Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars has just arrived for the iPhone without any early warnings of its release. Early reports state that the game is a faithful reproduction of the DS/PSP game. Check out the video after the jump.
Chinatown Wars seems to be a complete GTA experience. You have your apartment that serves as your character’s hub with a “Fruit” computer you can check emails on, a garage you can stash a car in, and when you’re on the road there is a full GPS system with a map of Liberty City that you can plot your destination on to easily get from one side of the city to the other. There’s all kinds of stat tracking that will tell you everything from how many bullets you’ve fired to how many fish you’ve fed and in-game options that offer all kinds of different tweaks to the interface and gameplay.
Gameplay and Features
The gameplay of GTA Chinatown Wars on the iPhone retains the top-down perspective that was a hallmark of the original DS and PSP versions. This perspective offers a unique take on the open-world gameplay that the GTA series is known for. Players can engage in a variety of missions that range from simple tasks to complex heists, all while navigating the bustling streets of Liberty City.
One of the standout features of the game is the touch-screen interface, which has been adapted to suit the iPhone’s capabilities. Players can use the touch screen to interact with the environment, such as hotwiring cars, assembling weapons, and navigating the in-game menus. The game also includes a robust GPS system that helps players find their way around the expansive city.
Additional Content and Replayability
GTA Chinatown Wars offers a wealth of content that ensures players will have plenty to do long after the main storyline is completed. The game includes various side missions, such as taxi driving, firefighting, and vigilante missions, which provide additional challenges and rewards. There are also numerous collectibles scattered throughout the city, including hidden packages and unique stunt jumps, which add an extra layer of exploration and discovery.
The game also features a dynamic economy system where players can buy and sell goods, including weapons and drugs, to make money. This system adds a strategic element to the gameplay, as players must decide when and where to buy and sell to maximize their profits.
GTA Chinatown Wars is currently only available in the US at the moment.
