GTA for DS? WOW!

Parents with kids who own DS might be a little cautious about this upcoming release but that will not stop Rockstar Games into making one helluva a title.

Details I have scoured shows the GTA for the DS has a dope war-esque(PDA addicts might remember that game) mini game. The drug dealing mini-game will allow the you to peddle six types of drugs around the city. You will be able to make a profile from this, and there is some brains involved, the profit you make will depend on market conditions which will be based on the area you deal and the amount of service this area receives from you regularly. full details about the drug dealing mini game here

here are some screenshots of the game:

by the looks of it there are several mini games integrated in the game and the graphics are not that bad and it seems that the developer pushed the boundaries of the DS.
The mini games that are known so far are:
Glass Breaking- perfect when you are escaping from your car when you get stuck in a body of water.
Hotwiring-perfect for those hard to jack cars.
Trash Digging-for finding something in the garbage, a gun perhaps?
Bomb Making- when you run out of molotov cocktails.
Tattoing- what gang would be without their respected ink?

Gameplay are defined by an auto-targeting system that is engaged by the R button. There is also auto-steering for when you're in a car and players can use the touch-screen to navigate the in-game PDA, which will allow you to "email, contacts, the map, a music player, GPS, and stat-tracking.

I hope that this game would be one of those games that would really mark the uniqueness of the DS as a game system.
