Grand Theft Auto is one of the most well-known game franchises there is. With Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, they have brought the fun and enjoyment of their signature gameplay to mobile devices.

In this article, you'll discover valuable tips and strategies if you play Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

Use the Top-Screen GPS

Instead it can be difficult to go around the sprawling city of Liberty using only the GPS, which is at the bottom of the screen. It's easy to get distracted and end up in a problematic situation when you check on the GPS. Hence, the easier alternative is to use the top-screen GPS.

To turn it on, you'd want to pause the game. Then, go to "Systems," then "Settings," and there you can activate the top-screen GPS option.

Using the GPS on the top screen is far safer than gazing at the bottom display, which could lead to many avoidable mishaps, like car accidents.

Don't Blindly Follow the GPS

The more you explore Liberty City, the more you'll notice that the British have an issue with obeying GPS directions a tad too well. Bad directions from the GPS are common, and they can force you to double back in order to execute a legal U-turn.

Of course, the main issue is not getting caught with an illegal U-turn. The cops in Liberty City don't mind such an offense. It's only when you strike them that they'll be gunning for you.

The real issue is that making U-turns will slow you down. First, the U-turn requires you to slow down the vehicle. And, you'll be inviting collisions when making it. Hence, you'd want to keep your driving as straight as possible.

Start Getting Rich

Grand Theft Auto is a game that explores the wrong side of the law. Hence, you'll likely hear terms that have different meanings, and below are some of them:

* Pokemon - drugs

* Dr. Mario Pills - downers

* Maple Leaves - cannabis

* Coca-cola - cocaine

* Female Hero - heroine

As disappointing as it may sound, the money you earn for completing routine assignments is next to useless. It's possible to scrape by on mission pay. However, if your goal is to move ahead in the money department, you'll need to start trading Pokemon. Of course, this means trading drugs.

Six types of Pokemon can be traded for currency, with some being more valuable than others.

Just going about your day-to-day activities in the city will result in emails alerting you to bargains on assorted Pokemon, either at prices you can't refuse or from desperate customers eager to pay astronomical sums. You can make a lot of money with these email offerings if you act quickly.

It's typical to get an offer to acquire maple leaves and Dr. Mario pills at great prices. Unfortunately, the real money is on other types of Pokemon, especially the Coca-Cola and female hero.

You'll realize pretty quickly that it's hardly worth your time to trade lower-tier Pokemons, as even the finest deals will get you only a few thousand at most.

Keep an eye out for bargains on a female hero and Coca-Cola, and keep it until you get a notification from a desperate customer. If you make a smart trade, you might make almost $50,000.

In order to amass a sizable Pokemon collection, spending thousands of dollars on them is well worth it. When you locate a buyer willing to pay a premium price, then it's the perfect time to unload your stockpile all at once.

Grab Some Odd Job

There's a lot of fun and enjoyment when you agree to do some odd jobs. Below are some of them:

* Paramedic - you can get this by hopping into an ambulance. You can find plenty of them around hospitals.

* Vigilante - to get this job, just hop into a police car. Of course, they usually hang around police stations.

* Taxi Driver - just hop into any taxi you can find.

* Noodle Run - you can get this job in Chinese restaurants. They are typically found in Cerveza Heights and Algonquin.

You can enjoy the GTA franchise on a mobile device, thanks to Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars. As always, you'll find it even more enjoyable if you know what you are doing. Hence, don't forget about the tips and strategies mentioned above as you make your way through Liberty City.
