8/10
fresh and different
18 November 2009
I am actually confused to give this game a rating of 8. I think that would make my review underrated. So i start the game again on the psp have a quick gaming session and return to the review. Yes Chinatown wars is on the psp and after playing on the ds i still found enough reason to get back to it. Forget the fact that I have played it in the past. Here the review is based totally on the psp title. The game has improved textures and draw distance over the time they shifted it to the psp and this is great as it has a fresh and shiny finish to it. So in a way it is really great and if you have a psp and you are not playing this game this would be a crime that will get you 2 stars. Lol. Coming to the story and other issues it is a terrible let down. The characters are pathetic and the only interesting element is the dialogues. Some are funny but they get washed out in the process. Its a bunch of weird characters that are all living a life filled with crime. Not to mention plot twists that are around every corner. I do not want to ruin the story either but it is not something that is great. One last flaw is the mini game transition. It suited the ds but not the psp. On the whole the game is an amazing pass time and the inclusion of multiplayer adds to it. This review is made only if you are doubting the minds of the great rockstar games. This is still an outstanding achievement and my review has barely scratched the surface. Try it.I am sure you will love it.

P.S-Other user reviews compare this game to gta4. I mean are you serious?Please don't..
