When I reviewed Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars for the iPad last fall, I summed up as follows:
To repeat what I did with the iPhone version, I will once again rank the four versions of GTA: Chinatown Wars, I would do it as follows:
- The DS version has the most balanced overall experience … but worst graphics
- The PSP version has the best movement controls.
- The iPhone version is the worst version but still a solid value
- The iPad version is the best value, has best graphics, solid controls and is my overall favorite
Once again, let me reiterate that I think all four versions of the game are excellent, and think that you should get the game for whatever platform you are using the most. The iPad and iPhone version are both priced at $9.99 on the iTunes App Store, but are still considerably cheaper than the other versions. The DS and PSP versions each currently sell for $20 at Amazon.
Since release last September, the game has seen a single sale, a 50% off sale six months ago! Now Rockstar has put it on sale again, saying:
** Enjoy the Summer with a limited Price Promotion – from now until Sunday, July 31st, get Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for only $2.99! Offer ends 11:59pm on Sunday (EST). **
That is a great deal for a game that is better than the Gameloft GTA clones and remains one of the top action games on the iPad!
Head to iTunes App Store and grab GTA Chinatown Wars NOW!
