. The Story: Left for Dead in the Worst Place in America
Following his her’s murder, Huang Lee is given what would on
the surface seem to be a simple mission: to deliver an ancient
to his Uncle Kenny to ensure his family retains control of
the Triad gangs of Liberty City. Huang is a spoiled rich kid who
expects everything to run smoothly, but his trip does not go
exactly as planned. Only minutes after arriving at the Liberty
City airport at the far end of town, he is attacked, robbed and
left for dead. Only through quickly thinking is he able to
survive and make his way back to his neighborhood, but the damage
to he and his family has been done. Now his destiny is to search
for honor, riches and revenge in the most dangerous and morally
bankrupt city in the world.
Gameplay
Chinatown Wars is set in the Grand Theft Auto IV-imagined
version of Liberty City, and contains most of its boroughs and
neighborhoods. In exploring and exploiting this vast area,
players use the game's rotatable camera to take in a 3D,
360-degree view of their environment, providing an elevated and
somewhat skewed third-person perspective, that switches to
first-person with the appropriate player action. Assuming the
role of Huang Lee your goal is to rise up in the ranks of the
underworld to challenge the Triad of Chinatown gangs that have
usurped your family's position and recover the stolen heirloom
and your lost honor. In true GTA fashion this entails gameplay
that embraces the seedy underbelly that Liberty City is famous
for. Throughout the game's 70+ missions -- all of which can be
replayed even after completion -- and its myriad of side quests,
players earn cash by completing jobs ranging from petty street
crime, all the way up to drug dealing and assassination. As in
other GTA releases, rising competence at crime raises the a
of attention received by , but unlike previous games here
players can not simply outrun alerted authorities. With each
additional star added to your 'wanted rating' players must
disable or destroy more of the pursuing units to keep them
off your tail. In addition to mission play, the game also
contains many rtunities, such as the safe cracking and car
hot-wiring mini-games and the various items and weapons hidden
throughout the game that demand skill with the PSP's analog nub
for success. By whatever means, once players have attained a
certain level of cash and street cred they will also be able to
recruit members for their own gang who pledge their loyalty by
allowing themselves to be tattooed with the mark of the player's
choosing.
Cars and Controls
Cars and control schemes play a prominent role in Chinatown
Wars. All cars feature GPS functionality based on available
roadways. Directions are shown on the lower of the screen as part
of the in-game PDA interface, but players may take vehicles off
roads wherever possible, with the GPs automatically resetting
when back on the pavement. While driving players also have access
to five in-game radio stations and use of their weapons. Your PDA
provides efficient management tools for your growing crime
empire, including quick weapons sw, a running total of
available cash, in-game e-mail and Internet access and nearly
instant game saves any time. The control scheme in Chinatown Wars
utilizes an easy to use and comfortable to play combination of
steering and manual and automatic weapon locks and unlocks via
shoulder buttons.
