Though Phantom Hourglass is great, GTA definitely beats it. GTA has loads and loads of content, a huge, super-explorable city, great graphics, extremely smooth gameplay, and frenetic, dynamic multiplayer. Add to that a 12-hour+ story packed with laughs and we have a winner.
They're so very different. I think it would depend on which genre you like more. But personally I didn't like Phantom Hourglass that much for reasons I can't say due to possible spoilage. Let's just say I found having to do certain things repetitive and boring. And if it wasn't for that, I would've enjoyed the game much more.
You kinda need both, dude. That's two awesome games every DS owner should play. If there's no way to go with both, just choose what genre you'd rather play, since these two games are very different.
Do yourself a favor dude and just get both of 'em, they're really awsome games that any DS owner should have...If you really can only get one of them then it comes down to personal taste because both are hugeand very enjoyable games that fit perfectly for the system..
Thought it may be important to point out I'm left handed. Will that make a difference?

That won't matter you can choose in Phantom Hourglass left-hand mode. Plus it is very user-friendly stylus controls make it great, also the WFC game they have pretty fun to pass the time.
yes, there are way better games on DS then those two the games aint bad but not that great either
Chinatown Wars is the highest rated DS game. Zelda scored 9.0 on Gamespot. That is what I call great.
and? I dont need to agree with gamespot
before I write my list on better games I should note I am kinda biasedon GTA since I hate the whole series (except vice city)
short list on better games: ninja gaiden (WAY better gameplay then both the games) final fantasy echoes of time (If you got friends to play with) any of the final fantasy games (if you like JRPG) Kingdom hearts 358 /2 days (WAY better gameplay and story)
lets not forget tingle's rosy rupeeland ^^
and one thing ALL these games share: it dont force me to return to the same badly designed temple 6 times OR make me sail around the world

That is what you think. Most of the people that played GTA or Zelda liked them.
strong words from someone named barbie boy AND phantom hourglass is fun but unlike chinatown wars after you beat it once its not that much fun anymore with gta you can play forever and it will still be fun the upside with PH is its a freakin zelda game it has to be fantastic!
two completely different types of games, comparing apples to oranges.
they both have a buttload of gameplay, but chinatown wars has a lot more replay value in my opinion. based on that alone, i'd rather get chinatown wars.
phantom hourglass had a very polar reception; people seemed to either really hate it or really love it. i really loved it. but i have both games, so it's hard for me to really get a good gauge. i'd say go with chinatown wars.
