Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
Last August, Rockstar announced that it would be bringing Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars to the iPhone OS. Today is the day, as the game is now available on iTunes AppStore for a price of $9.99. One nice update will be a different screen resolution than the PSP or DS, as it can be presented in the iPhone’s native 480 x 320 resolution graphics. Also, touch controls will be the norm and Independence Radio is introduced, which is a custom iTunes playlist station controlled by the user. Check out the screens below or head over to iTunes to grab the game.
