Final Thoughts
"I'm glad I got a lot more time to sit down with Chinatown Wars. I knew this game was big, but not this big. It's an ambitious title for the DS, and one Rockstar seems to be taking very seriously. While I nearly spent two hours with the game, I still didn't feel like I even scratched its surface." - Kotaku

Full 90 minute hands-on preview:

It seems like everything's coming together to make this a must for DS owners.

Looks pretty good. It'll be fun to play an old style GTA game again. They were pretty good, especially GTA2.

Agreed, wow @ completely murdering the game by putting that art style and it STILL looks bad. I wouldn't be surprised if the city was small as hell also. You'd be doing yourself an honor by getting the real ones on PSP instead if you want a portable one.

I really enjoyed the 2D GTAs back in the day, so I'll be checking this out.

Also, what exactly is it that has the kiddies complaining so much? The visuals? It's the DS..what were you expecting?

I have no idea what is going on from looking at the pictures. It's so blurry and the weapon effects-explosions takes up half the screen. Have to see it in motion.

Reading is good...

I think it looks really bad, not the kind of thing I'll be picking up, I prefere the games that focus on 2D graphics on the DS, those come out well, 3D is rarely up to par.

I agree. GTA VCS was actually really good, that though does not look brilliant... It just highlights how big the differece is between the ps3 and DS in terms of graphical capability...

Agree. But, it's for the DS. If it was for PSP it'd look better.

Same here. GTA fell off for me a bit though. It used to be the game I'd buy a console for.... not so much anymore. IV is still a great game, but wasnt as fun as the PS2 versions IMO.

This is an enormous 3D world and these screens are bloated, both factors for why the game might not look perfect, but it certainly holds up well compared to other cel-shaded DS games IMO.

I'm looking forward to it. It looks like to a nice throwback to the old GTA games with the sensibilities of the current ones. Should be a lot of fun.

Guess not even a glowing preview from someone who actually played the game could stand against fanboys' logic anymore.
