the Grand Theft auto series is on a rampage, first it takes the consoles with GTA4 and now the DS with GTA: china town wars, Do you think it deserves the highest rating Gamespot has ever given to a DS game

Negative comment: Online (From what I've heard).

Otherwise, the game definately deserves it.

Honestly, I can name a ton of other DS games that I'd rather get over GTA Chinatown Wars.

well... i think this game got a little overrated, i think the fair score is 85 or 90.... 95 is just feels unfair, i think the game that deserves that score is Zelda, TWEWY, or FF IV

The game is getting these high scores because not only is it not a compromise for the GTA series, but it moves it forward too with new mechanics and ideas. They managed to fit almost every element of a great GTA game into a tiny little cart, and on top of that the game looks amazing and runs smoothly, with realistic physics no-less. CW is a stellar achievement that deserves attention and praise. Just forget about numbers...do you really think there is such a big difference between a 9 and a 9.5? Besides, the games you listed were most likely rated by different editors, all of which have slightly different views.

Runs smoothly?? With decently fast cars ( I.E.: anything thats not a van or a klunker) the game starts slowing in frames all teh time ... its not for long periods but if your moving a lot then it just happens so frequently it bugs me, and somehow they have even managed to port in the pop in issue to where when im in a really fast car, portions of the map with just be gray squares and fail to load in and i run into something that isn't yet visible.

The game deserves the score that it got. It's one of the best games on the DS.

i think im going to buy it without playing it first. what's odd is that they are selling on ebay for less than $20, so i think i'll pick one up it looks cool. I never got into GTA4 that much but i loved San Andreas, and I need a good handheld free roaming lengthy gameplay game.

I believe the game is overrated, as all the whole GTA series are overrated... for some reason people thinks so higly about dealing drugs and shooting random people that these games are... well they are well know and praised. (and i know there are the missions, but i also know that the best part for most of players are those two stuff that you can do).

However, i'm not complaining, even if it is overrated, i'm glad that at least it will bring a great number of players to the DS, meaning that this system will be as popular as ever and ninty will surely relies more on this system. (so more quality games for more time.... maybe?)

I agree some what about the GTA series. For some reason, and I'm not sure why, the game play seems... stale. But when you think about all the game has to offer, it's anything but. Let's look at it. It's a shooter, RPG, racing game (With Cops chasing you, sometimes) Also throw in motorcycles, boats, airplanes, helicopters, ect... And its huge open world enviroment, and you got a great game. Right? Then why do I see so many copies of GTAIV on the previously owned racks. I kept mine, but sometimes I have to force myself to play it.

I had huge doubts about this game and have been OWNED!!! I love it. I don't know how Rockstar did it on the DS. The graphics are great and the gameplay is amazing. I'm actually having more fun with this GTA than GTA 4 on my PS3. Great game and definetely deserves the 9.5.

I think it deserves it for sure. Just got the game 2 days ago, and I'm truly loving it. Only downside with the game is the number of police cars on the road (too many cop cars, Ex: one cop car every 2-3 blocks). And another thing I don't like is the unrealistic police behaviors. I always see cop cars getting rammed etc, and they never chase the other sprites that rammed them etc... But besides that, it's a top notch game.

I think it deserves it, at first i was disappointed by the lack of multi player but then i remembered how boring GTAIV multi player was.I thinkit was better that they focused more on the single player.

I don't think the series is overrated. It's up to you to have fun with it. The game throws you into a fully interactive world full of crazy things to do. If you can't have fun with that kind of a set-up, then either you have no imagination, or the sandbox genre is just not for you.

I think it deserves the score that it got. It's not perfect, but it definately represents the GTA franchise much better than I thought it would. Really fun, and there's not much like it on the DS, so overall a great addition the DS library.

Just picked it up today and am loving it. It reminds me of the first time I played GTA3 on PS2 but this game has more style.
