    When it comes to GTA games

    I have to admit I am a virgin when it comes to GTA franchise. I’ve only played the other games for a few minutes and lost interest immediately. When I saw this game I decided to take a chance and try it out and I’m very glad I took that chance. This game was flat out mind blowing, that smart graphics worked well on the DS and became more appealing the more I played it.

    The controls were easy to pick up and they work smoothly. The camera being at an angle works and looks great. The story progressed great and if you happen to fail missions a lot (like I did) it makes it simple to start the mission over, taking away the frustration.

    The short mini games that were included using the touch screen were obviously not meant to be difficult but they helped polish the game to perfection making it that much more compelling to play. The story was clever, I’m not sure how similar it is to the other GTA games, but with it being my first time I thought it was enjoyable and funny the whole way through.

    I not the kind of person that can play games hours on end, usually after playing a game for an hour or so I’m done for a while. But this game kept me interested the whole way through and I beat it over the weekend. I would say this has to be one of my favorite games I’ve played on the DS if not my favorite. I highly recommend everyone getting this game, even if you haven’t played GTA before or never like the GTA series, you’re bound to be converted.

      Introduction Since the release of GTA III, it would be hard to believe that rockstar could go back to the classic view that was presented in 1 and 2. Well, they have done it and it is extremely successful. Going back to the old view is not taking away anything really, but adding tons of new features and making the game possible on the Nintendo DS hardware. Graphics When i say that the graphics have went back to GTA I and II style, that doesn't mean they look exactly the same, they actually loo...

      Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars Review 0

      It might be surprise many to find that GTA: Chinatown Wars is actually the forth forth GTA game to appear on a Nintendo system. Really, it's true. You could well be forgiven for forgetting the previous titles, GTA1 and GTA2 were developed by Tarantula Studios (now owned by Rockstar and used for game testing) and GTA Advance was the work of Digital Eclipse (Now found porting old arcade games). Not a great legacy for those who know the series from it's portable versions, because they were an unpla...
