I haven't come across a single bug yet in Chinatown wars.

i came across a couple, i just had to switch off and back on the DS.  it was no big deal, especially for a game i got so much enjoyment out of.  certainly no deal breaker.  

one was quite funny, i stole this van and it was as though i jusmped in the passenger seat with the driver still in as it seemed to have a mind all of its own and it wouldn't let me drive it.  it also wouldn't let me jump out.  at first i thought it was some weird mission but 5 minutes later when it was still driving around and around pointlessly i realised i had to stop and restart the DS.

Weird. Did you try hitting the attack button to throws those chumps out?

I'm going to open my Animal Crossing gate in 10 minutes BTW.

16:40 GMT.

I am a hardcore gamer. I love my DS, but I refuse to buy GTA: CW due to it being a glitchy product.

If a developer can't take the proper time to bug test and Q&A their game before it hits the market --ESPECIALLY-- if it's something that CAN'T be patched, they WILL NOT get my money!

Simple as that.

That is why Nintendo always gets my $... They ensure quality before something is shipped. The one and only exception being the original Metroid Prime. IT had a game-stopping glitch and, of course, I got one of the bad disks... It still ranks among my favorite games of all time, though, so you have to know I was going through agony waiting for corrected copies to come out!

I'm glad you guys quoted me on this. I made this GTA post, edited it slightly, made the Little King's Story post and IT entirely replaced my GTA post... Ugh.

At the very least, I am glad someone saw my opinion.

That's because LKS is too awesome and deleted all GTA related stuff. You can't have a king socializing with a common thief!

Why not? I am the King of Mexico, and I hang around with you.

Now excuse me as I ride my golden chariot pulled by a dozen white donkeys.

To the Gulf! I want to eat fish.

So you admit being a druglord?!

Yeah I saw a documentary about Mexico, damn messed up there. You guys are the new Columbia!

Pretty much. Several analysts saw this coming years ago, but nobody would listen. Now drug money is involved all the way up the highest government echelons. It's going to take a while to improve things, considering that violence is closely linked with corruption and impunity around here.

New pics in the FFCC thread BTW

Touch me.

Where were you when I needed slave labour fruit pickers in Animal Crossing? That's right, nowhere to be seen. So I gave the vision tester I was saving for you to Bugs. Your virtual clinic will never be complete Dr Steel. If you are even a Doctor!

GameStop Says ‘GTA: Chinatown Wars’ Is ‘Exceeding Expecations’

“‘GTA: Chinatown Wars’ is exceeding our expectations and illustrating the power of the franchise on a new platform,” GameStop spokesman Chris Olivera said in an e-mail to MTV News. “We’ve seen a solid lift in sales of ‘Chinatown Wars’ following the launch of the DSi and believe that the product will continue to enjoy a long life at our stores as the buzz around the new handheld gaming experience continues to grow.” Nintendo’s DSi model of the DS platform was released a day after NPD’s sales-tracking window for March.

Is 'Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars' A Flop?

The game's publisher, Take Two Interactive, doesn't publicly state that there's a problem. "We're confident in the game, and we think it has long-term potential for success," company spokesman Alan Lewis told MTV News. "We're trying to pioneer mature games on the platform."

Lewis dismissed comparisons to the kid-targeted "Pokémon," instead saying casting "Chinatown Wars" against the handful of other M-rated games released on a system that is commonly associated with children and moms. He said "Chinatown Wars" outperformed those other M-rated DS games at launch and is already the second-best-selling M-rated game on the platform.
