It gives you access to maps of Liberty City, emails, weapons and an online version of the Ammu-nation store, via which you keep your ammo and weapons stash at your safe-house topped up. Huang Lee's PDA, displayed on the bottom touchscreen, is vital to the entire experience, performing a similar function to the phone in GTA IV. In the process he finds himself - or not. So, the overarching storyline is the old Hollywood staple of feckless son determined to avenge the wrongful death of his father. You play as lead character Huang Lee, whose Chinese Triad dad has just been offed.

The storyline, characters and dialogue are all written with customary Dan Houser flair. Still, it's comic, over-the-top violence that engenders laughter and fun, as opposed to the slightly too questionably real violence of Rockstar's Manhunt series, for example. Naturally, for a GTA game, action and violence abounds. While having the feel of the cartoony, top-down, 2D GTA games of old, the city is kinda-sorta 3D - 2.5D. The game has taken a surprisingly large chunk of Liberty City (all of it bar one island) and plonked it onto your DS. Chinatown Wars is not a port of any previous GTA game (indeed, how could it be?) and the game has been lovingly created, as they say, 'from the ground up'. A Rockstar game on the DS? A Grand Theft Auto game, of all things? Surely the DS is for kids, old people and girls? That might be the general consensus, but Rockstar's gone all-out to change it, clearly pumping a lot of time, money and effort into this latest instalment in the GTA franchise.
