## Description

Product description Following his father’s murder, Huang Lee has a simple mission: deliver an ancient sword to his Uncle Kenny to ensure his family retains control of the Triad gangs of Liberty City. Huang is a spoiled rich kid who expects everything to run smoothly, but his trip does not go exactly as planned. After being robbed and left to die, he will search for honor, riches and revenge in the most dangerous and morally bankrupt city in the world. desertcart.com Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is the highly anticipated first game in the GTA franchise designed for play on the Nintendo DS. But although it comes in a small package, this is a full-fledged game that stands on its own. With an all-new, deep story that approaches the familiar sights and sounds of the infamous Liberty City from a different perspective, an innovative control system and multiplayer options, Chinatown Wars captures the tone and flavors of the long-running GTA series in unique ways that both longtime players and those coming to it for the first time will find hard to put down. .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -15px; } table.callout { font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1. 3em; } td.vgoverview { height: 125px; background: #9DC4D8 url(https://images-na.ssl-images-desertcart.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bg.png) repeat-x; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 250px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; } Grand Theft Auto:Chinatown Wars Players: Offline: 1; Online: 2 Gameplay Modes: Single player; competitive & coop multiplayer via Nintendo Wi-Fi connection.

The Story: Left for Dead in the Worst Place in America Following his father’s murder, Huang Lee is given what seems a simple mission: to deliver an ancient sword to his Uncle Kenny to ensure his family retains control of the Triad gangs of Liberty City. Huang is a spoiled rich kid who expects everything to run smoothly, but his trip does not go exactly as planned. Only minutes after arriving at the Liberty City airport at the far end of town, he is robbed and left to die. Only through quickly thinking is he able to survive and make his way back to his neighborhood, but the damage to he and his family has been done. Now his destiny is to search for honor, riches and revenge in the most dangerous and morally bankrupt city in the world. Gameplay The largest DS game to date, Chinatown Wars is set in the Grand Theft Auto IV-imagined version of Liberty City, and contains most of its boroughs and neighborhoods. In exploring and exploiting this vast area, players use the game's rotatable camera to take in a 3D, 360-degree view of their environment, providing an elevated and somewhat skewed third-person perspective, that switches to first-person with the appropriate player action. Assuming the role of Huang Lee your goal is to rise up in the ranks of the underworld to challenge the Triad of Chinatown gangs that have usurped your family's position and recover the stolen heirloom and your lost honor. In true GTA fashion this entails gameplay that embraces the seedy underbelly that Liberty City is famous for. Throughout the game's 70+ missions -- all of which can be replayed even after completion -- and its myriad of side quests, players earn cash by completing jobs ranging from petty street crime, all the way up to drug dealing and assassination. As in other GTA releases, rising competence at crime raises the amount of attention received by police, but unlike previous games here players can not simply outrun alerted authorities. With each additional star added to your 'wanted rating' players must disable or destroy more of the pursuing police units to keep them off your tail. In addition to mission play, the game also contains many opportunities, such as the safe cracking and car hot-wiring mini-games and the various items and weapons hidden throughout the game that demand skill with the DS' touchscreen and stylus for success. By whatever means, once players have attained a certain level of cash and street cred they will also be able to recruit members for their own gang who pledge their loyalty by allowing themselves to be tattooed with the mark of the player's choosing. Cars and Controls Cars and control schemes play a prominent role in Chinatown Wars. All cars feature GPS functionality based on available roadways. Directions are shown on the lower of the DS' two screens as part of the in-game PDA interface, but players may take vehicles off roads wherever possible, with the GPS automatically resetting when back on the pavement. While driving players also have access to five in-game radio stations and use of their weapons. Your PDA provides efficient management tools for your growing crime empire, including quick weapons switching, a running total of available cash, in-game e-mail and Internet access and nearly instant game saves any time. The control scheme in Chinatown Wars utilizes an easy to use and comfortable to play combination of steering via the D-pad, choice of action through the face buttons and/or stylus taps and manual and automatic weapon locks and unlocks via shoulder buttons. Key Game Features: The Largest DS Game Ever - Contemporary Liberty City is a massive world complete with pedestrians, weather and traffic patterns, five different radio stations and four different sprawling boroughs to explore.Endless Gameplay - Mature storyline with over 70+ story missions; plus dozens of side quests, collectibles, contextual mini-games and the all new mission replay feature.Street Economics - Addictive drug dealing side game with 6 different drug types, 80+ drug dealers and a supply / demand driven narcotics economy.Play with Friends - Nintendo Wi-Fi mode for head-to-head and co-op multiplayer mayhem.Bragging Rights - Chat, trade guns and commodities with your friends, and compete for glory via online tournaments and leaderboards on the Rockstar Games Social Club.PDA Interface - Use the touch screen as a PDA device to set GPS waypoints, change radio stations, communicate via e-mail with in-game characters and order weapons on the Internet.Online Bragging Rights and Multiplayer Care has been taken to ensure that players can share their Chinatown Wars experiences with friends and fellow players in different ways. First, players will have access to the Chinatown Wars as well as the greater Grand Theft Auto communities through the Rockstar Games Social Club.

Review: "Oh God, I need to change my pants"--Chan Jaoming - This game is awesome! I was skeptical how a complicated game like this would work on Nintendo DS. I was also worried, since I'm of the Atari generation and have never played Grand Theft Auto or many other popular highfalutin modern games, that I would be completely lost. Well, there is no problems getting lost as the game is self-explanatory and very smooth. It is also mission oriented which I really like. Mission-driven games like Sims Bustin' Out and The Urbz are my favorites. You visit or sometimes you are emailed by the rival bosses and the story begins with the game explaining what you need to do and guiding you along the way. That does not mean it is easy, it can be quite difficult to complete each mission but, if you choose the option to manually save, you can repeat the missions as many times as needed to pass. I'll admit it has sometimes taken me 7 or more tries to get through a mission. Be sure to save in the safe house closest to the next story. You are Huang Lee and arrive in Liberty City, a violent hellhole where drugs are plentiful, life is worth nil, and the drivers are the worst in the world--no fire hydrant, street lamp, or pedestrian is safe. You would think chastity would be a rare commodity in such a city; but, surprisingly, a lot of the pedestrians you run over will declare, "I'm still a virgin!" The reason for the visit is to deliver a sword to your uncle. Before you can accomplish the task, you are beaten, the sword is stolen and you are left to die in a car plunged into the water. Once you escape you are dropped smack dab in the middle of a gang war and battle between rival bosses to get control of Triad--the gang once lead by your father who was murdered. Avenging your father's death and recovering the sword is the ultimate goals but they may be hard to remember during all the missions and drug dealing you will be doing. The game play is guided by a GPS system which is excellent. It is easy to go anywhere because the navigation system maps out the exact route and, if you miss a turn, it will update the map automatically with a new route. You can walk or drive--either your own car, leader's cars, or any car you can steal by hot wiring or grabbing the driver and throwing him or her out. The maps include safe houses, auto repair shops, drug dealers, leader's headquarters and other important stops. One tip is to create "Favorite" tags on the armor icons (blue bullet-proof vests--builds up your bullet defense) and maybe health icons (green crosses) although you can replenish your health once you've saved inside a safe house. During missions that are not timed and especially those where you are not being chased ("Street of Rage" and "The Wages of Hsin" are good examples), take time out to find those spots and re-build your armor and health levels before continuing the mission. You can also take time out to fix up your car if it is smoking (i.e. "Driven to Destruction"). One aspect of the game I really like is the freedom you have. You are not forced to begin a new mission until you are ready. Take some time to walk around the city. Check dumpsters for weapons and other goodies (as well as some nasty stuff) or make a few Molotov cocktails. Earn money as a tattoo artist or cab driver. The Taxi Driver mission is tough because of the time limits but, if you can manage 15 successful fares in a row, all the cabs become bullet-proof which really helps in certain story missions like "Offshore Offload". During a barrage of emails from dealers, you might take time traveling to each one and buying and selling all sorts of drugs and realize that is where the real money is at. There are also side missions you'll encounter on the streets that could consist of such things as planting a bug on a car or taking a woman on a joy ride. You'll meet these characters again for updates. The game play is addicting and the story is intriguing and heavy with sometimes hilarious dialogue (especially Chan). Your character will witness all sorts of carnage including a rival boss cutting out an adversary's heart! Oh the humanity! As I'm sure other reviewers have noted, this game is rated mature with a capital M. Drugs, obscene language, racist remarks, bloody murders, sexual paraphernalia and situations--it's all here! It is fun to live vicariously in such a world through Lee Huang and it's incredible such a world can be packed in a little DS game cartridge. To anyone wanting to take their Nintendo DS on a hella ride, I recommend this game without hesitation!
Review: Wow... how should I rate this? - So I am really conflicted as to which way to take this review. I have been playing it off and on for about the past 3 weeks and there is something unsettling about the fun and the innovation of this game. For example, stealing a car isnt a quick matter of hopping in the driver's side and speeding away anymore. You now have to use the stylus to manipulate the ignition block or to start the car using a pass code (both of which have to be done in a time frame before an alarm sounds). There are also things like having to start the engine of a boat by winding the cord and pulling it out quickly similar to a lawn mower. Other touch screen innovations are abound, and that leads me to why I am conflicted... This innovation was made for the family. I feel that there a number of other games that could have used this innovation that didn't, and they were perfectly acceptable for bringing the family together. This game, which is a blatant sin against God (which is NOT a bad thing in this case) and is clearly not meant for certain audiences not only uses the technology, but excels at it. It is a SHAME that not all gamers will have the opportunity to see what a marvel Rockstar has made here. But... thats been my rant. On to the pros. My biggest compliment for this game is the fact that there is so much to do. Want to do missions? Go for it! Want to take a taxi for a spin and earn money by taking fares? Thats here, too. Want to go over to the boardwalk and drive go karts to pass time trials? Guess what... you can do that too. Want to earn a truck load of cash by buying and selling illegal substances? There is an entire mini game in the Chinatown Wars for that as well. All of these things contribute to earning the coveted "100% completion" that hard core gamers strive for, and this game will put them through their paces. My biggest con against this game is the humor and dialogue. I am all for dropping an F Bomb in context, but this game does it liberally. Also, crude humor that pertains to homosexuality, prostitution, and killing people permeates every aspect of this game. Some of it I got a snicker out of while most of it just seemed forced and immature. Don't get me wrong - I know what to expect when I buy a GTA title... its just that the dialogue in Chinatown Wars seems offensive for the sake of being offensive while not adding any humor, levity, or otherwise legitimate storytelling elements to the game. Overall, all the pros of this game far surpass the negatives. This game is a solid addition to a gamer's library as long as they are of age.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ whoo!!
*by K***N on March 30, 2009*

what can I say? This game is great. As I started playing it, I got more and more excited finding out all the different things you can do. I would have to say drug dealing is my favorite (ironic because I was a criminal justice major!) but it's just so much fun. The missions have been quite easy so far, but fun! I'm only 10% done with the game, so i'm sure they will get more challenging as I go. i was nervous about buying it, because i was sure they graphics would have to suck to fit a game like this for the ds. SO wrong! the graphics are great. The city is the best part. The people graphics are a little lacking, but it's really not bad. i love the story line mainly because i recently went to hong kong and know what they are talking about. other than that, this game is purely addicting and deserves 6 stars. If you are a GTA fan, this is a must have.
