Gordon Hall the president of Rockstar Leeds, the developer behind GTA: Chinatown Wars, has told Nintendo Power that Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will be "far bigger" than either of the PSP GTA titles. The studio also developed GTA: Liberty City Stories along with Vice City Stories for the PSP but despite the lesser DS hardware Hall claims Chinatown Wars is set to take the cake.
Chinatown Wars has it over the PSP versions with "more odd jobs, deeper missions, and more moments of over-the-top action," according to Hall. The DS version also features "huge interaction with the Rockstar Social Club [and] a massive [narcotics trafficking] game that would stand alone on its own." Rockstar appear to be attempting to crush any remaining doubt about a 'watered down' GTA game for the DS, although only time will tell if they've truly succeeded.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will be released in Australia on March 20 2009.

I'm a little disappointed with the amount I'm hearing about the graphics not being the greatest. What do you expect this isn't GTAIV it's a DS game. Graphics also don't make them game, Ocarina of Time or the NES Mario games are still some of my favourites and they aren't the best graphically by todays standards, it doesn't make them any worse. The screens are actually looking quite nice and I'm glad they've gone for cel shading. I remember when Wind Waker was announced and everyone was bagging it, but it is one of the best games I've ever played and I'm glad they stuck with the cel shading for Phantom Hourglass.
