The multiplayer aspects of the originals? I can't remember those. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1710 Joined: 2 Jan 2008     | Hmm. I was never a fan of the old top-down GTA driving games. I imagine they'll attempt to implement a good bit of "stylus mechanic" into a DS incarnation... depending on how they well they do with that, I may check this one out. |

E3 2008: Nintendo Announces GTA on DS
Nintendo delivered a few surprises during its press conference at this year's E3, including news of a brand new Grand Theft Auto game made exclusively for the DS.
The game, called Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, will arrive on the Nintendo DS this winter. It is set in a modern day Liberty City, and features a custom game engine, new characters, and the classic free roaming GTA gameplay.
Sadly, we didn't get to see any more of it than the logo, and we weren't informed how it will take advantage of the DS' touch screen, if at all.
