Chinatown isn't the only area making the jump to DS.  In a recent issue of Nintendo Power, a feature on the upcoming Chinatown Wars revealed that four of Liberty City's five boroughs would also be making the transition.

Dukes, Bohan, Broker, and Algonquin will be playable in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, while the Jersey-inspired Alderney is sitting this one out.  In addition to these explorable regions, the game will also have a rotating camera that provides the player with a top-down view of the city.  Pedestrians and vehicles are making an appearance and will once again be at your mercy.

On top of displaying mini-games, the dual touch screens can also act as an all-in-one PDA, handling many of the computer functions found in GTA IV like checking email, viewing maps, GPS navigation, changing the radio, and game statistics. 

"This has the full weight and energy of a GTA production," producer Dan Houser assured GTA followers in his interview with Nintendo Power.  After the game was delayed, some fans might be expecting one hell of a game.
