Anyone got it? I was seriously tempted the other day when i saw it, reasoned that the GTA franchise isn't going to just churn out any old st, but its £30!!

I can play DS at work, and I'm getting perilously close to finishing Zelda, Phantom Hourglass (Which was bloody excellent by the way), so thinking that this would be great for killing a few hours at my desk. Any thoughts people?

rsv gone!

Saw the advert the other day, looks pretty damn good.
Think i'll pick it up soon.
May try Zelda as well... I haven't played the DS one before!

Zelda is awesome, whiled away many an hour on that whilst at work. Its actually proper hard as well considering how kiddy orientated the DS and Zelda are.



I had to get help off the internet. More than once too.

£30! I bought my copy off play.com for £17. It is great fun, you have to adjust your driving style a little as you can't see as far ahead, but if you know the map for GTA:IV well then you'll soon find yourself spotting landmarks and places you recognise.

I've got totally drawn into the drug-dealing sideline, waiting for tips of cheap deals which I'll then buy out and horde until someone is desperate for that giant stash of coke that I've got, which I'll then sell to them for a massive profit.

I was just cruising round liberty city doing deals, saw a big van with what looked like blue stars on the side, and a red pointer over it. Followed it round for a while trying to stop it, but it just kept on flat out, barging everything out of the way. What was it?

Shoot it until it nearly blows up, kill the driver, take it to your hideout and there's weapons in it, same goes for the little vans with drugs in them, though they're much easier to steal.

Still finding the game a little tricky, but I reckon its going to be a grower. Just trying to set myself up as a big time dealer but I've only got two guys to buy and sell with at the moment, but I've already made over £15k! Keep getting e-mails saying people want to buy weed, but I can't seem to buy any from anyone....

Stick to the missions for a bit, you'll rack up a lot of money and make a lot of contacts, then it'll become much easier to find good deals.

I got this yesterday (birfday, init) and I have to say I think it's excellent.

I haven;t played GTA since Vice City so I don't know how much the Playstation games have moved on but I like the feature where you can pick your destination and it guides you there, the two screens work very well and the mix between using the stylus and the joypad is very intuitive.
