It'll be interesting to see how they use the DS technology to their advantage. Is there no information on if the view will be birds eye? Because it's either that or a small map.

Well I didnt know what I would think of this game when it was first announced for the DS. I just couldn't see how my favorite sandbox game would work on the DS so I didnt follow it much. After watching a good couple trailers lastnight and reading a bit about it I have to say am impressed by what they have done. Placed my pre-order today as the game is out on friday.

Any1 else own a DS thinking of this game ? Some info below.

This game is better than I thought it would be, I've tested it out and it's really interesting how R* have actually made use of the touch screen. I'm enjoying it so far.

So glad your all saying that, I preordered it (it's already dispatched) on a trust of Rockstar making a good game as opposed to it looking good.
