Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is outstanding. The story is great, the game itself is a blast, running drugs is a welcome addition, the new cop takedowns are cool, and there's so much to do. Yes, the little loads can irk you, IGN wishes the cutscenes featured voice work, some mini-games are flat, and saving takes too long, but it's all forgivable when the game is this much fun.

Beginning today, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars are now available for GTA+ Members to play on compatible iOS and Android devices.
Sweet. I loved Liberty City Stories despite the city being empty. Those main story missions were tough but fun.
vgPWN: "Let's pour one out for these games that were awesome, but just didn't sell like gangbusters."
I remember when my friend introduced me to Shenmue II years ago. I went out and bought myself Shenmue for my Dreamcast and Shenmue II for my Xbox. Still got them to this day.
GameCrate: "We take a look at five games and franchises that would be perfect for garnering some potentially strong third-party support (which we're well aware isn't Nintendo's strong point)."
Why do people think putting an M-rated game on Nintendo console will signal an influx of more M-rated title? We've had many M-rated games on Nintendo consoles since the N64. If third parties don't feel that it's profitable to do so in the past 20 years, I doubt they'll change their mind in the next 20 years
i want cod battlefield and gta oh yeah nintendo will win console war easily with those big sellers with better graphics and fps than ps4
It's too late bruh the PS4 took over like 80% of 8th gen home console market share. It will sell like the N64 at best. Unless they are waiting for 9th gen or something which by then will be too late. We all know Nintendo doesn't care about 3rd party. The consoles they create are for their benefit and only their benefit. They do not go to other companies and ask what they may need/want in a console so they can grow and thrive. They are stubborn and do not improve their consoles. They do not live or die on 3rd party and thus are on a one man island.
Sadly to say, but when it comes to Nintendo home consoles, they are almost irrelevant to the average person. Yes the wii Nintendo's best selling console was relevant, but I honestly think it was just a fluke.
Unless Playstation stops getting lots Japanese games I like each gen, then I'll stick with them.
Nintendo needs to bring in more struggling developers in Japan who are still obsessed with Sony, who isn't selling well over there, which is exacerbating their struggles further. Might be able to sell more NXs if it becomes THE place for Japanese niche titles.
great
What did the DS version get again?
Wow, saving does NOT take 17 seconds. At least not on my PSP. 7 at the absolute longest. Though the PDA mini-loads do get annoying.
Also you don't hold the R button to lock on, which may be why he had so much trouble. You tap it and it automatically locks, d-pad manually switches targets, and the L button cycles through targets while locked on. I never played the DS version but I absolutely LOVE the minigames, even if they are just button presses and QTE-ish things.
I'll wait for the iPod version.
You'll get the improved graphics and extra content found in this version and the touch screen mini games that made this game so much fun.
Also, the load times in this game are horrible. WTF? Loading just to open my PDA? Loading, loading, loading, even on the PSP GO
Hmm... I never payed to much attention to the GTA: Chinatown games. It looks very cool indeed. But I doubt I will buy it. But, I will see if I can play this at my friends house :). Nice job Rockstar! Cheers to you! :D
