SummaryReal Sandbox FunPros: Fun, easy to get into sandbox mayhem. Good use of touchscreen. Dialogue on par with other GTA titles. New chase system adds new levels of gameplay to the old but fun GTA equation. Immersive "drug running" minigame works well.
Cons: Lock-on gunplay has faults, but doesn't really break gameflow.

First off, cops are no longer a joke. They really want you in jail. This fixes a pet peeve that I had with GTA for a while. Cops used to be too easy to get away from, but in GTA:CW you have to be aggressive in your actions towards getting out. Tons of ways to make money and even more things to spend it on over months and months of gameplay.
I really think that if you are 18 this is a must have for a DS owner.
