That's right folks, it's that time again: two bloggers square off in debate over one subject in our Point/Counterpoint feature. This time, we're talking GTA: Chinatown Wars and whether or not the title should be 2D or 3D. So, without further ado, hit the button below and read the arguments.

yeah, the new engine.

if the engine is good enough, the game will be smooth and have the gameplay elements needed to recreate the gta franchise on the nintendo ds.

and who knows, maybe this game engine will be the beginning of other games being really good, IF... the gta game comes out good.

quite honestly, either way could work. Rockstar knows how to do 2D and they know how to do 3D. personally, i just want that feel of exhilaration you get from running fron the cops in GTA2 ... hmm, maybe i AM leaning more for 2D. but still, either one could work.

No stylus-based control scheme, no. Seriously, I'm starting to lose faith in this system because everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon.

Come on! If Transformers could do it with 65MB of space, I'm sure they can give it 3d justice.
