I just passed the 10% mark after about four hours or so, and the game has basically flatlined. It flatlined after the first 30 minutes, but I kept playing because I was hoping it would pick up. I mean it gets off to a great start, it has some really neat writing and the dual-screen engine is pretty nifty at first, but I have a shitload of complaints about the game (shit music, lack of challenge, dumbed-down driving and fighting mechanics, etc.) and the slow plot development and annoying drug-deal micro-management aren't helping. So if no one is willing to vouch that it picks up later on (no spoilers please!) I think I am done with it.

And yeah, it's coming to the PSP and the iPhone and iPod touch, no doubt with major engine alterations:

PSP owners, rejoice - the highest-rated DS game of all-time (*Source: Metacritic) is now coming to PlayStation Portable on October 20th 2009.

Specifically built for the PSP platform with upscaled widescreen graphics, enhanced lighting and animation and including all new story missions, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will be a powerful experience on the PSP and will be available as both a digital download (via PLAYSTATION Network) and at retail.

Beaterator isn't the only Rockstar title heading to Apple's new gaming platform this Fall. The critically acclaimed Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, currently available for the Nintendo DS™ and coming October 20th for the PlayStation®Portable system, will also be making its way to the iPhone™ and iPod® touch this Fall. Look out for screenshots coming very soon.

Also, massive lols:

the highest-rated DS game of all-time (*Source: Metacritic)


Someone needs to tear this game a new one: no prizes for figuring out who this someone is going to be.
