Grand Trucker Aniki: Shigoto to Kenka to Koimouyou. This Genterprise-published truck driving game seems… familiar. Though, unlike that other “GTA,” this one focuses more on being a responsible truck driver and making your deliveries on time — and then beating dudes up. It also features racing, forklift, and other minigames, and some kind of dating element.

To be honest, a game about being a truck driver slash badass sounds a lot more compelling than the all-purpose sociopathic lackey role GTA games put you in.

Cyberfront publishing GTA: Chinatown Wars in Japan →

The embarrassment continues for Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, maybe, kind of. While Capcom published the GTA games up to IV in Japan, the duties for the DS game (releasing this fall) have gone to Cyberfront, who is… not Capcom. It certainly seems like a slight to me that previous GTAs would be published by one of the biggest names in Japan, and Chinatown Wars would be published by the company behind a game about dogs going to work.

Although Cyberfront also published GTA IV on PC, and Civilization Revolution, so it’s probably more like a new publishing agreement between Take-Two and Cyberfront and less of a snub to Chinatown Wars. And Cyberfront doesn’t actually seem as small as I made them sound — they’ve at least got the Evangelion license.

But I’m not going to let any of that get in the way of my blogging! Hur hur hur Capcom hates Chinatown Wars.

Thoughts concerning GTA: Chinatown Wars

Despite my dissatisfaction with Grand Theft Auto Advance and my tendency to avoid mainstream Western titles, I’m excited about GTA: Chinatown Wars! This month’s issue of Nintendo Power has details on the upcoming game, and I’ve picked the five items that interested me the most.

  • isometric camera angle

Aw, hellz yeah! Maybe this will play/look like my favorite SNES RPG, Shadowrun?

  • cel-shaded polygons with black borders

Or maybe not.

  • missions designed for short periods of play

Fantastic! As I’ve mentioned before, I love to see big games adapted with handheld gamers in mind, so long as the alterations are well thought out.

  • control pad aiming, auto targeting with R button

At first, this sounded like a missed opportunity for touchscreen gunplay and aiming that doesn’t suck. But, after a few minutes of consideration, this was probably for the best, as it’d be annoying to switch control methods everytime a combat situation arises.

  • radio stations play more instrumentals than vocals

Though understandable, this is disappointing. I want to cruise around Liberty City listening to Big Pun’s “Twinz (Deep Cover 98’),” not Darude’s “Sandstorm.”
