5.0 out of 5 stars Definately worth buying 30 Dec 2009
Platform for Display:Sony PSP
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
I asked for this game for christmas, only knowing that it had been released on the Nintendo DS, and had a top-down view on that. I heard it was out for the PSP (That was the only reason I asked for it), thinking that it'd be like Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories or Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, which was a bit naive of me.. But that's not what we're here to talk about so I'll continue.

Upon turning on my PSP, and loading up the game.. It has the same loading style as other Grand Theft Auto games, and then it introduces with a top-down view. With that I was disappointed, I'd expected more from Rockstar, instead of an almost identical port of the DS game. But, after playing for about half an hour or so I was fine with the top-down view (I had tried to change the camera, don't worry!). After a while it just sticks, and you feel fine with the top-down view, and it doesn't affect the gamestyle play, other than the fact that it's harder to dodge traffic, though it doesn't happen enough to cause mass anger.

The mini-games are welcome in my eyes, and very enjoyable, as there are a few of them. The graphics are awesome, and it makes the most of the PSP's capabilities - The graphics wouldn't look out of place on a Playstation Two!

I don't want to cause controversy, but the other reviewers who have said that the top-down view is rubbish, buy another PSP game etc.... Sound like they haven't played the original Grand Theft Auto games that gave Rockstar a successful base on which to change the camera view with.

This game is near perfect, and it is easy to get addicted to it - Not just the missions, which aren't too challenging, but there are safehouses to buy, drugs to deal, cameras to destroy and little side missions like in all Grand Theft Autos since number three.

Definately worth buying!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rockstar does it again! 8 May 2010
Platform for Display:Sony PSP
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
First off, I have played other GTA games for the PSP and whilst they do have 'proper' 3D (Chinatown is still 3D, but from an overhead view)and real music, I found this to be the more engrossing title.

In fact the lack of spoken cutscenes and proper music meant that I could play this at work withound having the sound up too loud and still follow the storyline.

When I first loaded up I thought that the overhead view would be an annoyance but it didnt seem to be unless you were travelling under a train track and bumped into the unseen police car who would then give chase...

Anyhoo, loads to do. I spent a lot of the time looking for hidden street races and making a lot of cash with drug deals which had nothing to do with the story.

Get it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Its ok like going back to the ps1 times. 15 Jun 2011
Platform for Display:Sony PSP
Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
ok well i have played all of the GTA'S on multi platforms through the years and i brought this one grand theft auto china town wars and i dont hate it but its like going back to the 90s games on ps1 with the over head look instead of the camera behind your character also i found that some of the features on the game dont really work well enough on the psp. for instance when you do tattooing on the psp i found it very hard to do by using the joystick i mean it clearly only works if you have the nintendo ds touch screen with the pen.

OK SO I WOULD RATE THIS GAME OVERALL 5/10
GAME PLAY: CAN BE FUN BUT SOME FEATURES CLEARLY DONT WORK FOR THE PSP.
SOUND: WELL YOU CHARACTER DOES NOT SPEAK OR ANY OTHER CHARACTER IN THE GAME WHICH IS LIKE THE ORIGINAL GAMES. BUT THE RADIO STATIONS ARE STILL GOOD!
GRAPHICS: 4/10 NOT VERY CLEAR NOR UP TO DATE WITH CURRENT GRAPHICS GTA LIBERTY CITY STORIES & VICE CITY STORIES ON PSP HAD GOOD GRAPHICS BUT THIS ONE NOT SO GREAT FEELS LIKE THE OLD GRAPHICS FROM THE PS1 90S ERA.

I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS GAME BUT BE WARNED ITS NOT AS GOOD AS PREVIOUS GTA'S ON THE PSP BUT IT HAS IT'S FUN MOMENTS!!!
