    Left For Dead in the Worst Place in America
    Following his father's murder, Huang Lee has a simple mission: deliver an ancient sword to his Uncle Kenny to ensure his family retains control of the Triad gangs of Liberty City.

    The sheer amount of content, the amazing graphics, and gameplay that will keep you coming back for more whether you choose to follow the story or rampage through Liberty City on your own is absolutely amazing.

    It's one of the most complete iPhone games to date, and its mature storyline is not to be missed. Even if you've played Chinatown Wars on another handheld device, buy it again: it's Liberty City in your pocket.

    As a £5.99 iPhone title though, GTA Chinatown Wars is one hell of an accomplishment, and Rockstar should be showered with drugs and hookers for bringing it to the App Store so successfully.

    The PSP version of Chinatown Wars is still superior, due to the less clumsy controls and included soundtrack. However, if an iPhone is all you have, this definitely doesn't feel like a second rate effort.

    Great Game Best on IOS the game might be top down but there is just so much to do buy it and it's not a bad price I've put in at least a hundred hours and you can even buy and deal drugs, assasinate and even plant bugs on cars with a huge city and a lot of things hidden in the city one of the best mobile games ever… Expand

    like what Heavy would say in Team Fortress 2, "Oh, this is bad!" Do not but this game or you will regret it for the rest of your entire life. Outdated 2D graphics FTW!… Expand
