GTA Chinatown Wars is an underrated game tbh

So when I was younger my parents didn't let me play M rated games plus I only had Nintendo DS, so this was my only option (I secretly downloaded it into my R4 card kek) to play GTA.

The game was honestly lots of fun and the gameplay using the stylus for throwing grenades/molotovs or minigames it's awesome. The missions were short but fun and felt varied, the story was good too. There were some unique mechanics like selling drugs as side job.

Also for being an isometric perspective game it could get pretty gruesome, the chainsaw cuts NPCs in half and same when they get blown up by explosives. Also with the taser or molotovs you could set people on fire.

There was also a PSP version with some extra content and better graphics which I think has better gameplay than the GTA Stories games. The lack of second joystick is noticeable in those but in Chinatown Wars it's not a problem thanks to the perspective.

I played that game for hours on my PSP as a kid; it was surprisingly good, and I even powered it back on a few months ago in remembrance of those halcyon days.

Is it just as good as the Nintendo DS / is it the same?

I have heard that they are a bit different. Obviousely on the DS you can use the touch screen for certain missions and tasks.

The PSP version has better graphics though. Almost fully 3D.

Can you also become a drug dealer there with literal economy mechanics?

I know the PSP has better graphics and sound. There is also a difference in how the mini-games are done.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Thanks mango. I will give it a try once my arm is healed and I can rebuild my PC to emulate.
Or I might get a PSP in good condition.

I have overstretched my Bizeps muscle and the nerve literally shut down.
I can barely activate the muscle.
Yesterday was worse.

The doc said that the nerve will recover. It got overstimulated and shut down.

But no pain at all. The arm feels slightly numb and I can barely lift anything. My arm feels so alien. LoL

Fucking wageslaving is killing me slowly, man.

Can't even play games properly for now.

Brutal. Hope you feel better soon.

Could never get into it after playing 3d GTA games it's like coming back to play GTA 1/2 in 2025 year not happening.

Thanks, man. I appreciate that. I still have to visit the neurologist to make sure that the nerve is just over agitated and not damaged.

But today already feels better than yesterday night.
