Games » GTA Chinatown Wars Review

Screenshot1
The Grand Theft Auto series has been around for ages and it seems with each new platform a new game is sure to follow. Chinatown Wars was originally released for the Nintendo DS and has been ported over for mass consumption on the iPhone and iPod Touch. But this game isn't just another poorly transitioned copy.

The iPhone version is customized to fit perfectly with the touch interface. The app features the signature lifestyle of depravity one would come to expect from a GTA game. There is plenty of foul language and highly mature themes which makes this game extremely inappropriate for younger children.

The controls of the game handle much like the various clones of the genre that can be found in the appstore. There are 3 buttons that change based on your context in the game. The game features a surprising amount of detail with subtle humor and plenty of minigames and jumps to explore.

The game itself lasts for quite a while and even after it is over, it is still entertaining to drive around and explore the side missions. The price it is currently listed for makes me a little hesitant to recommend it but for the content you are getting, it can most surely be justified. Check it out.

Review by Harpeer

Wow come on, you wrote this review in, like, 5 minutes? That\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s not what I expected from AppVee. Really, this is GTA, and you only talk about controls, wow...

Anyways, this game is a big recommendation. It features a big city where you can do what you want. It\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s presented as a 2.5D game, and it looks awesome. Thanks to the bird-eye view, it takes you back to those good ol\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' GTA\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s.

And really, 10 dollar is much? It looks like you haven\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t even played the game, and you didn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t compare it to the other versions. Everyone in the world knows (even the description states it) that this is a port of the PSP version. Do you know how much the PSP version costs? 40 bucks. Did you know this iPhone version is exactly the same (looking at content) as the PSP version? And oh, this version only costs 10 dollar...

Oh well, such a bad review, last time I checked AppVee.

I don't agree with your review, because in my opinion it's the best game released for iPhone ever. We have a very big city to explore, enjoyable missions, great music (Deadmau5 rlz!) and many hidden features. This game is surely worth this price.
