OVERALL RATING:9.3/10
Gameplay: 9.5
The action is non-stop, and if you dissect the gunplay, it very much feels like an inspired, modern-day version of Contra or Metal Slug meets Smash TV. The mix is impeccably designed; conceptually, I would have had doubts. But the developers made it work and it plays beautifully.
Graphics: 9.0
The miniscule characters won't impress anyone. But the high-speed vehicles, ultra-detailed city and impressive camera work will blow your mind.
Sound: 8.9
The sound effects could have come from a 16-bit game but the musical presentation is amazing. The radio feature is back, and though none of the songs feature vocals (presumably due to file size limitations), the quality is very good. The story is presented without voice-overs (again due to limitations), but that doesn't hurt the game at all.
Difficulty: Medium
A fair challenge without any extreme parts in either direction.
Concept: 9.0
New additions, such as Rampage mode, drug dealing and improved car stealing are perfect for the DS.
Multiplayer: 9.0
Stash Dash, Defend the Base and Single/Season Race modes take the action online for extended fun. Gameplay is limited to just two players, but it rocks.
Overall: 9.3
An amazing and entrancing experience that lives up to the Grand Theft Auto name.
