 Not a good GTA game compared to the others February 4, 2010

I have played GTA; Liberty city and Vice City stories on the PSP and was looking forward to this release. I had read some reviews that had said that China town Wars was not very good but i decided that I should try it out.
Disadvantages:
Firstly and most noticeably, the view has changed, gone are the multi-view options of old, now it's a straight looking down from above view which means that all the vehicles look similar and that it's a lot harder to control.
Secondly the cut scenes are now just stills, this is probably in keeping with the comic book approach and Chinese animation influence, but it is annoying and the dialog track has been replaced by subtitles,(gangs of London has a similar approach, but does at least have a voice over, and has its own set of problems)
Thirdly the radio stations, gone are the moderately funny channels with the DJ's insulting each other; they have been replaced by very annoying music.
Advantages:
Some new things have been added and are good such as: having to hot wire stolen cars rather than just jump in and drive off. The drug dealing portion of the game also seems good and there are lots of thing to discover and do around the city.
Unfortunately the disadvantages massively out way the advantages and it is such a shame that a brilliant series has (to my mind) been ruined by this very week installment, I hope that a new GTA is released much more in the style of vice city with maybe some of the good bits from China Town wars.
I have given this game 1 star because compared to its much, much better predecessors it does come up very short.
 THIS IS THE MOST FUNNEST GTA YET January 3, 2010

Looking at other reviews i thought you hated it but my question is why the graphics are perfect on both nintendo ds and psp
i found the story mode very fun
the driving is calm but maybe hard in some moments
the shooting is good to not hard either
and the setting is a good place
So that brings me to my final words of this review PERFECT
Definately worth buying December 30, 2009

I asked for this game for christmas, only knowing that it had been released on the Nintendo DS, and had a top-down view on that. I heard it was out for the PSP (That was the only reason I asked for it), thinking that it'd be like Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories or Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, which was a bit naive of me.. But that's not what we're here to talk about so I'll continue.
Upon turning on my PSP, and loading up the game.. It has the same loading style as other Grand Theft Auto games, and then it introduces with a top-down view. With that I was disappointed, I'd expected more from Rockstar, instead of an almost identical port of the DS game. But, after playing for about half an hour or so I was fine with the top-down view (I had tried to change the camera, don't worry!). After a while it just sticks, and you feel fine with the top-down view, and it doesn't affect the gamestyle play, other than the fact that it's harder to dodge traffic, though it doesn't happen enough to cause mass anger.
The mini-games are welcome in my eyes, and very enjoyable, as there are a few of them. The graphics are awesome, and it makes the most of the PSP's capabilities - The graphics wouldn't look out of place on a Playstation Two!
I don't want to cause controversy, but the other reviewers who have said that the top-down view is rubbish, buy another PSP game etc.... Sound like they haven't played the original Grand Theft Auto games that gave Rockstar a successful base on which to change the camera view with.
This game is near perfect, and it is easy to get addicted to it - Not just the missions, which aren't too challenging, but there are safehouses to buy, drugs to deal, cameras to destroy and little side missions like in all Grand Theft Autos since number three.
Definately worth buying!
Very Disappointed December 28, 2009

After playing Vice City and Liberty City on the PSP I was really looking forward to this game. What a let down, I played it for 15 minutes and could not get on with the birds eye view game play and terrible graphics for a PSP game.
Reminded me of GTA 1 mixed with Dope Wars, both good in there own time but things have moved on. I didn't realise it was a port from the inferior DS and as a result this game takes a massive steps backwards.
This Game is an insult to previous PSP GTA players.
I will now probably sell it or just give it away.
Don't believe the hype!!! December 23, 2009

Firstly, this is nowhere as good as the previous versions on the psp. I have both and can't believe the drop in quality.From the replacement of animated cut scenes with still images and text. Then with the replacement of realistic up close 3d game graphics with cell shaded top down images (where people are the same width as cars). -It actually feels like gta 1 from all those years ago. (which is why I haven't given it 1 star as obviously they were good in their day). Then the replacement of acutal radio dj's and real songs with musak that just distracts rather than adding to the game. The reason for this overall drop is obvious when you see the ds version -which is identical minus the screen prodding, and you realise that instead of pushing the power of the psp to create graphics like on gran turismo or assisins creed they lazily produced the best they could for the ds and just ported it over. -WHY BOTHER! if you want poor graphics you would just buy a ds in the first place. But I don't want to sound too negative. The story is interesting in its way and if you can overlook the graphics and drop in quality, the gameplay might just be bearable. As an extra warning, if anyone outthere is considering downloading it from the psp store, please don't- as you cant sell it on when you realise and are left with a permenant reminder of your purchasing error.
Heed my words, don't buy it.
Additional note-(The reason I feel very cheated is firstly the {I feel}misleading 5 star reviews which claim brillance and secondly my own assumption that as the first 2 on the psp had good 3d graphics and funny original and high quality Real music, that this would be even better or even the same. I was disapointed twice)
