The following Nintendo DS games are non-linear by design, where the player is free to enjoy diversions or explore the world without much restriction.
I noticed there weren’t many known free roam open-world sandbox games on the NDS so I decided to put together a succinct yet comprehensive listing of the 10 best titles of the genre analyzing the details of each game given in a concise manner.
I’ve numerically listed each game in my ranking of the titles but all-around sandbox design rules over actual overall value in this matter.
00:00 – The Sims 3
00:58 – Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol
01:53 – Jackass: The Game
02:50 – Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain
04:08 – Lost in Blue 2
06:26 – Rune Factory 3
07:37 – Car Jack Streets
08:11 – Transformers: Decepticons
09:48 – GTA: Chinatown Wars
11:13 – C.O.P. The Recruit .

I remember playing Fighting Fantasy when I accedentally came across a fish weapon (i forgot the name) and I can't believe powerful it was lol.
It's a shame I've never heard of most of those games at the times
transformers decepticons was the first video game i ever played, it was a gift for getting my tonsils taken out. Loved that game.
bro i felt like the ds could’ve run gta vice city and liberty city look at cop the recruit on ds ????
Car jack streets is one of the worst things ever lmaoooo
Man, Transformers Decepticons is My Childhood
I knew the first Transformers Ds games would be on this list. Wouldn’t be a complete list without those two games. I never exactly got to play as many Transformer games as I wish I could on console, so im glad to have Decepticons DS on emulator.
Cop The Recruit and Car Jack seem like decent open world DS games actually.
The ragdoll capable engine of jackass the game still blow my mind
Bruh how the fuck did they get a free roaming TPS running at 60fps on what is a essentially a portable ps1?
Chinatown Wars is my favorite, but I might give COP a shot one day.
Wow what a great list! you made me discover a lot of great games! thank you!
Why did you put music from the game Ironfall for the 3DS to Runefactory 3?
Car Jack Streets remind me of some other game..
I think it's named Grandiose Car thief or something like that.
7:36 wait there is gta game on nds that isnt gta chinatown wars wtf???
9:49
What’s that OST tho
Fighting Fantasy is one of the best games on the DS, and easily one of my favorite games in general. Absolutely spectacular game if you like old-school FPP RPGs like Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, Anvil of Dawn, Dungeon Master, Witchaven, Lands of Lore 3, etc.
Miami night are open world too
I play the sims 3and 4 in pc bored
Fighting Fantasy was amazing. Highly recommended!
Rune Factory 3 is such a Banger
Aaaaah, GTA : Chinatown … Now that's a lot of memories …
Thanks!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 I didn't know the Car Jack Streets!
