When Japan gets Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the Nintendo DS this fall, players will find that their rating board has given the game a CERO Z rating, which is the Japanese equivalent of ESRB's AO (Adults Only). That part really isn't news since a) all the other GTAs got CERO Z as well, and b) it's GTA. What's worth taking note of here is that GTA: Chinatown Wars will be the first DS game with such a rating.
