Video: Here's the first trailer of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

Yes, that’s Ghostface rapping in this, the first official trailer of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. Like all good trailers, there’s minimal actual gameplay shown, but worry not! Rockstar has also launched the game’s official site today, and there’s more footage of actual, true-to-life gameplay for your to view.

So as you can see, the game doesn’t exactly have the overhead view from the original GTA games, which is what I tried to convey the other day.

While we’re on the subject of GTA, anyone play The Lost and Damned yet? My Xbox is still in for repairs so I’ve been unable to play anything, from Street Fighter IV to Everything Else. In fact, I find myself going to bed earlier now because, I mean, why bother staying up late if I can’t play my Xbox?

Remember: Chinatown Wars comes out for the Nintendo DS on March 17.
