OCTChinatown Wars PSP: Gamespot's highest rated PSP game of all time
GTA: Chinatown Wars - General News | @ 03:29 PM CST | By Slim Trashman
Matching the score of its DS counterpart, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars has earned itself the bragging right of being Gamespot's highest rated PSP game of all time with a review score of 9.5/10, surpassing even its PSP predecessors, GTA: Liberty City & Vice City Stories
At first glance, Chinatown Wars could be mistaken for a return to the Grand Theft Auto series' humble 2D beginnings. The action is viewed from a more or less top-down perspective, and of course you still spend much of your time driving stolen cars and causing trouble with firearms. But the similarities between this superb PSP game and its '90s progenitors pretty much end there. Chinatown Wars actually has more in common with GTAs III and IV than it does with earlier games, and, remarkably, it even adds to and improves on the formula that made those games so successful. That's a bold statement for sure, but Chinatown Wars really is that good... It's also one of the best GTA games yet.

GameSpot notes in their review that the only flaws with the game are its lack of support for more than 2 people in multiplayer, camera issues, and some DS minigames not working well on the platform.
