Nintendo Power recently got a chance to sit down and play Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, as we reported earlier this month. They published some details of the game in this month's issue of the magazine. We currently don't have a scan of the magazine, however thanks to botticus over at NeoGAF, we do have the information revealed by the magazine:

• True GTA game - sandbox gameplay, open-world environment, gritty crime narrative.
• M-rating
• Isometric camera angle
• Cel-shaded polygons w/ black borders
• Good touch-screen implementation - "tasteful" minigames, streamlining interface
• UI based on a PDA - hub for email, contacts, map, music player, GPS, stat-tracking
• Stats uploaded to Rockstar Social Club website via Wi-Fi
• Finger-sized icons
• Missions designed for shorter periods of play, arcade quality
• Aiming with control pad, auto targeting with R button
• Subtle auto steer
• If you fail a mission, you can jump back to the action sequence
• Chain gun, flamethrower
• Good portion of Liberty City is modeled in the game (different routes than console games)
• No problems with load times, draw-in or frame rate
• Lots of pedestrians, cars, etc. on screen
• Wanted System - objective is to disable police cars any way possible
• Real-time weather effects, 24-hour day/night cycle
• Lots of radio stations to listen to (more instrumentals than vocals)
• 800,000 lines of hand-optimized source code
• No details yet on multiplayer/Wi-Fi features

If your wondering what an isometric camera angle is, it's the same camera angle used in Rockstar Leed's port of Max Payne to the GameBoy Advance:

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will be hitting your DS sometime this winter.

UPDATE: The screenshots that were in the magazine, have now been posted.
