Car Jackin' DSi?

[PGTracy]

Sounds like Tag Games is gonna bring Car Jack Streets to DSi. Talk about bringing the game to platforms beyond mobile has to mean DSi or PSP. I mean, it's not exactly the sort of thing to land on Xbox Live. Considering how poorly GTA: Chinatown Wars sold, is this even a good move?

Only if Tag Games fixes it. Don't get me wrong, Car Jack Streets has plenty going for it (slick presentation being one thing) but those solid foundations need some serious tweaking.

I totally agree with the points you raised in the iPhone review but I'd like to add that there is too much driving between locations early in the game. I felt while playing that the initial clutch of locations should have been clustered a bit more so that you have a hope of at least learning the layout of one area before the game's missions expand out into the city. Also, seeing as driving isn't really the game's strong suit (I digs the combat me), less treking between distant way points would be welcome.

As for the DSi, maybe a second screen would benefit Car Jack Streets, though screen real estate isn't really an issue on the iPhone so maybe not...

I can't get interested in the DSi at all, which is a tad weird since I love the DS. I'd be more interested in seeing CJS on WiiWare or XBLA to be quite honest. I've not played it yet, but if it's not 100% on the iPhone, I can't see how it will be on the DSi.

[PGTracy]

I definitely agree with you, Fraser, about the driving distances. I failed A LOT of missions because I had to drive a long way to reach an objective, but didn't have enough time to get there.

I guess a DSi version would benefit enormously from good solid physical controls. There's no beating them for traditional game styles such as this.
