  Published: 2009-03-17, Author: Justin , review by: cnet.com

  • Abstract:  At first glance, Chinatown Wars could be mistaken for a return to the Grand Theft Auto series humble 2D beginnings. The action is viewed from a more or less top-down perspective, and of course you still spend much of your time driving stolen cars and ...

  • Abstract:  Rockstars Grand Theft Auto series is easily the epitome of the open world "sandbox" game design. Other studios have tried to capture that same vibe in their own titles with various levels of success, but for better or worse none have been able to deth...

  • Vast scope in a small package; novel use of touchscreen.
  • Writing is a cut below what wed expect from GTA.
  • Can you miniaturize Grand Theft Auto? The question is moot -- it existed in miniature before GTA3 blew up the world with its mainstreaming of sandbox play. A more valid question is, can a GTA game on the DS, with all the attendant limitations and gimmi...

  • Abstract:  I'll admit wholeheartedly that I was a bit doubtful when I was first handed Chinatown Wars. After playing through last year's spectacular, yet remarkably darker and grittier Grand Theft Auto IV, I didn't quite know what to expect from Rockstar Leeds' l...

  • Abstract:  I assume that most gamers don't expect much from a portable Grand Theft Auto game. I don't either, but not necessarily in a negative way. I don't expect occasional bouts of morality (or post-game discussions about it) from the characters. I don't expec...

  • Abstract:  James Wright9.1 Finally, an adults only game on the Nintendo DS or DSi. That’s right, Rockstar have finally brought the latest Grand Theft Auto game franchise to this popular console in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars that transforms gamers into Huan...

  • Trademark GTA gameplay and humour, solid controls, huge city to explore
  • Sub-par script, difficulty spikes, changing between the two DS screens on the fly can be disorienting
  • A fantastic addition to Rockstar’s legacy, Chinatown Wars stands solidly on its own two feet as not only the series’ first foray onto the Nintendo DS, but a damn good game, to boot. ...

  • Abstract:  Chinatown Wars marks the first time the Grand Theft Auto series has graced the DS hand-held, finally incorporating touch play and a dual-screen interface. The anticipated result is a resounding success and should prove as popular as those health-boost...

  • Doesn't feel like a compromise compared to other GTA games , Improves upon previous games with new features , The massive Liberty City from GTAIV is instantly recognisable , Intuitive controls make great use of the touchscreen , Lengthy story, loads o...
  • Multiplayer supports only two people , Camera doesn't always afford you a clear view of action
  • This isn't just a DS version of GTA, it's a fantastic game that advances the series by introducing a number of great new features....

  • Abstract:  NameGranted, we're a little GTA'ed-out here in the PCW bunkers at the moment, but that didn't stop us from reviewing the DS version of the game. It might look and feel a bit like a throwback to the first two games in the franchise, but GTA Chinatown perfo...
