Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

Hmmm it looks like it might be time for me to find my NDS!

[H-Man]

This game is staggeringly good

As everyone has said countless times, the drug trafficking element of this game is utterly inspired. I could quite happily pick the game up, do a couple of deals to turn over a profit, scout the tips for bargains and put it down again. Rinse and repeat. Several times a day.

My DS is permanently in sleep mode now when I'm not playing this game - I can't help but pick it up at least half-a-dozen times a day for a quick sesh when I'm not doing anything else.

PS. I'm not ashamed to say that I've also done the loo trip with this game. That'll teach my boss a lesson when he grabs my DS and ham-fistedly jabs at the screen.

Anyone else had a problem with the game freezing? I've had the game freezing two times now, both times I was taking a ride in a cab and the game just froze, couldn't do anything except turn the power off. Thank God the game has an auto-save feature or otherwise I'd have been pretty pissed off.

The writing in this is fantastic. Very dry, very funny. Spot on.

I'm finding the missions in Chinatown wars more interesting than the ones in GTA 4. Its amazing to see what they have achieved using the DS.

Just scored 15k from a drug deal, kept going back and forth between the acid seller and buyer via taxi. I did get bored, I wonder how long it would've lasted!

[Guts]

Bah, pocket change, the real money's in the heroin business. Sold a bag full of the stuff for about 75K and made over 30K profits.

[Dezm0nd]

heh that just happened to me, two closely located dealers, one selling acid x 83, one buying as much as possible for stupid prices.

Clocked in 40k profit!

Doesn't seem to be many playing this. I had mine through yesterday so hopefully will get playing soon. Got Gears of War 2 still to finish and Madworld though so may be making slow progress!

Absolutely addicted to the scratch card dealies - I won myself a house after buying about 10 of them!

[Orgun]

Going to go buy a DS and this after work Soon as I heard it had a sort of Dopewars type buy/sell system I was sold.

I’ve just had a phone call to say a parcel has arrived at home from play.com, that will be this then J
Can’t wait to start it tonight even though I’m playing Saints Row 2 on the 360 and New Traveller Brave Story on the PSP will have to wait that little bit longer to be completed….

I picked this up on Saturday and have been playing this on and off since. This is the first game I've played this year for more than an hour that didn't have the word Civilization in the title and quite enjoying it so far. This is everything the GBA game should have been and more. Really hooked on the drug dealing aspect of the game, reminds me of a simple but addictive game a friend was making a few years ago but never got around to finishing. Also like the way the police chases work in this game, kinda reminds me of playing Burnout when I'm trying to get them to crash all the time. My only concern is that percentage complete score is moving up way to quickly for my liking.

Oh man my neck, just spent about 2 hours mainly doing drug trafficking and scratch cards
