1crippled by ds graphics engine  Nov 20, 2009
I was so happy when this came out. I'm really in to the GTA series. but this games had a serious lack of GTA feel to it. it has the story but it just doesn't feel right. Nintendo should just stick to they're do best and make games for casual gamers. GTA is anything but casual. Sorry to the Nintendo fans but its not that special anymore. Nintendo was great for its time but out dated. Buy a ps3. :)

1A Major, Major Disappointment for the PSP  Nov 17, 2009
I was very excited to have access to yet another GTA title for my PSP. So excited, in fact, that I bought it the first weekend it was launched. Well, it took all of about 30 seconds to be disappointed... As is typical for GTA games, they have a back story to the game play. However, in this case, the story is told not through video (as with every other GTA title), but through still pictures with scrolling text. This was a bad sign from the start. Once the gaming began, the disappointment only continued and gained momentum. The game play is cartoonish and reminiscent of a Nintendo title from the late 80s. Um, hello... we are in the 21st century. I don't know if the expectations of DS owners are so low, or that the producers of the GTA series have just gotten lazy, but this thing was let down after let down. I then thought that I could overcome the weak game play with the hilarity that is the radio (Lazlo on VRock and VCPR in general both make me laugh out loud), but your options are limited to clubby sounding background music. I then realized that this game is completely voice over-free. Um, excuse me...? As a long time consumer of the GTA series, I can find little to identify this as a related title other than the name on the front of the box. Weak. Very, very weak.

In summary, I feel completely and utterly ripped off. $40 for this major let down...? I would still have felt ripped off at $20, but I might not be as angry as I am now. If you are a PSP owner with any prior experience with the GTA series, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. You will only be as disappointed and let down as I am. I wonder how much they will give me for it at GameStop?

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.
