The editors didn't like
Atrocious dialog
Lackluster lockon aiming
Writing is a cut below what wed expect from GTA.

Abstract: wheel_of_fortuneI'll admit I was one of the guys who kind of scoffed at the idea of a Grand Theft Auto on the DS. I've grown so used to the idea of a GTA game being set in the bigger 3D worlds established from part 3 and onwards, that the idea of going...

Abstract: When GTA: Chinatown is loaded into my DS, I get excited when I turn it on. I get this little rush of excitement that starts pumping through me and I feel like a kid again. We won't go into just what that says about my childhood, but it boils down to a ...

Abstract: Among the Brain Training and Imagine games, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars just doesn't seem to fit. Titles about drug-dealing Chinese murderers don't seem quite at home on a system endorsed by that sparrow-faced woman from Friends, but it's not lik...
