Pros
Pro Calm and minimalistic gameplay makes for a zen-like gaming experience
The game has a minimalistic approach towards audio design, visual representation, and gameplay mechanics, creating a calm, zen-like state while playing. This is great for those that do not wish to feel stressed about their gaming. A game that can be played in a relaxing manner.
Pro Good amount of content that should last the player
Eufloria has a three modes, two of them, Skirmish Arena and Dark Matter are unlocked after completing the Campaign Mode. Skirmish Arena has 8 maps to to test your skills against the AI, and Dark Matter takes certain maps from the campaign, which changes the aesthetic and increases the difficulty. The third mode is the default Relaxed Mode, this allows the player to play at their own pace.
Pro Great controls
The controls are designed for phones/tablets, so they are easy, accurate, and intuitive.
Pro Compelling events make the story interesting
The power struggle between gangs has resulted in the death of your father. You have flown from Hong Kong to avenge your father's death. The missions vary, and all could be plausible making it easy to get lost in the story.
Pro Local multiplayer is more fun than you'd think
The local multiplayer takes advantage of this open-world game in the best ways possible. You can challenge another player to different activities - including Death Races (last alive or first to the finish wins), Stash Dash (get to a delivery van first and make deliveries while the other player tries to stop you), Liberty City Survivor (1v1 battle against your opponent with many police around), and Defend the Base (co-operatively protect targets from incoming bad guys).
Pro Decent graphics
The graphics and lighting effects have been improved over the original version (on the Nintendo DS) to a point where they're good enough for modern mobile gaming.
Pro Controller support for improved controls
GTA: Chinatown Wars has built in controller support which means it is compatible with the Google Nexus Player as well as the Amazon Fire TV. This means you can play it on your phone/tablet with a Bluetooth controller, or on an Android console on the big-screen TV with a Bluetooth controller for an even more console-like feeling.
Note: not all Bluetooth controllers are supported
Cons
Con Lots of waiting around
Many portions of the game require waiting for events to unfold, even with the inclusion of a fast forward button, there will be a lot of waiting. This may not appeal to people who wish to play in short spurts of downtime, as not much will be happening when the player needs to wait on the game to finish tasks.
Con Expensive
How much for a mobile game?! Err, no thanks.
Con Controls on touchscreen are not that good
Driving can be pretty difficult with the touch screen controls, though there are two different settings, so one may work better than the other.
Con Not an original game
While not a con for everybody, this game has virtually nothing new about it. It was originally launched for the PSP (PlayStation Personal) and Nintendo DS (dual screen - new generation of GameBoy). The tutorial is borrowed from the PSP version, while it retains the mini games from the DS version.
