I like that the main character is azn that's awesome. I'll probably get it for my PSP, I was going to get it on DS, but then I heard the PSP announcement, so I'll wait to see how that version pans out.

There's no real clincher that the DS has that'd make it a must have over any PSP version of the game... I mean the touchscreen isn't used for that much and I guess the PSP screen is big enough to hold all of the stuff that's present on the second screen for the DS.

THe only things the DS version really does with the touch screen is use it for mini-game puzzles and such and breaking into cars and stuff which is pretty fun to do actually but can easily be taken out or replaced with button pushes I guess...

Another thing is that you have the ability to run in any diraction. shoot and also throw molotovs or grenades or whatever in whichever direction at the same time on the DS version... don't think it'd be possible to emulate that on the PSP version.

On the other hand the PSP version would probably control bette using the analog slider thingy that the PSP has... which usually sucks but would actually be good for Chinatown Wars.

Didn't realize I had never posted in this thread. Chinatown Wars is definitely on my to-get list for DS, and I definitely will get it eventually. It sounds great, the only thing that sucks is its sales which pretty much guarantees that the DS won't see much else like this for a while.

Also, I could see it working on iPhone, why not?

Chinatown was is pretty heavy with button usage and only uses touch as a secondary feature.
