Developed by Rockstar Leeds and released in 2009, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is an open-world action-adventure game available on Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, iOS, and Android. Set within a sprawling urban environment, the game follows a story centered on crime and corruption inside the Triad syndicate. Players navigate city streets, uncovering the truth behind a conspiracy as they engage in the criminal underworld. The Nintendo DS version makes prominent use of the system's touch screen to introduce an additional layer of interactivity to its mechanics, a feature that distinguishes it within the broader Grand Theft Auto series. Chinatown Wars maintains the franchise's characteristic emphasis on open environments and narrative depth while adapting the experience to handheld and mobile platforms.
Huang Lee, the spoiled son of a recently murdered Triad boss, arrives by plane in Liberty City with Yu Jian, a sword that Huang's father won in a poker game and has decided to use as an heirloom, to deliver it to the new patriarch of the family, Huang's uncle Wu "Kenny" Lee. Shortly after landing, Huang's escorts are killed by assassins and he is shot and kidnapped. The assailants steal the sword and, thinking Huang is dead, dump his body in the water. Huang manages to survive and informs Kenny that Yu Jian has been taken. Kenny explains that he had intended to offer the sword to Hsin Jaoming, the aging Triad boss in Liberty City, as a means of securing a position as his replacement. Kenny has been dishonored and reduced in power due to the loss of Yu Jian, leaving him and Huang working to keep their businesses afloat.
