Up to now, truly violent games on the DS have been slim pickins. While Trauma Center does contain blood and exposed organs, it's not exactly a Tarantino flick. Dementium: The Ward is probably the closest thing to a gore fest the system offers, but where can you turn for more realistic law suit inducing violence? Hmmm....For guns and fisticuffs, Rockstar Studios is always a safe bet. With the rampant success of their Grand Theft Auto franchise it was just a matter of time until even Nintendo's pocket monster wrangling handeld was corrupted.
GTA: Chinatown Wars is a DS exclusive set for release this May. Two major factors stand out about Big N's maiden voyage into bedlam.
First is the stylized approach Chinatown takes versus past iterations of the series. Obviously the game had to be made in a more efficient way for the DS' cartridge space and I hope that the solid mechanics of prior GTA outings will make Chinatown feel right at home.
(Gasps)... Just a few days from pixelated retirement...Second and most notable is the scope of the game. Rockstar claims that Chinatown will be substantially larger than GTA's current PSP offerings. While "larger" can be construed to any number of meanings (gameplay options, missions, the size of the box) it's rumored that the in-game map is near GTA IV in size.
First Nintendo's trading exotic animals over the internet and now it's just a countdown until people are bartering crack for Bulbasaurs. I'm not saying that I'm not excited, but please... don't bring Bulbs into this...
