5I love this game  Nov 05, 2009
its like a regular grand theft auto game on the go, you can do anything that you can do in a normal grand theft auto game 5 stars well-earned

5PERFECT; do not think twice about buying it  Oct 26, 2009
This is an all-in-all PERFECT game. It is easily the best DS game of all-time. If you can't afford it, do some baby sitting, or lawn mawing. If you own a DS, and have the cash, I cannot think of a better investment. Best graphics on the DS, best gameplay for a GTA game, and incredible depth and freedom. This game was made with lots of love.

5A must have for PSP owners  Oct 23, 2009
Not all that long ago, Rockstar released Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars on the DS to mass critical acclaim, resulting in one of the best games to ever grace the handheld. Well, Rockstar has finally ported Chinatown Wars to the PSP with the same spectacular results, and just like it was on the DS, Chinatown Wars on the PSP is one of the absolute best games available for the handheld. Playing as the vengeful Huang Lee, you partake in all the usual GTA-flavored gameplay goodness, and just like on the DS, the gameplay here on the PSP is just as much fun. Graphically speaking the PSP version gets a slight upgrade from the DS original, but the one aspect of the game that gets lost in translation is the mini-games. Hotwiring a car, tattooing a gang member, making molotov cocktails, and more besides just aren't as fun here on the PSP, mostly thanks to not having a touch screen. Still, that is really the PSP version of Chinatown Wars' only flaw to find, as the rest of the game is nearly flawless all around. All in all, if you missed out on Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars the first time around and you own a PSP, this game is an absolute must have.

5Chinatown Winner  Oct 22, 2009
Set in GTA IV's Liberty City, Chinatown Wars goes back to the classic GTA over-top view with a more animated approach and is much more enjoyable to play then Liberty and Vice City stories bar none. The gunplay, driving, side missions have a more arcade feel to it which is what easier to play then the previous PSP GTAs.

The cut scenes are a let down, no talking just reading and loud annoying music playing throughout, I found my self skipping over them there is no menu option to turn off cut scene music.

Because you have the over-top view the gunplay has a easier sense of play to it, you can run and shoot easier switching weapons is brought up by pressing `select' and is easy to maneuver dozens of dumpsters to find extra guns. I just wish they gave you a little more bullets when you find guns because I feel like I run-out even when I try to stock up.

The driving is fun and fairly simple to do, however I felt it was to unforgiving here you got a small screen driving through a big city I can never drive without crashing it seems, you drive under the train tracks or something and they tracks don't dim thy stay solid so you can't see your car when you're driving under it, driving at night the light from the light posts can look like on-coming cars if you're drving fast enough so is sometimes hard to maneuver they should have made the streets just a little bigger, and I would've liked to see motorcycles drive like cars, they're all over the road and very hard control if you wanna drive fast which is what you want to do in a GTA game.

I never knew drug dealing could be so fun and addictive, it's an easy way to get a lot of money, buy cheap and sell high and with drug dealers `tip-offs' you can find good deals. I got so addicted I started playing those side missions more then the story missions.

Evading cops has never been beter, if you're driving away from the cops and you make the squad car crash the normally bold yellow star will fade and if you behave it will go away, the higher your wanted level the more the cops will try to stop you and more to stop for you.

I like the little thing the game has you do, like stealing a parked car you twist the analog to unscrew bolts to hot wire cars, flip the L and R buttons to dig threw garbage dumpsters or to break the windshield out of your car. These are fun little ways to better engage you in the game, they're easy to do and you never get the sense of frustration.

This is one of PSP's best games to date and a great installment for Grand Theft Auto. If you own a PSP and you should own this game.


4Very Good Game  Sep 26, 2009
The game is very good, the controls are responsibe, every thing looks very very detailed, the camera is not that good, but overall it is not a big issue, this game is very time consumer, after some time you will see yourself making your routs for a better drog dealing, and the missions are very interactive, if you try to look for guns in the trash cans, steeling cars and trying to start them, trowing boxes to you partener when robing a truck, every thing is very cool, over all this is a good game, still I think it could be better, but we will have to wait for the next issue of GTA for Nintendo DS....
