun to play as its home console cousins. If not more so," gushes the review.

"While some might suggest that hosting a Grand Theft Auto game on DS would prove to be a restrictive, watered-down experience, we'd argue that the opposite is true," it adds.

The full six page review is in issue 41 of the Official Nintendo Magazine, in subscribers' hands now and on news-stands Friday. Look out for our review next week.

Let's see what the unofficial mags say first. I am sure they will still be high scores, just not as high as that one.

it was quitely released a few months back. i picked it up in GAME as part of their 2 for Ł25 offer. if you like Treasure games you'll love it. Its bloody hard though.

gameplay.co.uk are selling Bangai-O Spirits (DS) for Ł9.99 currently.

I've got the DC version myself, so still um-ing & ah-ing about getting it

I expected this to get full of PS3, Xbox and PC owners of GTA 4 slamming the DS GTA and gloating about their version not numerous posts discussing the price and difficulty of Bangai-O-Spirits Laughing

I'm looking foward to it. Despite most other people are rather sceptical

You can't really do that though can you? That's like gloating over your car to a child with a remote control one. (and that's not an aside that DS owner's are children) It's just different leagues.

If an immersive, diverse and enjoyable GTA can be created for the DS, what's stopping a Wii GTA?
I would have thought Wii + GTA = ŁŁŁ for Rockstar?! Wink
slugzinio on 11 Mar '09
