The decision to make a simple game, looking almost identical to the first GTA games is the best thing Rockstar could have done with GTA Chinatown wars. There was no way that the DS could do anything but that and the fact that some people are complaining is plain stupidity, what do they expect.
The use of the touch screen sets it apart from the other GTA games and it’s fun to play unlike GTA 4, which I found tedious with little or no humour. I especially like the way you can get rid of police cars by smashing them into buildings, much more fun than trying to out distance them yawn.
It’s a fun game and not a crime sim like the other GTA titles so for all the would be gangsters give it a miss but if you like a game that is fun then buy it.
I love to game but there comes a time when you just can’t find that last object and the only way to solve it is to go on-line and read through countless walkthroughs, not any more as Google have teamed up with IGN to provide a Google map of Liberty City. I’ve no doubt the games purist will be aghast at Google supplying a comprehensive map of Liberty City but for us non purist who play for fun it is a godsend. For not only can you zoom in and out as in a real map but all the markers are there for you to chose which part of the game you need to find to complete it.
If you click on the marker, a pop up box will give you more information about who or what it is. Google have also made it interactive so that you can share a discovery with your fellow gamers, thus expanding an already comprehensive site. This has already proved a bit hit with fellow gamers as the map is filling up with every imaginable piece of information.
I’ve been finding it really useful for finding pigeons maybe it’s because I live in a city that I find it is very therapeutic to shoot them in the game. No doubt later on it will be useful for missions that are just proving to difficult to complete.
Why not have a look and get some help to complete the game or maybe just find your favourite weapon.
