Screenshots here.

Wow. The graphics are worse than GTA2.

It's like going back in time.

no i wouldnt say that, GTA2 had little to know 3d.
but i do wonder how this is going to play out...
it doesnt look entirely fantastic, but, ill wait till i see a gameplay video.

GTA2 wasn't grainy though

on the PS1 it was.
hell, on the PS1, it was downright awful.

This isnt GTA2 and its not on the PSX.

true, so, youre going to get it then?

Hell no. It's like going back in time.

I don't have a DS. SO no.

WOULD you get it if you had a DS?

Probably.

oh. well, if it gets good reviews ill check it out.

Did GTA on the GBA get good reviews?

no, which is why im skeptical about this one.
i got GBA Advance without reading reviews, and boy was that a mistake.
