DS Ferret

Okay so aaaages ago I posted about a GTA game that was to be released on the DS. Well it happened and it’s hrere and I’ve played it and it’s awesome!

For starters it’s way different from the playstation versions, in terms of graphics (but of course it would be since the DS just doesn’t have that kind of graphical ability) and in terms of Gameplay (Which seriously makes up for the graphics.) The driving walking controls are pretty much the same, but the camera takes a bit of getting used to since it’s pretty much at a birds eye point of view, but once that’s over an done with, the fun can really begin. X3

The developers used the touch screen in the this game cleverly to make it more interactive, but not in a burdensome way if you know what I mean. Little things like buying and using scratch cards, hot wiring cars and searching through dumpsters make the game that little bit more fun. Ah and how could I forget the good old PDA system with built in GPS, very nice indeed, that has all kinds of useful stuff associated with it, including an online Ammunation!

As usual in addition to the main missions, you have several side missions to, they’re pretty much thrown in for comic relief, but they’re so cool. My personal favourite has to be the one were you have to ditch some girl who for some reason thinks she’s your girlfriend. X3 But even that can’t over shadow the main side mission - the drugs trade - oooooh. Nothing serious of course lol, you just go around interacting with dealers buying and selling a variety of contraband to make a profit. It’s a good thing too because there’s a lot of property to buy and the missions pay peanuts lol. But seriously it’s fun try it, only in the game though!

One last note on the game, and it has to be the police system. they actually managed to make it fun! yes, it;s true, you can get a 6 star wanted level and survive without needing 3 armored trucks, and the best thing is it’s a system that makes sense. Basically every time you get a wanted level you have to destroy a certain number of police cars for that level to make it go down. Destroying the cars can usually be done by some skillful driving to make a pursuing officer crash into a wall. Very cool idea I reckon.

Gosh there was so much I liked about this game I spent hours on end playing it. I only wish it could have been longer. D:

Okay guys I know, I know, I suck big time. DX My buddy - and possibly the only reader of this blog - Ali’s been trying to get me to update for ages and I’ve finally got guilty enough to do it. lol

It’s not all bad news, luckily, no I haven’t updated in a while, but that meant I had time to play a bunch of new games. So in the next few days, I’ll reviewing games such as Grand Theft Auto: China town wars (which was awesome btw), and Rhythm Heaven which which is basically the English version of Rhythm Tengoku which I must have mentioned at some point in the blog. Also there are some upcoming games that I’m eager to chat about so you’ll be reading about them to.

Sweet, so that’s the agenda, you can hold me to it. Thanks for the guilt trip Ali. lol

bai bai for now. X3

Remember a while ago how I said I didn’t want to play Pokemon Diamond, and how I went on some huge rant about me feeling out of sync with it? Forget that! I love that game, it’s awesome. Sure have the benefit of knowing what types all the pokemon are, and what they’ll evolve into, (or if they’ll evolve at all for that matter), but to be honest, that hasn’t really been a problem for me.

My main issue comes to when I’m team building. In Pokemon Silver and Yellow, I knew my favourite pokemon before I even picked up the game. (thank you pokemon anime =3) and I’d build my team mentally, not bothering to train the creatures that didn’t matter, thus preserving valuable trainer battle exp points. But in Diamond I have no choice but to go by stats and types alone, meaning I end up training up a pokemon only to replace it later. D: Though I must say I did pick up a few familiars, like Ghastly, my favourite ghost. <3

Anyways, enough blabbering from me, yeah Pokemon Diamond = good, play it, or at least don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. Shame on me for even doing such a thing. DX
