“The nail-a-trick mode translated to real life only by how often I stacked it in the game relating to how much I stacked it at the park. Always.”

Big trouble in little China

News from Jae - July 16th @ 10:42am

How fitting that I'm the one making this post. Rockstar Leeds, in conjunction with Rockstar North, are bringing the Grand Theft Auto series to Chinatown! Now this is my kind of GTA. The title aptly named Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars is due for release this summer on the Nintendo DS.

Press release:


"This is a game that will deliver a rich, fast-paced and intense 'Grand Theft Auto' experience that will be truly unique to Nintendo's handheld platform," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "Rockstar Leeds, along with the team at Rockstar North, has built upon a decade of progressive design on Grand Theft Auto, and has created something
fundamentally fresh and immersive."



Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is an entirely original entry into the critically acclaimed Grand Theft Auto series, and brings a new level of interactivity to its sprawling open environments. With the use of the DS touch screen, players will navigate their way through the streets as they uncover the truth behind an epic tale of crime and corruption
within the Triad crime syndicate, delivering the unprecedented amount of depth that has become a true trademark of the franchise.


Now I'd like to see the main character be some nerdy 25 year old Asian who drives a crappy BMW around Haymarket (Sydney's Chinatown district) hot wiring Civics, WRXs, FTOs and Supras. Maybe the odd Lancer here and there. He'll also have to find internet cafes across town where he can sit down and play the latest CS mod and get himself into the local Triad. Oh the possibilities of living vicariously through this game.
