For example you can play pickpocket, raid supermarkets and hotels, steal cars, raid banks, attack mail trains, and so on. Since you are in a big town you have many different ways to do this. As soon as you have a high standing in the criminal underworld, you are also able to sign on gangsters that join your gang. This gangsters then can be trained or equipped with weapons (for example with pistols or machine guns). Your aim is to seize the power in the underworld.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Dope Wars at none against Crime Fighter's shown. Dope Wars also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (112 vs 15). Crime Fighter's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 60%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
