Great game for its equally great price.

I don't understand all of the negativity towards this game. Especially about the graphics. IT'S GAME BOY ADVANCE!!!! I'm surprised they were able to make an open world as big as it is on the GBA.
This game has the third-person, top-down perspective of GTA and GTA2. The game boasts quite a selection of vehicles, ranging from little Mini-Coopers to Monster Trucks and busses. There is a twisting story, with its cartoony, predictable, cheesiness adding to the whole experience.
About the graphics: They are not about realism this time around but instead look very much like you're watching a cartoon. The city feels very alive, with people yelling, fighting, and even stealing each others' vehicles!
The few problems I do have with this game are: The frame rates (They're not unbearable but it sometimes detracts from the OVERALL experience) and the difficulty controlling a car (The car physics aren't the best and it's easy to run into other cars). But other than this, it's a great game, especially since it's really cheap now.
