    They already replicated the original GTA pretty much entirely back on the GBC (which was staggering), so I would be expecting something a little more that that.

    No screen shots yet, just that splash page.

    Nah, I taught the one on the GBC was a bit of a cop up!

    Nope, Grand Theft Auto - Advance came out for the GBA a few years ago which looked a lot like GTA 2.

    VR!

    What would be amazing about a Wii GTA ??

    Seriously, i can't think of one thing about it that would make it as good as or better than the PS3 and 360 GTAIV

    Waggling the wiimote around isn't enough to make something amazing.

    Jesus! that's a bit unexpected. Here's hoping it doesn't look like vomit on a screen graphics-wise! Ninja Gaiden DS looks pretty good though so you never know.

    bizzare that this is coming out on a console by "family-friendly" nintendo. this could be a move on nintendo's part to get away from kiddie-console problems (they're selling bazillions of wii's, but no games) and getting into the "hardcore" market. could be a good tester.

    Well admitedally I never played it. But, according to Wikipedia

    "The Game Boy Color version [of GTA1] was technologically unabridged, which was quite a technical achievement due to the sheer size of the cities, converted tile-for-tile from the PC original, making them many times larger than most Game Boy Color game worlds were because of the handheld's limited hardware. To cater for the target younger generation, however, the game was heavily censored, with gore and swearing removed."

    Maybe censorship in such a game is unfortunate, but replicating the cities in their entirety is unarguably impressive on the Gameboy Colour. (Not GBA)

    Nah it didn't really touch GTA1, it wasn't that good of a game. But some might complain that it was fun.

    i got it when it was released on ps1 because i had heard of it on pc, and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. the graphics, even for the time, were far below par, but the freedom the game allowed was unreal. GTA2 was a far better technical achievement, but the goodness just meant that you longed for a 3d version... which was long rumoured.

    +1 for that! they were both deadly games! GTAII had the whole gang popularity thing which was class (the more you did for one, the more the others hated you!) Funnily enough, i don't think i ever finished any of the first 2 games....

    I miss the kill frenzies/rampages!!
