For PlayStation Portable fans out there who missed Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the Nintendo DS, you will get your chance to experience one of the most epic hand-held experiences to date when the critically acclaimed title graces PSPs later this year.

G4's Sterling McGarvey had a chance to check out the upcoming portable crime extravaganza, and what he found might surprise you. That is, if you’re surprised to hear that a GTA game is a hell of a lot of fun. Here’s a snippet:

“As I plugged away artillery shells at police cars and armored vans, I noticed how the tank (though a little clumsy) handled significantly better than a similarly paced mission would have done in one of the ‘Stories’ games on PSP. GTA fans will likely notice that the mission structure in this game is better suited to a bus ride than a plugged-in PSP at home.”
