Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (DS) Reviews

2 D. I was not impressed at this news originally but it turns out the game is all the better for it! There's a full fledged story inside the cartridge, with deep and complex side games, with some fantastic dialogue (all be it written not spoken - a disadvantage of the DS' power) The new features such as running police off the road complement the ...  Read the complete review

I've played the PS2 versions of this game and I think I may have even attempted the Gameboy Advance version. I always maintained that "shoot out" games weren't for me - until I spontaneously bought this! I like my platform games or "Sim" type games but was getting a bit bored and there wasn't much out so having heard a friend ...  Read the complete review

Despite a release on the Gameboy Advance a couple of years ago, the Grand Theft Auto franchise never really took off on Nintendo's handhelds, despite the games being decent attempts to bring the series over to them. To rectify this Rockstar decided to release a new version designed specifically for the Nintendo DS and it's massive fan ...  Read the complete review

I really enjoyed this game, I know it hasn't done as well as Rockstar had forecast, which I think is mainly due to the fact that this is the first 18 rated game for the DS and the general market for the DS is children and casual gamers. I think this was the make or brake as to whether adult targeted games would be a a good market to go down on the ...  Read the complete review

Grand theft auto is a really excellent game for the D.S. I have been a big fan of the Rockstar franchise and this game was a big hit. In this game you play as a character called lee Haung. Lee Haungs' father was killed he made a promise to take revenge on the assassin. This game is like a copy of Grand theft auto IV on the larger consoles (ps3 ...  Read the complete review

At the moment I am into short quick reviews that basically put say what I think about the game and roughly talk about the game. This will also be a quick short review. Grand theft auto chinatown wars is not the first GTA game I have played. I have been a big fan of franchise for a very long time and have enjoyed watching them grow and ...  Read the complete review

Simply put, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is one of the most finely crafted games on the DS, full stop. The world is enormous, graphics are stunning, and the gameplay is excellent. It plays more or less like the very first GTA, only with an improved 3D world, which makes the game much more visually appealing. The missions in the game ...  Read the complete review

This game is a brilliant GTA port onto DS. The whole game is rendered in 3D and the gameplay is as good as ever, even if a tad violent. This is probably the first real 18+ game for the DS and can be played over wifi connections and with some multi cartridge play as well. You start off with the story of Huang Lee delivering a sword to ...  Read the complete review

I think Grand Theft Auto is about the first adult game for DS, as all the rest have been child games. This game is compatible with multi-card play and also Wifi and rated '18' and for a good reason as well. The game starts with a few story boards, which I just flicked through. It then goes on to a few people talking, ...  Read the complete review

Am only a part owner (its the wifes!!) of a DS and kids have there own so am only able to play this at work or in bed as it reallly deserves its eighteen rating just for the drug dealing alone!!. I must be one of the only gamers who does not have any previous experience of the GTA franchise but as a DS addict thought i would give this a ...  Read the complete review

no it'll never happen, nope.. wait what!? yes it did. people said Nintendo would never allow GTA and its 'violent' hype onto their 'family' consoles but it arrive and its nothing short of complete genius, the Nintendo DS brings GTA another step forward with its intuititive gameplay, superb controls and extremely fun altogether. If you like any of ...  Read the complete review

I've liked the GTA games for a long time, but I've never been very good at playing them - this may sound odd, but they're surprisingly fun to watch! However, I got a DS last year and it seemed like I had finally found a video game console I was good at for all types of games, so when I heard about a new GTA for DS, I was keen to try ...  Read the complete review

GTA comes to the DS. I wasn't sure what to expect when playing this because I thought the game would need a bigger screen, I was wrong. Firstly the camera seems to be further back than in the previous games, and the graphics are cell shaded. I am guessing this is down to trying to make it look better on the DS. Getting your way around the city ...  Read the complete review

Grand Theft Auto have done it again and to me they keep providing games with excellent game play and awsome reality. I love the GTA series and have played since the early days but to now release on the DS is a master stroke. No more brain training or mahjong for me as I am Stealing cars and beating pimps. The game is obviously not for the kids but ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I never expected too much from this game to start with. To me, the GTA world was very 3d, very alive, and I didn't believe the DS could deliver this. And often with DS versions, the games are just too darn short. Boy was I wrong. GTA:Chinatown Wars is THE saviour for us adults in a kiddy world Nintendo have keenly chosen to ...  Read the complete review

(A quick note before we start, I have not finished this game fully, so my review is based on experience so far, if things change I will change the review but please dont buy the game then shout at me if you find something I haven't!) And so here we are, the 13th game in the grand theft auto series heads to a handheld console, but can it ...  Read the complete review
