GTA Released on iPhone and iPod Touch

Grand Theft Auto. Do I really need to say anything else? I have a good news for all you GTA fans out there, Grand Theft Auto : Chinatown Wars is now available on iPhone or iPod touch.

It is almost like the original GTA from Nintendo DS and Sony PSP with a top-down perspective of the first two GTA games. And although the game costs a steep $9.99, it's still cheaper than what is was on the DS or PSP, where it debuted at $34.99 and $39.99, respectively. The touchscreen controls work well and the level of graphical quality lands between that of the Nintendo DS and PSP versions.

So far that game has a pretty positive reception, it has reveived 40 ratings and an average of 4.5 stars. App Store user Puese gave it five stars and said: “The polish on this is over the top. We have come a long way from only having snake on your phone as a game.” However, marcosrdz gave it only one star, saying that it crashes a few seconds after displaying the terms of service screen. Some players say that it lacks a few minor features of the DS version — for example, pedestrian speech has been removed, presumably to reduce the size of the download.
