To quote the IGN video review: “Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars continues GTA’s legacy as the premiere “sandbox” game design. Though it might look like a lot has changed in the move to the handheld platform, more has been added than taken away – there’s so much to do in this Liberty City, and it’s hard not to be impressed and amazed at some of the things the developer’s managed to pull off on the hardware. GTA: Chinatown Wars is easily one of the best Nintendo DS games on the platform.”
