Quick review: GTA Chinatown Wars (Nintendo DS)

Posted on Sunday, 18 September

Story mode completed in 16 hours. Was pretty damn fun, I even stopped playing Phantom Hourglass for it.

The Good: the story, cutscene art, mission variation, touchscreen elements.

The Bad: Below average enemy targeting system, slightly bland graphics.

The Ugly: Poor camera at times; driving a fast car and trying to look at your map at the same time is a bit annoying at times as you tend to overshoot, especially if you’re being chased by the cops.

7.8/10

Brilliant lively joyful indie, oh look surprise surprise they are signed up to Kitsune! Only one duff track out of nine - well done lads. Superb live too! Already a contender for one of albums of the year for me.

9.5/10
