Another difference between Chinatown Wars and the other GTA's is the freedom from the beginning of the game: you can travel through whole Liberty City, as no areas are blocked off. In stead of running away for the police you have to let the police cars crash to shake them of. The wanted level system in Chinatown Wars has been overhauled. Like the TPV GTA's the game has an 24-hours system with day-night cycle. Despite this, life in the city is advanced: people talk to each other, buy food and use umbrellas when it's raining. The game uses cel shaded graphics and has an isometric camera view. GTA: Chinatown Wars is set in the GTA IV rendition of Liberty City. First announced at E3 2008, and was released in the US March 17th, 2009. The game has been built from the ground up specifically for the hand-held system. The upper screen shows the gameplay, while the touch screen shows the radar, PDA and other elements of the HUD. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is developed by Rockstar Leeds and is the first GTA game to appear on the Nintendo DS.
