'Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars' Released for iPhone and iPod Touch

I cant believe some people in this topic.

Chinatown Wars IS a full GTA game.
It was designed for handheld systems, and thats why it plays so well.

It has more features that any previous GTA games.
It has full 3D graphics (yes, they are 3D) that look fantastic on a small screen.

Liberty City Stories and Vice city stories were ports of a PS2 game, and didnt play nearly as well as chinatown wars.

Im not a fanboy of any system, even the psp version of this game is better than both VCS and LCS.

So, youve got a massive fully featured GTA game, on your mobile phone, for £6 and some people arent happy?!

Unbelievable, I dont know why rockstar bother sometimes

Kids today are absolutly spoilt and clueless about what makes a good game.

Move the camera behind the character, like GTA4 for example, and the controls and gameplay would fall apart on anything without a dedicated control pad.

I agree with everything you say, except the bolded part. Gangstar did it, and the controls work pretty well in my opinion. It doesn't have the depth of gameplay to make it an overall great title like GTA, but that is not due to the camera perspective.

I've loved every GTA since the 2d originals on the PC but this just doesn't do it for me. I don't think the iPhone is cut out for these kinds of games and it seems to struggle on the 3G
