GTA: Chinatown Wars is amazing!!!!

My god!!! I thought i was all GTA'd out personally, but this Chinatown Wars is the best GTA ever imo! And ive owned em all!

Great gameplay, good story, Awesome music, funny and an extremely high fun factor!!

Had to go out to of town for a few days with a long driver, my DS and GTA Chinatown Wars sure made the trip/pain clinic visit much better!

Anyone else extremely surprised at how good this game is?

I got the game when it first came out, it is great =)

My favorite thing to do is sell drugs(in the game!) I also love the comic bookish graphics, and love how the camera is a mix of classic and 3d GTA.

Also the stylus mini games have a wide variety and are mostly avoidable if they bother you.

AWESOME GAME!

yeah, I just got the games I wanted for when I get my DSi and I got GTA just because I was curious but I'm glad so many people love it! Now I can't wait to play it :D

Agreed

I know, isn't it great? It's pure GTA in the palm of the hand. It's well developed, dramatic but yet funny at times story lines,& fun mini games. If they can do all that on a DS, just imagine what they can do on the Wii & with the Wii remote.

ok, whats the most molotov you've assembled in ctw? 13 for mered_sovereign

Yup, best game on DS IMO right now. Have you played Suikoden Tierkreis? It's a great game too.

I really really want to like it. I had a bad feeling about GTA 4 for an hour or so, but that subsided quickly. The game is just boring to me. The overall interface just feels drab and more cheap. I will give it more tries after a while so hopefully the same thing happens to me like with GTA 4. Loathing it, then loving it. I just don't see that happening with the similar environments and awkward fighting. I'm glad everyone loves it, I hope the same love will happen to me with time!

i understand you i bought it.and i never really got to love gt4 but i gave this a bit more of time.By the time i was in 30%(this game is long) i was enjoying it quite a lot.And crazy as it sounds, the gunfights are more practical and dynamic here than the larger consoles to me.

GTA ChinaTown was SUPERB !! the details, the missions, the stylus usage, everything was perfect !! i really loved to play this game

I put it just above GTA IV just because of the ridiculous drug trading you can do in the game. I never expected to see that much on a nintendo console.

This sounds so great. I can't wait to start playing it!

How many hours of play is it? And are there side missions after you finish the main story?

I had high hopes for this game when it's release date drew nigh, and was overjoyed with all the praise it received! But from what I saw it looked kinda flat. I was afraid this was gonna be one of those "I dunno get what all the hype is about" type of games.

But once I popped this sucker in I couldn't put the system down! Rockstar couldn't have done a better job in making an original GTA title exclusively for the DS. All the innovation works so well it almost reminded me of San Andreas's amazing array of things to do. One of the best game's on the handheld market to date!

After spending some more time with the game I really like it now. (I knew it would happen!)

Ok, at first I thought this game looked really stupid and there was no way I was gonna get it. But, my friend had it and I tried it and it was awesome! I couldn't believe how great it was. It deserved all the good/great reviews it got. I could very possibly get it now. I have played all the GTAs and own them all and my favorite was GTA IV on 360. So would all you GTA vets like me reccomend this game for sure?

I haven't tried it yet but want to get it looks great and every review I see rates this game high.

great i cant wait to play gta chinatown wars

best GTA game ive played since GTA3. it doesent take itself anywhere near as seriously as some other GTAs which is fantastic. the main character is a **** his bosses are psychos and/or idiots and the story is funny and not too intrusive. its also a great protable game...the missions are short and the game is suitable for a quick play as well as long sessions. the GPS is also an absolute godsend. on a technical level it is also an astonishing achievement. how they got it running on the DS i just dont know. but it probably involved masses of assembly and some major additions to the "tips and tricks for DS development" book. kudos to R*. i just hope they see a good return on it. i whole heartedly recommend it to every person who owns a DS and is 18 or over.

I completely love GTA: CW, I havnt been able to put it down since i got it. I could go on and on about how good the game is but I think I really shouldnt and let other people find out for themselves.

I've only put about 30 minutes into this game...so far it is great. I just haven't had enough time to really give it an honest review. Hopefully I can get some more time soon!

so what shacknews say, maths and statistics, etc can be wrong sometimes.

it's not how well it sells, it's how well the game is made.(i.e. silent bomber PS1)

Agreed.

It is the first GTA i've ever played. I LOVE IT. my friends are close-minded graphics whores that think it's bad just cus its on DS.
