The first GTA to hit the DS, Chinatown Wars, tells the story of Huang Lee, a triad member in the modern Liberty City. Huang flies form China to deliver a ceremonial sword to Wu “Kenny” Lee and ensure the Triad inheritance. But things do not go as smoothly as planned, and Huang loses the sword shortly upon arrival in LC. He is robbed, shot and left for dead, only to survive and swear vengeance.
The title uses a cel-shaded 3D Engine and implements the classic, mission-based GTA gameplay, also incorporating the newer features of the franchise, like the safehouse, where you can store cars and items or replay completed missions. The game also features a GPS, to help you navigate Liberty City more easily.
The gamer can also engage in different drug trades, buying Coke, Heroin, Acid, Weed and other narcotics only to sell them for a bigger price, through the PDA system, but they need to be careful. Buying in bulk can attract the unwanted attention of the police, causing an immediate increase in the wanted level. Hijacking drug vans is also a money-making possibility, as players can drive them back to their safe house to retrieve the drugs or the money, if the transaction has already been made.
The game is published by Rockstar Games, Inc., developed by Rockstar Leeds and has been available for purchase since March 17, 2009. It falls under the Action, Racing / Driving genre and has a PEGI rating of 18.
