Default [Kot]GTA Chinatown Wars Review
Strangley enough, I liked this game better than GTA4. Maybe it was because I could drug deal and make money...

Quote:


Rockstar Games brings murder, mayhem, and a miniature Liberty City to the Nintendo DS with Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the developer's first outing on the mega-hit dual-screen portable platform.

In Chinatown Wars, Liberty City welcomes Huang Lee, the spoiled rotten son of a Chinese Triad crime syndicate leader. Lee journeys to the city to meet with his uncle, Wu "Kenny" Lee, one of the many men eying the now vacant spot left by the death of Huang's father. Our new immigrant friend is on a mission, deliver the "sacred" sword, the Yu Jian, to Uncle Kenny.

Things don't go quite according to plan, as things tend to do among the lowlife, backstabbing criminal scum of Liberty City. The chaos of the Grand Theft Auto series is yet another opportunity for a lowly drug-running, moral-free thug to gain notoriety in the criminal underworld.

Chinatown Wars is also an opportunity to reach a new audience, one who might only own a Nintendo DS. But does the game also present a successful Grand Theft Auto experience for fans of mindful and mindless violence? It certainly does.

Indeed, this game is infinitely way more fun and engaging than GTA4 (IMO )!

My initial reaction is "it's ok". I think it's going to take me awhile to get used to the controls but it has potential.
