Get down in Chinatown
26 April 2010
The Grand theft auto series has made a name for itself in the past 10 years. From drive-by shootings by gangsters in the 1990s to bringing a new generation of kids to music of the 80s, GTA has nearly done it all. so now liberty city is seeing the triads rise to power in 2009, all because of one young man...Huang lee.

Upon arrival in Liberty city, Huang lee is mugged, shot, and left for dead in the liberty city bay. it's his intention to right all the wrongs against him...which include solving his father's murder, working for his uncle Kenny to bring the triads to power, and most importantly, to recover a great treasure that has been in his family for decades upon centuries...a Sword.

I play the DS version of the game, and i gotta tell ya, it's fun. if you hate the portable GTA games, they've come a long way since the straight up overhead view. even though Chinatown wars is kind of like that, at least it's not 100% overhead...more like 70%. one guy commented saying that once you get a wanted level, you're screwed. thats not the case. get 3 or 4 stars and yeah, maybe you'll end up with a nightstick in your butt, but just hide in a safehouse, save your Progress, and your wanted level disappears.

Quite Possibly the most fun feature is the drug dealing. this game allows you to deal drugs and make crap-tons of money doing it. Weed and Downers are 2 digit valued, Ecstasy and Acid are triple digit valued, and Cocaine and Heroin are the most expensive and hardest to get, at 4 digit value. just make sure you die running from the cops, because they can't take drugs or guns from a dead Huang.

Also, ammu-nation has gone online. No longer can you walk into an ammunation gun shop. you have to order them online.

overall, I Strongly Suggest you play this game. it lives up to what little hype it was given, and it certainly will be a fun half hour when you're bored.
