What GTA: Chinatown Wars Looks Like On The PSP

***wraggster*** · August 27th, 2009, 20:46

Having dated Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the PSP earlier this week, Rockstar now shows us how the game handled the trip from the Nintendo DS to Sony's handheld.

It looks like they've done a fine job of maintaining the top-down perspective of the DS version, while cleaning up the graphics and sprucing up the lighting effects to better take advantage of the PSP's power. I actually think that the Chinatown Wars look might work better than trying to mimic the look of the console games like Rockstar did with the PSP Stories series.

Of course looks aren't everything, so we have to wonder how it plays. Luckily we won't be wondering long; we'll have a full hands-on report on Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the PSP next week.

Ah wow. I actually can't wait to play this. I loved the top down series.

I found it so hard to memorize the top-view maps in the first two GTA.

Horrible. Totally not buying.

I almost bought the DS version, but I am glad I waited

Love top down GTA

looks very nice on the psp, the ds one was great

Seems more like a downgrade from the other PSP GTAs. Better be cheaper.

**dgila** · August 28th, 2009, 16:45

Yeah it looks like a poor version of GTA liberty city stories. PoorKingz is right.
I wouldn't buy it

Well if framerate is up to 60 fps and the price is low (€5 or £5) XD. :rofl:

Should've been left on the DS. I don't think I could get used to looking at little specks killing other little specks after playing Liberty City Stories.

Yes, I've played GTA1 and GTA: London, and those were garbage IMO.

and yet you think LCS is the greatest thing ever?
:rofl:

This is why theres very little games worth while on psp

Something fresh and fun gets called rubbish before anyone has a chance to play it

BUT a PORT with a RECYCLED city, bad controls, dull storyline, and 2/3 of the missions being "baby sit your retard brother who cant open a car door" is leet
