Social Club members who own Chinatown Wars will be able to track detailed game stats and compare them with their Friends on Social Club. Also exclusive to Social Club members are hidden missions waiting for the player to unlock. Find the two missing Guardian Lion statues in the game to gain access to this secret content via Rockstar Games Social Club. More secret in-game unlockables will be announced soon, exclusively accessible to Social Club members.

Getting Started:
To gain entry to the special features for Chinatown Wars, you will first want to obtain a Friends Code and link your account. This will allow you to connect your game to the Social Club and enable future stats syncing. Detailed instructions can be found at the new Chinatown Wars Account Linking tool in your member Profile settings - click here to access (must be registered, logged-in member).

Find Your Friends:
When you sync your stats, your Nintendo DS Friends Roster will also be joined to your Social Club account. You can then compare your stats to your friends'. Make sure to tell your friends to also sign up to Social Club to take part in this feature.

Guardian Lions:
Rumor has it some very valuable Chinese artifacts arrived and promptly disappeared in our fair city. On their way to the museum, a pair of priceless statues called The Lions of Fo that once guarded a recently unearthed ancient Shaolin temple were stolen. The now missing statues are worth a substantial fortune on the black market. The perpetrators of the heist have hidden them in Liberty City while they attempt to offload them. Once you have completed the main story missions, your quest for the two lost Guardian Lions will begin. Social Club will provide members with hints as to where to locate them, and, once found, will present a special key to unlock new secret story missions.

More To Come:
These features are just the beginning for the Chinatown Wars section. We will be adding activities here that allow you to earn extra in-game cash as well as other special unlockables. Check back soon for more announcements.

5/5 (PERFECT SCORE) - GAMEPRO, EDITORS' CHOICE
"A FANTASTIC ADDITION TO ROCKSTAR'S LEGACY...
...maintains the incredible innovations in both technology and player accessibility that the title's previous installments have supplied... From drug distribution, insurance racketeering to old fashioned car-jacking and street races, everything you know and love about the Grand Theft Auto series is here with some fantastic new contributions and handheld-specific alterations... This is Grand Theft Auto the way you love it: all of the innovation, charm and thrills from its past installations neatly tied together in a creative package worthy of any DS owner."

"This is GTA on a smaller screen, but by no means a smaller scale... massive, diverse playgrounds, teeming with cars, pedestrians, the series' trademark missions and side-games, wonderfully rendered in surprising detail by an engine that ranks among the best on the platform...CHINATOWN WARS IS A TRIUMPH, not just in terms of bringing a difficult game to a new platform intact, but because it actually improves it in the process, and demonstrates a mastery of DS form and function... Overall this is GTA as it first was, with the inherited wisdom of GTA as it's been since, finished off with all sorts of things that would happily belong in a GTA of the future."

9.5 - IGN, EDITORS' CHOICE
