Right, I made this thread to ask how you guys would recommend this game to someone else, say owners of other GTA's on the forum have a look at CTW and decide not to get it cuz it looks bad or cuz it's on the DS. If they look at this thread in the CTW section they might like what they see and expand Chinatown Wars' population amongst GTA gamers. So here, say something you like about the game and say if you'd recommend it to them as a fun and good game to play, or not. colgate.gif

 

I highly recommend this game because although it looks like a top down GTA (it is in fact isometric view) it still has all the spirit of GTA and even better than some of the fully 3d 3rd person view ones, in my opinion. smile.gif

If I was to refer this game to someone, I would say something along the lines of this (maybe a bit more casual):

But yet they still manage to run those unnecessary comparison videos, that more often not they tamper. Although I must agree, they do good reviews.

 

I didn't really check up on the GTA:CW reviews myself, I just followed a few previews and stuck around this forum and then bought it when it came out. However Kotaku was the best for GTA IV coverage (and review). I don't know if their GTA:CW review was equally as good, and would help convince someone to buy the game.

To be honest when I first heard about CTW last year I thought it was going to be a watered down GTA to fit with the DS image, but after a couple of days of owning it, it's every bit of GTA that I've known for the last 12 years or so.

 

The thing I love about it is how it's a throw back to the original GTAs whilst incorporating GTA III era, and GTA IV features.

 

The drug dealing is f*cking awesome. Seriously that's the thing I've been doing the most since I bought it.

 

I actually really like how it looks like a cartoon. IMO if it had the traditional 3rd person view from the GTA III era, and GTA IV it wouldn't feel as unique. The use of the touch screen is quite impressive too. The missions from what I've done so far are pretty creative. Probably more than GTA IV, as much as I don't like to admit it.

 

Overall I would recommend this game to anyone who is as passionate about the series as me, but even for someone who's never played a GTA game before. smile.gif

If someone asked me if they should buy it, I wouldn't hesitate to say that they should. icon14.gif Even if they had never played a GTA game before.

Chinatown wars is a mustbuy, but I'm easy to please.

While I'm here, can someone snapmap the location of the gunclub? I don't know where to find it. Near the Airport LOLZ

Doesn't help much.

Yes, you can do this facedesk.gif

I like to refer to gametrailers to choose my game, they do after all make the best reviews IMO

Gametrailers review of GTA: Chinatown Wars

I always turn to GameTrailers whenever i'm interested in a particular game 'cos they give awesome video reviews.

 

[ON TOPIC]: I would DE-FIN-ITE-LY recommend CTW. It's just amazing.

I would recommend it, it's an awesome game and although the graphics may disappoint some, they fit with the gameplay style.
