    The fact they got MF DOOM and ghost face killa to do the intro song is enough for this to be my favourite

    That intro was badass.

    Apparently, CTW has the most realistic car hijacking.

    I mean the game was originally for the DS that's why there's no voice actor and animation you know when they port to the PSP they do like comic book art style and add new features and new missions

      I had both versions and it didn't even occur to me that the DS was why there was no voice acting during the cutscenes.

    One of the things that I enjoyed about Chinatown wars was stealing goods from gangs or buying them from one dealer to another dealer at a specific deadline, i remember making like 1 million dollars halfway through the game.

    from what i have seen regarding 6 there is a belief they are bringing the drug deal system from this back in a new way and im all for it

    I'm in the minority here but I actually like Huang Lee's sometimes cheeky most of the time sarcastic drypan humor, I chuckled here and there reading his dialogues. I feel like if the game had voice acting it would have been more memorable.
    Edit: Also, the drug trading mechanic would be ok with gta iii or vice city but it wouldn't have fit within the thematics of San Andreas given how the main storyline has CJ and the gang fighting against it.

    The mini-games in this game looks interesting. And I've heard somewhere that the drug dealing was supposed to be a part in GTA San Andreas, but then that idea was scrapped due to hardware limitations. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but it's cool to see it here.

      they also wanted to do this minigame in gta 4 but it was scrapped too

    I feel like this one is really underrated! Played it as a kid and it smacks, plus there’s mods to give you a third person pov like in 4 or, as I recently saw, you can even play it in full 3D vr. Turns out it was 3D the whole time they just chose not to bring it down cause the textures were mid.

    This 1 is good I wish Rockstar would bring back hotwire mechanics for older vehicles & a hacking tool for newer vehicles also would be nice if some vehicles had the key in the ignition the drug dealing was also a fun aspect of this game. I bought grand theft auto china town wars when i was 11 at a walmart the employee didn't even ID me

    I played it when it came out. Still the most fun gta. I tried it on my phone years ago but it wasn't the same.

    1:54 while not a direct sequel there are still plenty of connections,besides taking place in Liberty City and having the same businesses(Brucie's garage,Manny Escuela's graffiti,etc) in Gta 4 in the website for the police database you can find files for Huang,Uncle Kenny,Chan, Zhou,Hsin,Lester Leroc and Rudy D'avanzo and the medicine Niko and Packie steals in that truck mission belonged to Zhou Ming and It elaborates on the Angels of Death(and their leader,Lester Arnold) and the Petrovic Crime Syndicate(russian mafia in the game) that took a backstage in the og game
    And Alderney isn't on the game because the Nintendo Ds wouldn't handle it and there is no Triad activity on the state,as the Gta 4 Online epilogue shows that Petrovic took over there

    Chinatown War is easily the best top down GTA. The older top down GTA's are almost unplayable without a mouse and keyboard and even then it's still outdated. Chinatown Wars is modernised and refined and a lot more Arcade like, set in the HD Universe with features that aren't even in the mainline GTA 4 games. I would love to see a newer entry released for mobile and the Switch. I think there still is a lot more room for improvement with a top down style GTA. Chinatown Wars did not have tanks, jets and planes.

    He kinda looks like a chinese niko bellic, makes you wonder if Chinatown wars was originally just a DS port for GTA 4

    Rockstar Should Make CW, LCS, VCS Trilogy In Definitive Edition For Steam, I Would Buy It.
    The Chinatown Wars In 3D Remaster Would Be Nice

    If you want to get 100% out of this games you must play android /ios port. It has sharp visuals plus touchscreen mini games from DS version. And it is way better to hotwire the car using touchscreen than using buttons to do it.
