Advantages: New features, also faithful to earlier GTA games and large detailed map

Disadvantages: None

I have been a keen player of the GTA games on the PS II, particularly impressed by the 3-D graphics, missions, features and street races amongst other things. At first I was a bit apprehensive of the 2D overhead format on the DS and that the game would be a re-hash of the PSII games. I am glad to say that I was completely wrong! Not only does GTA Chinatown wars take features from the previous games (e.g. street races, unique jumps) it adds on other neat features such as an online "e-mail" system and also a GPS map so you no longer have to open up a large A3 map to try and find your destination. From the day I bought this game on its release, I have usually found an hour or so every couple of days and still find new areas to explore and features to complete. Considering the console, the map is surpisingly very large.

Overall, it is refreshing to see that Nintendo have brought out a game which is more appealing to the adult gamer, compared to the other types of DS games that are more intended for the under 10s. I am looking forward to the next GTA release on the DS.

Summary: One of the best adult games for the DS
