I played the (much better looking) DS version.

Chinatown Wars is a pleasant surprise. Lots of fun mission ideas, the world looks beautiful, and the game feels great. There's some iffy 2009 dialogue but otherwise has some funny moments. I really enjoyed Huang. The touchscreen gimmicks were also a joy to play with.

Makes me sad that modern mobile gaming is now so advanced that we'd never get a game like this these days. Chinatown Wars is itching for some kind of follow up (with twin stick or M+K controls, first and foremost)
