  • Classic GTA formula, drug trading mini-game is surprisingly addictive
  • Not enough new content, touch-based mini-games are slightly awkward with the analog nub
  • I lost my DS a month or so ago. It was during the time I was reviewing Scribblenauts. I think I may have put it down somewhere and my brain, lulled into a dreamlike state by Scribblenauts’ quirky and addictive gameplay, simply forgot to remember whe...

  • Abstract:  Feeling less like a GTA title in its own right, and much more like a port of a DS title to the PSP (has the world gone topsy turvy!?) Chinatown Wars is still a must have for owners of either handheld system. We reviewed the DS version when it came out ...

  • The game oozes style and has thick lashings of dark humour. Fantastic lighting and detail on the bright PSP screen
  • Some minigames lose their appeal without the stylus. Short but frequent loading times off the disc.

  • Lengthly campaign, Plenty to do around liberty city,Dealing drugs is AWESOME!, Sharp presentation throughout the game.
  • Mini games are boring and not very immersive, Lack of animation within the cut scenes as well as voice acting.

  • A great mixture of some of the best elements of the old top-down GTA games and the modern instalments. Bar some combat control issues, Grand Theft Auto: China Town Wars has perfectly translated to the PSP and is a must-have game. 9.5/10Print this pageU...

  • Abstract:  Daily Mail hysteria alert! Those scamps at Rockstar have turned that nice, gentle brain-training gadget endorsed by Judi Dench and Jean Luc Picard into a device for drug dealing and causing wholesale mayhem – and in doing so have created one of the bes...

  • Lange und geniale Story, Missionsdesign innovativ und kein Abklatsch, Spieltiefe und unglaublich viele Möglichkeiten
  • Autosave friert den Bildschirm ein, Keine Installation möglich (Ladezeiten), Gangmitglieder bleiben gerne an Hindernissen hängen
  • Willkommen in Liberty City. Sie sind Huang Lee ... so beginnt das Spiel, und Sie werden nicht eine halbe Stunde brauchen, um von dem fantastischen Gameplay aufgesogen zu werden. Genauer gesagt, „GTA: Chinatown Wars“ wird Sie fesseln, immer wieder überr...
