GTA-like Payback out

[Watabou]

Only in the Australian Store, according to TouchArcade but hopefully, it will be released in the US Store too. Wonder why the Australians got it first...

Yeah, no offense meant to any Australians, but aren't they notorious for banning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_banned_video_games#Australia) games like this anyway?

Because they are ahead of us (time wise)

Does that mean they had a release date?

Ya, 1/28. It'll be out in the US around midnight (the question is... what time zone). It's out in the UK also.

[Watabou]

Well it seems Payback has hit the US Store. I'll wait for some reviews to come in before I pounce on it :)

[iParis]

Doesn't look half bad. I'm surprised it's not more expensive, well the price may go up depending on how many people download it and the reviews it gets.

[laprej]

Hmm looks pretty hot -- I'll wait until I see at least one review, though!

[sunfast]

Been looking forward to this! Shame there's no wifi here - will have to wait until I get home to buy it, massive game though :)

[spyker3292]

Wow, it's the most in depth game I've seen, and it's full of production quality (even has voice acting!). I love it :D.

I'm about to download it but has anyone played it yet? Thoughts?

This game is awesome. The graphics are great, the missions are fun, and nothing beats just running around causing mayhem in a city. The driving controls took a little while to get used to, but now I can zoom around the city using the handbrake around turns. I even found a tank within my first hour of playing. It was on the first level under rampage on the average setting. I found it in the back corner of a parking lot right across the street from the pay phone you have to answer. I can't wait to find some more secrets... Anyone still on the fence about this game, if you know you like games like this, don't hesitate. This game is awesome, best iPhone game, period. :D

Well I downloaded it and its not bad but I don't think its the best app game. Its really hard to steel the car and guy. But I just downloaded dh bowling and that game is bangin.

Hard to steal? Just walk in front of some cars and hit enter.

He/she meant "steer."

we are anxious for this release. coming from old time gta fans back when voodoo 3d was needed or a good glide wrapper, this game looks to really drop nostalgia on my gaming.

touchmyapps is excited (http://www.touchmyapps.com/2009/01/27/payback-release-imminent/#more-4396)

Ohhhhh, that makes more sense. I actually think the controls are nice. Just not perfect.

Stop waiting, cause you know it's out right?

[deenybird]

the game is a lot of fun. Thankfully you dont use the accelerometer to move, only look. For such a large file the startup and level load times are relatively short.
Overall I recommend.

[shigzeo]

well, our review is up. this is the game we are waiting for! who is we by the way? indeed, great game!

here is the review (http://www.touchmyapps.com/2009/01/28/payback-in-review-great-expectations/).

Well... have you tried the obvious steps? Restart and reinstall?

[TheZimm]

Great game. It;'s really quite massive though. It wouldn't let me download it with wifi to my touch though =/ so I had to go walk over to my mac =]

[Bernie-Mac]

All it does is crash for me. Restarted, reinstalled, freed memory via the app in the app store and no dice
