- True GTA game - sandbox gameplay, open-world environment, gritty crime narrative.
- M-rating
- Isometric camera angle
- Cel-shaded polygons w/ black borders
- good touch-screen implementation - "tasteful" minigames, streamlining interface
- UI based on a PDA - hub for email, contacts, map, music player, GPS, stat-tracking
- stats uploaded to Rockstar Social Club website via Wi-Fi
- finger-sized icons
- missions designed for shorter periods of play, arcade quality
- aiming with control pad, auto targeting with R button
- subtle autosteer
- if you fail a mission, you can jump back to the action sequence
- chain gun, flamethrower
- good portion of Liberty City is modeled in the game (different routes than console games)
- no probems with load times, draw-in or frame rate
- lots of pedestrians, cars, etc on screen
- Wanted system - objective is to disable police cars any way possible
- real-time weather effects, 24-hour day/night cycle
- lots of radio stations to listen to (more instrumentals than vocals)
- 800,000 lines of hand-optimized source code (hey, the people like the info, right?)
- no details yet on multiplayer/Wi-Fi features
(Note: Kotaku didn't have the November Issue of Nintendo Power so they can't confirm these yet, but they seem pretty legit).
Isometric camera angle?
Aiming with the D-Pad?
Liberty City again?
I'll pass.
Edit: Screenshots.

Just so you know, the gaming industry has no idea what isometric means.

This will find its way onto my flash cart.

Screenshots added in first post.
Wow, this game looks even crappier than I thought.

Why and the hell would they do this instead of porting GTA2 :(

Why are the people four hundred times bigger than the vehicles?

I was wondering that myself.

so you can tell they're people- DS screens remember.
And once again, not isometric- good job gaming industry you learn dem grafics good sum

Good lord the graphics look horrible.
Yep, i'm not buying it >.<
-
Surely the DS can be pushed harder than this?
It's no wonder I use my PSP more.
-
NOOOOOO, They killed GTA =( Seriously, couldn't they just have made a game like GAT1 or GTA2, where only the houses are 3D(Or semi-3D)
I KNOW NDS can do better than whats shown on those screens. =S

I'm going to NOT be a total ass and forgo forming an opinion based on TWO EXTREMELY CRAPPY MAGAZINE SCANS. From the description, it really doesn't sound half-bad. Graphics are only peripheral to fun gameplay, and if the gameplay is fun, then crummy graphics shouldn't matter. Even then, I think the graphics look pretty good. Mega Man 9, anyone?

Ok. Explain to me how these screenshots look bad. What exactly about them is "!@#$%"? If you ask me, the above screenshots look positively great. Last time I saw graphics that nice on the DS was....Phantom Hourglass? The World Ends With You?

- Isometric camera angle
Theres that for starters. Secondly get into any action and it will be cluster !@#$% ahoy. They should stuck to GTA 1/2 style
-
It don't think the game looks that bad.. Anyone know the launch date?
-
Well, those screenshots do look much much better, I guess I shouldn't really judge a book by it's cover.
/lessonlearned
Anyways I'll download it first and give it a try when it comes out.

Yeah I was just reinstating. Guess I just have a personal bias against with only very few good releases for the DS at the moment. It was so promising at the beginning with SM64, MKDS, MPH, All those great games, now it just seems to be an outlet for cook books and brain training...

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong. Wrong.
I have at least 20 DS games I own. All of them are great games. Elite Beat Agents? The World Ends With You? Phoenix Wright? Professor Layton? Castlevania? Advance Wars? All Amazing games. And inexpensive too! The DS is easily my favorite gaming platform.

Well the DS has a Gabillion Mazillion great games. Just play the existing ones for now. Every system has slow periods. There are plenty of good games on the way too. Order of Eclessia? Moon? That KH game with the weird name? Miyamoto even says a new DS zelda is on the way too.

I dont feel its entering a slow period. I feel its a hit a 'Well this is it for serious gaming, expect a few serious games, but from now on your gonna be learning to cook !@#$%' period.
Also I hate KH with a passion >_<
-
358/2 Days? I can't wait for that, along with Order of Ecclesia, of course. And ASH if it's ever released over here.
-
Finally they have released some screenshots. And I must say that it looks great! I can't wait to play this game.
-
This actually looks pretty good.
Also, owning a flash cart has proven to me that the DS has a crapload of awesome games.
