Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is a full featured console game for the
iPhone and iPod touch from Rockstar Games. Originally GTA Chinatown Wars was released
for the PSP and Nintendo DS, and now it has been formatted and recreated to work on the
iPhone. This game is really a full featured app with a fully developed scripted storyline,
powerfully simple to use controls, amazing graphics and exciting 3D gameplay. If you’re a
fan of the Grand Theft Auto, you’ll be hard pressed not to grab this (the 19th) version of the
series on your iPhone. It is one of those games, that you will pretty much never delete from
your device. You can whip it out, play a few minutes and close it. It automatically starts up
where you left off in the story the next time you open the app.
The story is based on a character named Huang Lee, the son of a recently passed, notoriously
corrupt mobster father. Huang travels from China to meet his uncle Kenny in the city
delivering the sacred family Sword. Things take a twisted turn when he is attacked by
mobsters at the airport and left for dead in the river, the sword stolen. This throws Haung into
the violent chaotic and backstabbing world of drug lords and gives him a shot at becoming
something of a notorious gangster himself.
Controlling the action is done with a virtual d-pad on the left while on foot, with punch, kick
and drop kick buttons on the right. As you earn new weapons tap the pause button to switch
weapons you’ve collected with the punch button. When driving use left and right buttons to
steer along with a gas and brake pedal on the right. The camera angle is top down in GTA
Chinawars but it works out to look very realistic with elegantly laid out 3D structures and
dynamically changing angles as your move around the map. The game lives around a real 24
hour day with a clock with gradual shifts in day, night, rain, snow and many other subtle
visual and audio effects which make things feel real.
You stay at a hidden safe house that has a living room and a garage to store your loot. There
is also a whiteboard with magnetic letters which you can use to enter cheats in the game (see
below for details). You have access to an email account where you get sent notes and
instructions from your Uncle. You also have access to a GPS unit which you can use to
navigate to any area on the island.
The communication between characters is done via cartoon like screens with closed
captioning. The dialog in GTA Chinatown Wars is absolutely brilliant, and is actually
entertaining and fun to read unlike most games. It does contain a plethora of slang and vulgar
language which probably has led to the game being rated 17+ in the App Store, not to
mention all the violence. While driving you get access to a few different radio stations for
your listening pleasure. What’s cool is that if you create an iPod playlist called GTA and sync
it to your iPhone, GTA automatically plays it for you when you start the game.
