Anyone play Grand Theft Auto yet? (GBA that is)
 
IGN and Gamespot's review are conflicting.
IGN likes it. GS doesn't.
Thanks for any personal impressions! :)

No, but apparently U R! ;)

FYI, GBA means Gameboy Advance.
This means that I'm asking if anyone has played the new GTA for the GBA.
Hopefully this clarifies things. :)

I tried to buy it yesterday, but Target didn't have it in stock. I'm going to get it at some point. Liberty City is suppose to be huge in the game. Looks like a fun GBA title.

Gamerush had it already along with the Classic series 2 minus Dr. Mario.

... but the Blockbuster around the corner has a few copies there. Crud, you have enough on your GC to cover it. ;)

... three San Antonians post in a row... ;) (and we all use the same BBV!)

jediwicz... I thought about using the R1G1Free coupon and renting Castlevania and Dr Mario.

More wanting Dr. Mario for wireless play w/ my wife but hesitant because we already have Dr. Wario (WW Inc.), the downloadable version from the preview disc and Dr. Mario 64. Wireless matches do sound like fun and it only takes 1 cart.

Picked up GTA for the GBA and I'm totally underwhelmed. I never liked the original Playstation versions of GTA and this one suffers from the same top down graphics and at least the Playstation versions had radio stations (all you get is crappy digitized music in this version) or you could stick in your own audio CD to listen to. It is cool to cruise Liberty City again with a Mafia storyline, but the game just isn't fun to play in 2D. I'm selling it tomorrow.

I could only recommend it if you played the original GTA games and liked them. Everything that is fun about GTA as a 3D game is missing in this version.
