Grand Theft Auto China Town Wars DS Review

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.

  • Mar. 16, 2009 Review: Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

    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' latest installation. While I'd greatly enjoyed the PSP's on-the-go GTA iterations in Liberty City and Vice City Stories, there was no denying that Rockstar's flagship series had found a safe niche as more so a solid third person shooter than the arcade-styled, tongue-in-cheek sandbox racers that had preceded it.
