DESCRIPTION
Honor among thieves is a concept known in any culture, and no criminal organization can last without deep, unquestioning trust among its members. In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, players discover a betrayal of that trust: corruption that runs to the core of a Triad crime syndicate. Most of the action in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is viewed from an angled, top-down perspective on the city streets, more similar to the pre-GTA3 games in the series. Originally developed for the DS, the PSP version of Chinatown Wars features spruced-up graphics and an original soundtrack, and the former's stylus-based controls have been replaced by more traditional analog maneuvering. The driving sequences and mini-games remain however, once again representing iniquitous activities such as hotwiring cars, dealing drugs, and digging through debris for stashed goods. Fans will find the same open world, emergent adventure, violent action, pop-culture riffing, and dark humor that make the Grand Theft Auto series the most glorified and notorious of its time. What they won't find is a rehash of previous adventures with the likes of Tommy Vercetti or Niko Bellic. Forget it. It's Chinatown. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“The GTA franchise's latest installment on mobile devices is out - Chinatown Wars. Rockstar Games has gone back a bit and taken something out of the the early grand theft auto games on this one - it's top-down, two-dimensional view, which believe it or not actually works and handles quite well! At first I thought it might not but then I gave it a go and I actually like it more than Liberty City! Which just points out to me that Rockstar didn't just make this as a compromise to other GTA games.
Another good thing about this game is it's mini games and lengthy story mode. Of course I haven't yet tried out the DS version yet, but the mini games are pretty good, things such as hot wiring a car, filling up a molotov with oil and things like that really add more umph into the game.
It also has more variety of things to do than in the previous games such as drug dealing, buying safe houses and of course you can still go around blowing up stuff and messing with the police.
The only bad thing about this game - that I can think of - is the fact that it's multiplayer mode only supports upto two players which isn't GTAish if you ask me but you can't have everything....
Hope you enjoyed my review, this is gamerdude007 sayin - peace out and Happy gaming!

“Back-to-basics game, with a lot of fun -if you can handle the top-down view. The storyline is amazing, and will keep you interested as you go further. Still, no voice for the cutscenes --oh, the shame of it. There are loads of side missions and techniques we wanted to see in the GTA IV. Let's hope R* will bring them in the next title. If you have a PSP, go buy this one. It's really worth it.”
