Rockstar Game Tips: Hot to the Touch with "Jackin' Chan" (Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars - iPhone/iPod Touch)
Posted: March 19, 2010 12:40PM | Author: R* Y
(The Triads, mobilizing to take down the Irish mobsters that have kidnapped Master Chan...)
Hot on the heels of our recent Fingering Vehicular Sabotage walkthrough guide stepping you through the mission “Pimp His Ride” in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for iPhone and iPod touch – today we keep on with another of Huang Lee's more challenging mission escapades.
The mission "Jackin' Chan" tasks Huang with saving Chan Jaoming from the Irish mobsters that have kidnapped him. When you arrive at Chan's garage, a Triad tells Huang to head to the docks in BOABO to rescue Chan. After you’ve driven to the blip on the radar, Huang sees that the Triads have cornered the mobsters. This doesn't last for long though once the mobsters toss a molotov to set all of the Triad vehicles ablaze, including the one Chan is inside.
(Chan might want to turn on the AC until Huang can figure something out...)
A timer with a blue meter appears on the left side of the screen. Quickly drive to the blip on the radar and get in the fire truck. Drive back to the docks and ease up close to the fiery vehicles. On the touchscreen, hold the H2O button, moving your finger to aim the water hose and put out the fires. There's an unlimited amount of water but not an unlimited amount of time, so keep a close eye on the timer as you must extinguish everything before it expires.
(Hold and aim 'H2O' to extinguish the flames before the blue meter expires.)
Once all the fires have been put out, hop out of the fire truck, get in Chan's car and drive straight to his garage. On the way back, you'll encounter some more antagonistic Irish kidnappers. Faced with the two choices of fighting them off or outrunning them, your best bet is to flex a little evasive stunt driving. It's going to be a fairly intense chase as they'll be firing out the window at your vehicle – but don’t hesitate to ram into their car to inflict some damage. If your vehicle starts smoking, just concentrate on following the path to the garage. Stay the course, be aware of upcoming turns, and you'll get ahead enough to safely pull into Chan's garage - homefree.
(Drive to Chan's garage, but beware of the Irish kidnappers as they'll be on your tail...)
Chan isn't exactly grateful for the rescue. He blames his kidnapping on Huang, barks at him to get therapy and then calls him a narcissist. Then in true Chan Jaoming fashion, he has a little..."accident"...
(Don't worry. You don't have to use the touchscreen to help him change his pants...)

(Huang en route to do a little finger banging in the street racing champ's prized race car.)
The widely-acclaimed Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars has now swerved its way onto a triad of mobile platforms, each time bringing with it unique interactive control schemes that cater the gameplay towards the use of a stylus, an analog stick, or a touch-screen. Fooling around with the screen in the latest iPhone and iPod touch version of the game is pretty damn fun if we do say so ourselves - literally having the action of Grand Theft Auto right at your fingertips for the first time. One example of this involves a mission given to Huang Lee, the main character, by Chan Jaoming - the subject of today's tips-laded mission walkthrough.
The mission "Pimp His Ride" incorporates a range of different gameplay sequences. In the mission, Chan tells Huang that he wishes to become the next Triad boss, but that he won't accomplish the goal without the support of the powerful Tongs. Chan tasks Huang to sabotage the vehicle of a local street racing champ, believing that he can gain an advantage and impress the Tongs by winning a big upcoming race.
After starting the mission, follow the car (the blue blip on your radar), making sure to not get too close. Once you arrive at the auto shop, get out of your car and hop in the street racing champ's racing vehicle. Use the touch-screen to drag the wire into the slot on the right to connect your PDA to the car alarm - this will allow you to start the car without sounding the alarm. Once you see the four yellow numbers of alarm code appear on your PDA, work from left to right to match each digit up to the scrolling red and white numbers on the alarm. When the correct matching number comes up, tap the red and white area where the number is displayed with your finger to lock it in.
(Watch the vertical green indicator to see how much time you have left before the alarm sounds.)
With the alarm disabled, you can then drive the car back to Chan's garage. Once you're there, a collection of tools will be presented on screen so you can get to "work" on the vehicle a bit - wire cutters, a screwdriver and a hammer. Using the wire cutters, cut the wires in the upper right portion of the screen by snipping with your fingers. Next, grab the screwdriver and puncture the coolant tank with a swift poke. Third, pick up the hammer and beat the hell out of the engine by using your fingertips to do some smashing.
(This part of the mission lets you use your fingers to destroy a car using an array of tools.)
Before you close the hood and drive the car back to the auto shop, there's one last thing that you need to do in order to completely sabotage the street racing champ's racing vehicle and add insult to injury, and a pungent aroma to his air conditioning. Throw the stinky fish on the radiator and watch it grill.
(Nothing like the smell of old fish in the car as you're driving along on a sunny afternoon...)
Drive the car back to the auto shop before your time runs out, but be careful about going too fast as the modifications you made under the hood will cause the vehicle's steering to be a handful. Once you return the car, a tow truck will arrive to take it to the race where an unsuspecting street racing champ will be awaiting his baby.
This is just one of many examples of how ‘hands-on’ the experience of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is on the iPhone and iPod touch. If you have other favorite touch-screen moments from playing the game or need a helpful tip getting through a specific part – just give us a shout and let us know...
