please be 3d 3rd person with the ability to switch to topdown, cause 2 views are bette than one.

GTA Advance is for all normal gta players there already anyways.

I think 3d would be nice, but i doubt that the producers of the game would spend the time making a 3d game that pushes the ds hardware to the max and allows the 3d to look somewhat good. The first Sims ds game didn't have bad graphics and something like that wouldn't be bad but if it turns out like brothers in arms ds this game would suck.

Guess we will have to see how it turns out. If they did do a 2d top view kind of game it wouldn't be bad as long as it looks and plays nice.
