A “members only” online community that allows you to sync up all of your personal stats and check out the various online leaderboards, right from within the game. And when using your in-game laptop computer found in your apartment, you have the ability to access the Rockstar Social Club. The games PDA system, your do-it-all menu system, includes your email (a means to receiving communications and missions from games characters), a GPS system allowing you to set way points to various locals through out the city, and the ability to save anywhere (a welcome addition many GTA fans have been waiting for). Some might seem a bit gimmicky, maybe even hit or miss at times, but it never takes away from the overall experience. It may not have a touch screen, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t fun. “How will they pull off the various touch screen mini-games?” Well let me be the first to say that not only did I enjoy the mini games (whether hot wiring cars, making molotov cocktails, or sabotaging things) it never felt like it was done half ass on the PSP. Having never played the DS version and not really knowing what to expect, there was one question that I would constantly hear after this title had been announced. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, a lot of stupid people out there think that these GTA games are mindless entertainment but if you really understand the writing and all of the subtleties and undertones you can really get some insight into how deep of a social satire these games are. Huang and all of the out-of-whack-with-reality characters you interact with along the way are quite entertaining. It may sound cliché, but still tons of fun along the way.Īs usual with any GTA title, the writing is top notch. This is where the game opens up as you have to swim to the dock and get yourself to Uncle Kenny’s restaurant to get back the “Yu Jian”, and get revenge on those who killed your father and those who tried to kill you. They shoot him in the head, take the sword and leave him for dead by throwing him into the river. His trip doesn’t go as planned as he is attacked and kid napped by would be assassins who snatch him up after he lands at Francis International Airport. After his father is killed back home in Hong Kong, Lee embarks on a journey to Liberty City to deliver his a sword called the “Yu Jian”, which is like a Lee family heirloom to his eccentric uncle, Kenny Lee. For the most part (well the beginning of the game at least) he is a spoiled, silver-spooned crime-family brat. In the game you play as Huang Lee, a member of the Triads crime syndicate. Supply and demand is what it’s all about. Dealing isn’t really part of the main missions, but it’s a big part of the in-game economy as you can make additional income while learning the ins–and outs of drug dealing in Liberty City. The drug trafficking element in the game is a welcome return to some good old-fashioned Rockstar Games controversy. GTA: CW, although it’s the most cartoony looking title in the serious is by far the most mature, and quite possibly the most engaging as it has just as much to offer as the GTA titles found on non-portable machines. Fast forward to 2009 and it’s another team’s turn in continuing what Rockstar North started as Rockstar Leeds, leads (pun intended) the way in the next title in the franchise - Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

With Vice City Stories, and Liberty City Stories before it, the development team at Rockstar North we’re able to really gain serious experience while working with the handheld.
