Glad I came back to it, enjoyed more than on my first playthrough. It's a shame such a banger is so overlooked, guess GTA fanbase doesn't really like the top-down perspective.
Nice story, visual style and music, exciting gameplay with many cool side activities and new mechanics such as drug trades. Mini-games utilizing touch screen for little actions add more to the fun and uniqueness than they should.
I think it's a perfect example of a good mobile game. While DS and PSP don't suffer from the lack of solid titles, there aren't many good games for Android designed with touch screen and portability in mind. And the fact that people would rather play scammy cash grabs than this quality kino kind of explains why.
