Holy cow i was having doubts about this game looking at how dated GTA 1 and GTA 2 are compared to now and how crap GTA for gameboy advance was but after I saw the review and got this game it's the best top down view GTA around I would dare to say it compares to the recent GTA's it's that good and fun.

never underestimate a game based on first reactions to graphics and the graphics in isometric are awesome to behold and it's great how they have all the landmarks of GTA IV like coney iland and so on.

I hope they continue doing this series on DS it's awesome and deserving of the 9.5 score here.

I think the game is quite overrated. It takes advantage of the DS' features in a unique way but overall its pretty dumbed down and doesnt feel like a GTA game.

Yeah but thats not saying much, considering GTA wasnt a "superb" franchise until it went 3D.

graphically it's not as good as the 3d versions but I found this gameplay wise as good and even more fun.

Chinatown wars is so awesome, hands down the best GTA game i own. The new gameplay elements are awesome, the story is good, the music is good, the characters are funny and the fun factor is extremely high.

Some might argue that San Andreas or Vice City is the best, but Chinatown Wars has more content and is arguably cooler than even Vice City was.

Cool, I'll be getting it in a few days and can't wait (just have to wait for it to be delivered). And also the part about how you said you had your doubts about it, I think the 94.68% average on GR or 9.5 here and IGN should have been a bit of a give a way that it wouldn't suck. But anyway good news all round.

the reviews was the reason I got it before I was scared because GTA1 and 2 are outdated and the gta for GBA was horrible I was afraid this was gonna be the same, boy was I wrong.

i don't know much about that gta: ctw, but it does look interesting. i hope they will release it as a dlc for the pc, xbox 360 and ps3. it's a good opportunity for rockstar games to make money if they do it. btw, i wonder if the storyline is related to gta 4, or is it a different storyline altogether.

Chinatown Wars is easily one of the best GTA games, imo. Never judge a game by its graphics, because even though I love the graphics, this game is better than many 3D titles I've played.

Don't have a DS yet, and probably not going to get one until closer to the end of the gen (skipping next gen to explore everything that this gen has to offer). When I do get a DS, this will be one of the first games that I get with it, maybe after NSMB and one or both the Zelda games, but still a very early buy after I get a DS. It just looks like so much fun. One of my biggest problems that I had with GTA4 was the lack of mission variety and things to do outside of the main story, which is what I loved about the older game, and why SA was my favorite. But this one seems like it will have all of the things that made me love the series in the first place.

This game simply is incredible . It is what GTA4 SHOULD have been . It has everything a good GTA game needs, is VERY adult (eat that, DS is for kids) , has incredible fun side missions (dealing drugs never gets old) , and I got a better feeling with the main characters than in GTA4 . The graphics are really good for a DS game, the sound is incredible, and there's just so much to do with your cash, campared to the millions I got in GTA4 and couldn't spend on anything !!!

I think the graphics are quite nice. It's a pretty fun game although I don't really like the storyline/writing. All the characters suck so far.

It really is an amazing game. The simple fact that they got the same feel and scope of the console GTAs (and improved upon certain areas even) alone is nothing short of incredible.

Looks like original GTA which i'd say is the real GTA, altho GTA 3 captured that quite well without the birds eye view. I want this game, if only i hadnt lent my DS to someone.

Have you played both? I love both but CW has things that wasn't in SA like selling narcotics, making molotovs, jumpstarting patients hearts while taking them to the hospital in the ambulance missions.

I don't find selling narcotics appealing and as for the rest, they sound okay. I haven't play it but I know I'm not going to like it. I've seen videos of it and it doesn't look interesting to me. I just purchased GTA SA for the PC and I'm having a blast with it. MODS = a WIN WIN for GTA San Andreas.

You can also replay missons and there are great multiplayer games like racing circuit cups. Looking at the game through screenshots and playing it in person makes a world of difference.

San Andreas also has mutiplayer. I don't think it would make a difference to me. The graphics are a big turn off to me.

Do not judge the game's graphics on screenshots/videos you see on the internet. It looks so much better when it's right there in front of you on your DS. I recommend this game to anyone looking for an addicting handheld game.But I will say buying/selling drugs isn't fun, unless it's a bust. It's just a way to make easy money.

It is selling good and will have better legs than most GTA games.
