Rockstar didn't just throw a shoddy emulator wrapper on this. The PC port (available on Amazon or key resellers, though sadly delisted from Steam in some regions) adapts the touch mechanics brilliantly. Instead of scratching a DS screen to hotwire a car, you mash the space bar or click a mini-game with your mouse.
Performance-wise? This thing will run on a potato. Integrated graphics? No problem. You can play this on a work laptop while pretending to join a Zoom meeting. The load times are virtually non-existent on an SSD. Okay, let’s be real. The biggest hurdle to playing GTA: Chinatown Wars on PC today is SecuROM . The digital version shipped with that nasty rootkit DRM. If you buy a used key, you might have to crack the executable just to play the game you legally own.
8.5/10 Minus 1 point for the DRM headache, plus 0.5 for the incredible mouse-controlled drug minigame.
