Man am I glad I have a PSP so I can play this game proper. I would need a magnifying glass to play this game on my iPhone.

But it's good non psp/ds owners will have a third option.
 
I'm still waiting for DKC2DKS.

Check out Terminator: Salvation for the best third person controls I've used on the iPhone. Virtual stick to move, drag to aim, virtual button to shoot. I could see these working.

Also see brothers and arms it has amazing controls!
 
You could buy a 3rd party dock like thing that hooks on to the iPhone to provide physical gamepad buttons.
 
Meh. This is not traditional GTA. It has an overhead view similar to the old GTAs. It's nice to see Rockstar take interest in the platform.
Pardon me? It is traditional GTA - it is overhead.

I'm not sure what to make of this. First we have a DS version which gets the job done, it got good reviews and sold well. I don't see what the PSP and iPhone versions can bring to the table, especially considering the PSP version won't have touchscreen controls and the iPhone version won't have physical buttons.
I think I'll stick with the DS one.

you mean, it's not traditional GTA3
it is very much traditional GTA - as it is the same style as GTA, GTA2 and GTA:London.
from the few hours of the DS game that i've played, it's also full of GTA humour and for that i'll be buying it, regardless of how the graphics or the controls are

as someone else said, the PSP version is really going to seem a poor alternative without a touch-screen interface - they'll use the joystick i guess to move the cursor, but it won't be as good.
but the iPhone version could be the best of them all - not only the touch screen interface for the car hotwiring, drug finding, etc etc but also the graphics should be much crisper on the iPhone than they are on the DS's poor screen
 
Does anybody have a positive link to DS GTA: China Town wars. My search just yields negative info.

Search termin GTA: China Town War sales

TIA
 
unless i see the same graphics as vice city or san andreas.

the game will suck!

if it's beyond that like gta 4

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

i have! and i have not been satisfied in many ways! especially with metal gear touch! lol :D

the graphics in super spider monkey are nice

crow mag racing is okay.

sully's landing in the hudson river app is awesome

and many others!
 
watch them spend millions on development only for it to be rejected by apple

rockstar has a reputation for making games that raise eyebrows..and apple certainly seems to have a low tolerance for anything beyond the status quo..

Its a phone. Not an Xbox.
 
I absolutely love Chinatown Wars, I'm just not excited for the iPhone release. It's not going to be as good as the DS version and I've already played the DS version so why buy the iPhone one? The PSP one looks pretty good, but I won't get that either.

I think Rockstar was disappointed with the DS sales for the game and decided they had to release it on EVERYTHING. :D

I don't know what some of you are talking about, "this game will suck", "this isn't traditional GTA"? Wow. I guess you have never played GTA 1, 2, or Chinatown Wars.

I think it sold quite well but just didn't make them a trillion dollars like GTAIV. I hope these non-DS versions add new, compelling features (online highscores?) and it doesn't just turn out to be a flat out port of the DS version.
 
This game is probably going to get rejected by the app store until the developers remove all the blood, gore, violence, guns, prostitutes, and stealing of cars.

I have been looking for good reviews as I have every GTA since 3 on multiple consoles and PSP, however every sales link in my Google search showed negative info. I would buy the DS just for this game, but it looks iffy

What's the Hudson river app called? I've searched under Sully, Hudson and can't find anything, maybe it isn't available anymore or isn't on the European app store.

So you won't buy a game that was well recieved by critics and players (unlike GTAIV which moneyhatted their way to the top) because it didn't sell well initially? That's not a good way of looking at it. It's a very good game.

I bought it for £9 but after playing it I'd gladly pay £25. It's just hands down one of the most fun GTA games ever, and I also own all of them (not much into the story, I go for the gameplay).

Am I the only one who appreciates the dry humor of this post?
