    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 Outdated 2D graphics FTW!

    The game is excellent, combining 3D graphics and the 2D graphics gives a new style, the story is a little weak but the missions are impressive. Very enterteining.

    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

    I am big GTA fan,I liked GTA CW very much but this game is kinda make me sad because they removed Alderney city from the game.Also,there are some mission from PSP is not exist on iOS version.The storyline of this GTA is good,gameplay is good too.

    It is still a very good game to play.

    Bad game shouldn't even be called GTA, it would be much better if the camera was the same as GTA 1/2

    No matter which version is "best," Chinatown Wars is still a fun game on whatever you're playing it on; a game that scratches the itch for GTA's particular blend of action, done up in a nifty hybrid of the old 2D editions and the well-familiar 3D sequels.

    A very respectable port to the iPad gives the platform perhaps its most impressive game. Veterans and newcomers of Chinatown Wars should take note.

    The iPad version of the game, is not the best version of Chinatown Wars, but it is still a great game.
