Here it is, a brand new Grand Theft Auto game. For me, that's a day one purchase. I can't wait !!!!!

But for you, how do you see it ?

What score will be given to this game from Gamespot ?

I bet 9.5 ;)

I bet 8.5. Maybe 9 (who klnows) but 8.5 looks more probable. Btw, every preview says the game is pure awesomeness ^_^

I don't think it looks very good at all. I expect it to get at least a 7.0 though, just because it's GTA.

If you guys expect such low scores, is it because it is on the DS ?

Braid and World of Goo got awesome scores but they weren't grand scale games.

GTA IV got 10 remember ?

I expect a lower score because I don't think it looks very fun. It just looks awkward. It reminds of the original GTAs, and not in a good way.

They should call it GTA: Blob Wars. I can see one of the complaints being: "hard to tell whats going on on screen". Less than 8.

ONM gave it 9.0. Review was highly positive, sounds like a great game getting back to its roots. Bet on an 8.5 from GS though.

people are going to be so shocked by the critical praise for this title, all the previews have the writers drooling

it could be the definitive handheld GTA, i'm guessing gamespot will give it a 8.5 though,, ONM gave it a 94 (out of 100 not a 90)

8.5 for being innovative, having intuitive use of the touch screen, and the only criticism is that it's not the GTA you played on the PS2/PC/Xbox/PS360.

I'm predicting it to get an AA score. Probably 8.5. I think it looks very good, and actually think I'll enjoy it more than GTA4, but not everybody will think the same. It just looks more fun, and not as repetitive, at least from what I've heard. Also, I never played the older games, so the style of gameplay will be new to me.

Considering the limitations of the platform this game will appear on (The Nintendo DS), I am overwhelmed at the amount of detail and optimization this game appears to possess. Looks like a 9.0, and a candidacy for DS GOTY 2009.

I think that it's because of the hardware that the game isn't into people heart !

The DS is a monster console and this is a monster game.

I still think it may get an AA score. Just because a game gets a great score on a bunch of other sites doesn't mean that everybody will score it that well. But don't get me wrong. I do think it will be great, and will be one of the first games I get whenever I get a DS (probably after New Super Mario Bros. and Phantom Hourglass), and honestly, I think I'll have more fun with it than I did with GTA4. But I something is telling me that it will get an AA score. I do hope I'm wrong though. Although if I'm not wrong, I can already see a bunch of people saying "lol, flop," even if it gets an AA score, which most people on here seem to think it will get, just based on the fact that other sites scored it higher. :P

i would hope it would get a 9.0 or 8.5, but from gamespots reviews so far i see an 7.0 or a 8.0. doesn't matter still getting no matter what gamespot gives it.

I'm glad it's getting such low expectations. You know why? Once it gets an AAA it'll be considered a massive suprise and will clear expectations. Quote me on this, I have it, it's a 9.0 minimum.

But if you've read anything about GTA:CTW you'll realize that most of the flaws of the original games are non-existant.

The game looks great. I loved GTA2, and so did my little sister (She liked driving properly, and not killing anyone, but Elvis groups :P), and I can't wait to get this game.

That's just because Gamespot has some very lame reviewers.

The "OMG GTA WAS A FLOP" threads will be so annoying if the game gets lower than a 9 here.

I have the old GTA games on my PC> the ds seems to be based on that so really not a big deal. I think GS will give this a 9-9.5, because I don;t think DS has any game like this available.
