The PSP version is better graphically, but I think the DS version is better in general, the use of the touch-screen in the puzzles is very interesting and the cutscenes used both screens at the same time, the online mode was really cool and when you were signed up for the social club you received missions on the DS version.
DS version looks more consistent. It has a consistent art style and atmosphere. PSP is all over the place, trying to mix in realistic lighting to a game that was meant to be cell shaded, giving it a confused look. The game was built for the DS in mind, so over all, controls and art direction is more appealing even with in the limits of the DS hardware.
Its still crazy to me how much detail and unique mechanics were put into chinatown wars even the story was something fresh and immersive with it's whole buildup I loved playing this game and the soundtrack was great I wish rockstar would remake it again for the switch or even make a sequal the main character was genuinely unique and had a personality that was like a mix of nico and Michael but with asian descent
I like the details and the shading of the characters on the DS version. Characters kinda look a bit too lightly shaded on the PSP. more detail on the DS buildings too seem to have more texture and detail PSP looks sharper and I like the light effects on the cars at night on the PSP version. Liberty city stories is the one to get on PSP shame wasn’t a grand theft auto game dedicated to the vita. Man that hand held had so much potential such a shame.
This is making me nostalgic as fuck, I remember playing this when I was 7 years old. The sounds and the music...oh man, I remember all of them. So fun.
I personally like the cell shaded look of the DS version NPCs a lot more than the weird swollen 3D models of the PSP version. Same thing for the cars, I feel like you can see the details of the cars more clearly on the DS version
DS Version to me looks more detailed with the cutscene backgrounds, better way to use the throwables, but PSP at least gave you more radio stations and actually allowed you to play more missions.

The only real critique I'd have between the two versions is that Huang in the DS only wears a t-shirt and his jacket while in the PSP, he has his red shirt along with it.
Fun fact: The PSP version has a lot of unused content from the DS version. Theres a couple textures that shows a Nintendo DS icon, being the first time a Nintendo Console is inside a Sony game.
I remember when this came out it was the craziest thing. I already had Vice City Stories on my psp so portable GTA wasn't really new to me but GTA on a nintendo console was absolutely unheard of at the time
Playing this on a 3ds with widescreen cheat is amazing!!! I prefer the look of the cutscene pictures in ds, the psp ones look too sharp yet under detailed, good comparison is the sword cutscene you can see a lot more detail indicating it’s history on the DS.
I've played and enjoy both versions. They are very well done. I would ultimately play the PSP more because it has a significant amount of extra content and music.
I've only ever played this game on PSP, but after watching this video, i really want to play the DS version. Yeah, it doesn't look as detailed as the PSP, but the gameplay really looks cool how it takes advantage of both screens. I'll probably check it out.
