Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will be Horrible
Wow, so I finally saw some screens for Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, and I couldn’t be less excited about it anymore. GTA will be returning to the two dimensional top-down view of the GTAs of the past on PC and PSone. That may have been okay if Grand Theft Auto had only come out a little while ago, but now after I waited years after playing the original GTA for a fully 3-D version, and finally got four editions of said 3-D version I really cannot go back to the crappy two dimensional awful control scheme, really not that fun GTA ever again.
I don’t care about Nintendo’s dual screen/touch capabilities or gimmicks. Sure the controls won’t be as painful as the original GTA no doubt because of the added option of being able to use the touch screen, but I still can’t bring myself to care about the awful graphics and camera to play it.
Which just goes to prove my point that the P SP is a much better system for actual portable gaming. Nintendo has become a company of gaming gimmicks, bells and whistles to get you to ignore blatant flaws in the system’s true gaming functionality. Ooohh a touch screen wow, now where are my good games and graphics that aren’t three generations off the current curve.
Why would you ever want a 2D top down GTA when you could play full versions of the real GTA with Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories on PSP? Why?
