Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars IGN review

:shock: and :o!

Looks like I have to buy it.

"Graphics - 9.5" :lol: the game look terrible.

The lesson here folks is that "Don't judge a game by it's graphics", right?

Try looking at the game, not terribly bloated screenshots that make everything all fuzzy.

All DS games look terrible in screenshots. The best of them actually look pretty in real life.

They look the same to me

Those screenshots look more than twice the size of a DS screen to me.

But you're already cherrypicking images, so it seems you just want to dislike the game.

And now the thread turns to graphics....

Anyway it looks like Rockstar made a great DS game, I will have to check it out :)

I don't want to dislike the game.I have no interest in the game whatsoever.I was just proving a point that it looks the same as a game that was released in 1999 and doesn't deserve 9.5 for graphics.

how much points of the score is just the brand ? :?

Chinatown Wars looks much better to me, especially you take into account you'll be playing it on a screen dozens of inches smaller than you would a PS1 game :/

What would deserve 9.5 for graphics on the DS, especially for a game on that scale?

I totally agree with everyone who has been shocked by this game getting such high scores

10/10 from Gamesradar:

9.25 from GameInformer: http://gameinformer.com/NR/exeres/DFE0F627-2B51-42AC-B2F5-99706F49746C.htm

Holy crap, did not see such high scores coming. Handheld GOTY? I might actually pick this up now.

Congrats Rockstar, seriously, job well done.

Remember how much **** this game got when the first screenshots were posted? Damn fanboys.

Always trust R*. They never make bad games.

I thought it'd be crap when I heard about a GTA on the DS..... but as soon as I saw the gameplay trailer I knew I was dead WRONG!

I can't wait to play this game..... I'm also really excited to play Henry Hatsworth.

Well all these reviewers did the same for GTA4, so it doesn't matter to me. Seems GTA just isn't for me.

These scores shouldn't be that surprising to anyone who has followed the various previews of the game.

It surprises me that so many people jump to judge this game without doing any basic research on it.. well actually, no it doesn't surprise me at all.

Wow I didn't expect such a high score.

as someone who has the game the reviews dont suprise me at all. Graphics are pretty good for a DS game and it looks alot better than GTA 1, 2 or London. Controls are smooth and easy to master although the touchscreen tasks seem unneccesary and feel like a gimmick more than improving the gameplay (having to hotwire vehicles gets a bit tedious)

i'd give it 9/10......10 if they took the touchscreen gimmicks out of it. Its a good addition to the GTA series

Wow, the game is doing a LOT better than expected. Might pick this up.

:o

I know we're not supposed to have emoticon posts, but that really is all there is express. I did not see this coming.

Since I have a softspot for top-down GTA games this is a must buy for me. This is especially great considering how cheap DS games are.

I'll be the first to admit that I doubted this game. I haven't picked up my DS in ages, but that might change now.
