Graphics are nicely done Controls work well Overall structure is perfectly suited for a handheld Story and mission design is excellent A blast to play even when you’re doing nothing at all productive.
The editors didn't like
Atrocious dialog
Lackluster lockon aiming
Writing is a cut below what wed expect from GTA.

Utilizes dualscreens well, Huge scale, tons to do, Imaginative and exciting missions, Smooth control scheme, Brilliant features, including PDA, GPS system and multiplayer
Abstract: So how exactly does GTA IV fit on DS? I tried to put my copy in my DS, but damnit, the disc just doesn’t fit in the cart slot. There’s not even an option to snap it up and shove it in every available hole because, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t...
