Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars looks like it’s going to be a pretty fun mesh of old school and new school GTA gameplay. The fact it’s one of the few interesting DS games that isn’t an RPG is also a pretty swanky plus point.
If you’re looking foreard to Rockstar’s latest bottled controversy, you’ll be glad to know that there is a release date for both North America and Europe. Filthy American pig dogs get the game on March 17, 2009, while unwashed, toothless Eurotrash can start peddling drugs and whacking Triads on March 20.
It’s been a while since I’ve had more than just turn-based battles to look forward to on the DS. This shall be a refreshing title.
