Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars on Nintendo DS in US stores now

Grand Theft Auto - Chinatown on Nintendo DSRockstar Games is pleased to announce that Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is now available in stores across North America, and will be available in Europe on March 20. Developed by the award-winning studio Rockstar Leeds in conjunction with series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is available exclusively for the Nintendo DS.

"Our teams set out to create the most massive and intense action experience on the DS," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "Rockstar Leeds has innovated on what the 'Grand Theft Auto' series has stood for and the end result is something we’re incredibly proud to share with our fans."

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is an entirely original entry into the critically acclaimed Grand Theft Auto series, and brings a new level of interactivity to the world of Liberty City. Players will assume the role of Huang Lee, a member of the Chinese Triad crime syndicate who must navigate his way through the streets to uncover the truth behind an epic tale of crime and corruption.

Game Informer magazine wrote, "Working on a smaller platform isn't stopping Rockstar from thinking big. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars commandeers the Nintendo DS to deliver the same bombastic mix of humor, violence, and vehicular mayhem found on consoles." IGN.com said, "Believe me...this game is the business."

G4.com wrote, “To call Chinatown Wars feature-laden would be an understatement on par with calling glaciers slow...Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars hits the DS on March 17th and with it comes a whole new rap sheet for Nintendo's handheld…Chinatown Wars looks pretty sick."

Official Nintendo Magazine recently reviewed the game, saying “With the arrival of Chinatown Wars, the DS can now boast a GTA title that's every bit as compelling, impressive and fun to play as its home console cousins.”

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the Nintendo DS is rated M for Mature by the ESRB. For more information, please visit www.rockstargames.com/chinatownwars.
