Chinatown Wars PSP: oh the ironing

Gamasutra - News - GTA: Chinatown Wars To See PSP Release

At only 86,000 units -- a small number for a high-rated installment of a major franchise on a prolific platform -- Chinatown Wars' initial sales on the DS in March disappointed analysts, and the game quickly became a poster child in discussions on the potential for Mature-rated titles to succeed on Nintendo's family-friendly portable.

Selling so badly on the DS it gets a PSP port? That's gotta be a first.

weird (about the disappointing sales comment), i had a friend who had to hunt around for 3 days to find a copy when it came out. he said it's pretty great too.

Shoulda dropped the GTA moniker and called it Chinatown Warz. woulda sold tons.

[Insanecyclone]

Still never bought this was it worth the money to buy though? Seeing as how this is a port I assume extras will be in it but fuck it I'll take two versions of the same game.

Friends say it's pathetically easy but decently fun.

I thought it was fantastic. I wonder how they'll handle all of the touch screen stuff in this, even though it was generally mundane shit, I thought all of the touch screen stuff was great. Having to make your own petrol bombs and assembling a sniper rifle to assassinate someone was great.

Vice City was great, even if it was just Scarface The Game.

[Jefe]

Definitely Vice City was the high point of the franchise.

Vice City had the best atmosphere out of all of the games and had so many great improvements over IIIs engine; it's my favorite. I couldn't get in to SA or IV.

lol at the comment about "mature rated games on Nintendo's DS." They shoulda known that well ahead of time. Or they could of changed all the alchohol to "milk" and all the powdery drugs to trading "flour" and the game would be kid friendly. They just needed to follow up on the anime censorship style

Imo 3 > SA > VC
