Chinatown Wars to be Epic
Rockstar’s upcoming handheld GTA title looks to be rather epic, as a feature in Nintendo Power magazine reveals that most of Liberty City from GTA 4 will make the jump to Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.
Four of Liberty City’s five boroughs will be featured in the game. Dukes, Bohan, Broker and Algonquin will be playable, with Alderney being the sole absentee.
It was additionally revealed that Chinatown Wars will feature a cel-shaded Liberty City that will be viewable through a 360-degree rotating camera, though the main perspective will be top-down. As one can expect, it will be populated with pedestrians and vehicles.
There will also be a PDA for emails, maps, GPS navigation, radio and others.
Chinatown Wars was originally due out this year, but has been delayed for release sometime between February and April 2009.
