Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is the highly anticipated first game in the GTA franchise designed for play on the Nintendo DS. But although it comes in a small package, this is a full-fledged game that stands on its own. With an all-new, deep story that approaches the familiar sights and sounds of the infamous Liberty City from a different perspective, an innovative control system and multiplayer options, Chinatown Wars captures the tone and flavors of the long-running GTA series in unique ways that both longtime players and those coming to it for the first time will find hard to put down. .c… More >>
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 psp.

I guess Nintendo DS is a really lame system because the DS people seem really impressed by this. As a GTA addict on PS2 and then playing Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories on PSP, I had naturally high expectations. I got this game for Christmas from my spouse and had to apologize for making her waste her money! Compared to previous PSP GTA titles this game is practically unplayable. I am really surprised that Rockstar put this crap out. I can see that they would need to create a less sophisticated game for DS, but then why not re-tool it for PSP, like they did with their PS3 titles? They lost a lot of credibility with me. Don’t buy it if you are expecting anything like GTA VCS or LCS.

This is like going backwards in time on PSP. The graphics are just terrible. If the DS people are happy about this quality, it’s time to buy a PSP and see what real portable gaming can be like

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?
