Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (PlayStation Portable)

To do: Document 2 late prototype build

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars takes the series back to a bird's-eye view and follows the misadventures of Huang Lee on his quest to retrieve a stolen family heirloom. Released a few months after the Nintendo DS original, the PSP version lacks the touch screen features but makes up for it with new radio stations as well as five new missions not included in any future ports.

Unused Text#

ROM.WAD contains the in-game text spread throughout numerous .gxt files, instead of one big one for each language like in the previous titles.
