No, the message "Install complete" refers to the mandatory install the game does when you first insert it. The recommandation not to install the play disc refers to the manual install you can do for almost every 360 game via the dashboard: select the "Play game x tile and press x, there it gives you the option to install the game to hdd. Many, me included, do like to install their games, as it completely shuts down the dvd drive during gameplay and has the added benefit of faster loading in most cases.

Now you have learned this XBox function: It's neat. But just don't use it on GTA V. Having to stream all the data from one source (eg the hdd) instead of two sources (hdd and dvd) messes up the ingame streaming notably.

Hey,

I just stumbled upon the iOs version of this overlooked gem and haven't seen any talk about this here.

It's actually an surprisingly complete rendition of the original Wii game running on Iphone, highly recommended for everyone who enjoyed the original.

The level progression is a bit grindier, though, to encourage players buying in-game-currency for real money, but at least the game is completely free otherwise.

Edit: It's even more than complete, as it offers an additional restaurant. Enjoying the game.

There are things that I'm not too keen on in the game, there are a lot of side quests, which you do to earn currency to unlock vehicles, but with the ability to shift there's not much reason to buy cars, unless there are some there that you'd really love to own. While the city is full of side missions and there are a good range of them so they don't get stale, I found them to be pretty redundent around half way through the game, as the story line was s engaging and I didn't really find a need to do the side missions.

Try reducing one of the two options. For me at least, the lighting does look much better with AA switched off. Playing in 1920x1080, the jaggies are practically not an issue.

I am completely and utterly surprised about how complete a GTA experience Rockstar Leeds managed to squeeze into this cartridge. Everything you came to love about the GTA series is in there, and then some.
The drug dealing aspect , for examle, is surprisingly deep and fun, I would love to see this in future console renditions of GTA.
And I really like that they reintroduced the silly, but nonetheless entertaining, sidemissions which were ommitted from GTA IV, obviously to support the more serious and in-deep story and character development.
But in GTA:CW, they again went completely nuts the GTA:SA way and added tons of random races, rampages, sidemissions given to you by pedestrants which randomly show up on your mini map.  Unlike in GTA IV, there's a ton to do in this game besides the main storyline.
Add to this a really nice and slick presentation which I wouldn't have thought to be possible on the DS with so much more going on besides the rendering, and you have one of the best "core gamers" DS title on your hands.
Only mayor complaint would be the not-so-inspired story which, while doing the job of carrying you through the game, won't exactly provoke deeper discussion like GTA IV did, but this really doesn't distract from the fun I'm having playing this masterpiece. :)
