The official Chinatown Wars website underwent a minor change last night, with updates to the release date and the addition of some new artwork. Rockstar's latest broadcast email confirmed this was the box art and included the Nintendo DS box surround.

My little brother will probably buy this for his DS, my one is kinda fucked. Still works but not in good condition. Anyway, boxart looks good. This game is definitely not as hyped up as GTA IV. I can understand why though lol.

Seems inconsistent with most of the other GTA boxes, eh?

But wait there wasn't even a helicopter in GTA3!

Well yeah I guess this box art is a bit different but it doesn't really matter to me as long as the game is half-decent on the DS.

There are Helis in GTA3, but you cant fly them yourself....

Anyway, the boxart actualy looks decent, pity the guns look alittle off.

Not necessarily, just like Shortbus said there was a helicopter on the boxart of GTA3 but you never got to use one, so that may be the same deal for CW.

ChinaTown Wars is gonna suck so hard even Chris Crocker will love this. I think X-Play on G4 will rate this a 4/5. But there's no helicopter in this boxart.

Well honestly how fun do you think the game would be with a helicopter. We don't even know the size of the map yet so you might not even need a heli. Plus the controls would probably be pretty crappy on the DS... but I dunno maybe they might end up being in the game.

I serouisly doubt that they will have a chopper. Maybe in a cut secene, but not in game.
