I agree with that

 

If Rockstar makes this for the PSP it looks better, GTA VCS & LCS look awesome on my psp. But Nintendo and GTA that are two different things. The nintendo ds is something for kids and for old people. So why they make a GTA for that? I hope they also make it for the psp.

Whilst this is the first GTA I'm not going to get, you have to admit as rubbish as the DS is, R* have done a good job getting it to look like it does. :p

Should've kept it 2d rather than making it slightly 3d, would have worked better and been like the originals.

Looks pretty good imo. Not sure if i'll buy it though.

Updated pics in OP.

more details (some old, some newish):

 

• Camera can swivel 360 degrees
  
• Trains will pass overhead in the city, cars will circle, pedestrians will be walking, etc.
  
• GPS seen on the touch screen while you move through the city
  
• PDA allows you to gain access to the map with more details as well as the goals of missions
  
• You can mark points that you want and the GPS will always tell you the shortest legal route to the destination with yellow or blue arrows
  
• New discoveries (such as gas stations) are added to the map
  
• Top screen brings you all the action, while the lower screen will let you control elements like the PDA, GPS, the radio, access to the people on the map, or using Motolov cocktails and grenades.
  
• Drugs have a big importance in the game
  
• Drug system can be compared to Drugwars
  
• You have to control the stock of drugs, buy them in one neighborhood and sell them in another
  
• You are given a map so that you know what people demand and at what prices
  
• Like other GTA games, in Chinatown Wars, you can catch a taxi whistle into the microphone so the taxi will stop
  
• It will be set in Liberty City, but Alderney will not be included
