Okay, so GTA Advance is basically a weird little time capsule—it’s classic top-down GTA chaos, but crammed onto the GBA. You’ve got the usual carjacking, cops chasing you in pixelated glory, and missions that somehow feel both janky and nostalgic. The map’s smaller, obviously, but they packed in alleys, shortcuts, and that same "wait, did I just run over a pedestrian?" vibe.

At first, the controls take some getting used to—tiny buttons, no analog stick—but after a few minutes, it clicks. Weirdly satisfying to pull off drive-bys with just a D-pad. Don’t expect III-level depth, but if you miss the old-school GTA feel, this one’s a solid pocket-sized crime spree.
