Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars may seem a bit archaic graphically for those who have become accustomed to the next-gen versions, but if you let the overhead view and cartoony graphics deter you from this little gem, you are making a huge mistake. GTA: Chinatown Wars is just as deep and compelling as any in the GTA Series and then some. The biggest kick in this game is that you can buy and sell drugs. Where was that in the previous installments? How can you even have a game about gangs, killings, backstabbing and the like without a little drug dealing?

The graphics and overhead view may put off some who have gotten used to the 3D environments and realism of GTA 4, but it only adds a touch of sentimentality to those who have grown up on the original GTA and GTA 2 as it harkens back to these early releases with a few added nuances including an e-mail system, a GPS, and the stylus gameplay. The story and sound (including music) is good and the design is top-notch. Rockstar North has another winner on its hands with this one.

it is a ok game

Chinatown Wars is the highest rated game on the Nintendo DS. It has been given a 9.5 on ign.com, and as you've already noticed, it won the Gamepro Editor's Choice and they gave it 5 stars. This game deserves it because there are many things that you can do within the game. There are a lot of story missions to keep you very occupied. If you do get tired of playing the story missions, you can play "sidequests". What I mean by this is you can find the Lions of Fo, Vigilante, Save People, be a firefighter, do Rampages, and you can also do random tasks for people on the street. Also, you can sell drugs and make a hell of a lot of money doing it. I currently have a million dollars on my game. Who says crime doesn't pay? There is also multicard multiplayer and you can play on Wi-Fi Connection. After you complete the story missions you can set out to find the Lions of Fo. When you find both make sure you link your DS to the Social Clubs to unlock two new missions.

This is a great game and definitely deserves the high scores that it has received on serveral different gaming sites and magazines.

Here are my stats. If you want to add me talk to me and I'll be glad to give you my Friend Code.

I think this game was a total plus but there were a couple of problems. one is the camera view point it was kind of bad thinking that were are you actually shooting. But thank god their was a target mark. The graphics in this game were burly. The shooting in this game are crazy tons of cops try to take you down so you won't get bored with your missions.

I should Garnette you this game is going to be a blast it really worth a rental.

add me my firend code 19777434409 want to play now. let go. if youre godder than me let see.let do it now

graphics are terrible. game gets boring. not good enough for its price. it doesnt make u want to play it. just hate it.

First off, I would like to say this game is one of the best Ds games out there now. If you are a fan of this series, you will shortly find most of the mission ideas are from other games, but they still are fun to play. You might notice on the back of the box it says it has multiplayer. This is true and it works fine. Once you start playing you notice that this game takes place in liberty city. This game has a few problems, 1, the camera is placed above you and your looking down, and 2 there is repetitive gameplay, 3 the driving takes a while to get used too. But this game is fun and it should keep you entertained for a while to come.
