Rockstar Pulls It Off, Yet Again ( DS )
Introduction Since the release of GTA III, it would be hard to believe that rockstar could go back to the classic view that was presented in 1 and 2. Well, they have done it and it is extremely successful. Going back to the old view is not taking away anything ...

A legendary pocket title with ambition unprecedented on the DS. ( DS )
Less than a year after Grand Theft Auto IV's monumental release, fans of Liberty City have yet another entry in the series to sink their teeth into; and while it isn't as large or beautiful as other games in the series, Chinatown Wars is a legendary portable title that has ...

Chinatown Wars does things differently and looks great doing it. ( DS )
Many franchises have attempted to toss themselves into the portable ring only to be spat back out, mangled and scarred with only subtle hints pointing toward the games that they were supposed to have been. Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto series was never one of these. The previous two entires—while not ...

This is my essay on the Nintendo DS and Chinatown Wars. ( DS )
So this is my essay. It’s titled “Why I hate the Nintendo DS sometimes”, by me. The thesis to this essay will be “games like Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars makes me hate the Nintendo DS sometimes.” Hopefully handing in this instead of an essay on Macbeth’s greed will still ...

When it comes to GTA games ( DS )
I have to admit I am a virgin when it comes to GTA franchise. I’ve only played the other games for a few minutes and lost interest immediately. When I saw this game I decided to take a chance and try it out and I’m very glad I took that ...

REVIEW - Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (NDS) ( DS )
When Rockstar Games first announced Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the DS, everybody was looking forward to it, even with the lack of details at the time. Almost every week, more screens, trailers and details were being released which did their job – keeping people interested. But despite all ...

Ive played the series right from the start on the pc, i have to say even the graphical visuals are amazing, different to all before.  This has been probably the best version i ve played yet, and on a ds thats some achievement. I really hope they make a wii ...

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for NDS ( DS )
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is one if not the best game on the DS. There is so much to see and do in Chinatown Wars that it's hard to believe this is a DS game, I spend over an hour just drug dealing. One of the things I had ...

Just Because It's Asian Doesn't Mean It's Small ( DS )
Originally posted on my blog here, but I thought I'd contribute to the reviews page. Pictures are from the wiki The Grand Theft Auto series was not made for kids. The Nintendo DS’s main audience is kids. So when GTA Chinatown Wars was announced last year, I wasn’t expecting too ...

A GTA so close to perfection, i's scary! ( DS )
GTA Chinatown Wars is everything GTAIV wasnt.Whilst there is little doubt about the quality of GTAIV in terms of graphics, control, and story, the game seemed to lack the sidequests and extras that made San Andreas such a hit.Well, Rockstar have sorted all of that out with some truly fantastic ...

Maybe I'm not the right guy for this . . . ( DS )
. . . but I feel like I'm missing out on part of the Chinatown Wars experience.  The game has been great so far.  I have really enjoyed the mechanics, art style, and mission types.   What I have been missing is the story.  I'm confident it is there.  After ...

The True GTA Experience Comes To The DS ( DS )
How do you take the massive, open world that is Liberty City of Grand Theft Auto IV fame and translate it onto the DS, and more importantly make it NOT feel stripped down? You make Grand Theft Auto: China Town Wars, a game that plays to the strengths of the ...

Great use of the DS, good fun and a bad story ( DS )
What I really liked about the game was that for the first time in a long while it felt like a full blown original game on the system. Most other games either boil down to simple puzzle mini-game stuff or cheap rip-off of titles from the big consoles. GTA:CW on ...

What's Old is New Again ( DS )
GTA CW is a game for the Nintendo DS. It retails for $39.99 and is rated M for Mature.  This is the first GTA game on the DS, and Rockstar wisely chose not to follow the “Stories” formula used for their PSP outings. Instead, Chinatown Wars harkens back to the ...

Chinatown Wars, The Perfect Game? ( DS )
The Grand Theft Auto series hasn't always translated well to the handheld systems. With the lackluster GTA and GTA 2 on the Game Boy Color, and the lukewarm Liberty and Vice City Stories for the PSP, GTA games on handhelds never really hit that epic level that they did on ...

Brutal DS action in Liberty City ( DS )
After the huge success of GTA 4, the guys at Rockstar wanted to make a GTA on the DS, and it is one of the greatest if not the best, DS game. The game starts with your character Huang flying by plane to the U.S. He gets off the plane ...
