Ok rockstar and apple, where is it? We have all been waiting for gta Chinatown wars for iPhone for 5 months. It's the middle of January, and you said it would come out last fall? Get the game togeather and release it.

It's very frustrating that apple has so many issues with censorship. Honestly, I agree with all you said except for the cancelling part. They just CANT cancel it now, it's too far into the process. With the price, I could see it selling for from $9.99 to $19.99. I could see it releasing for $15.99 or $14.99, but yes, these are high for iPhone games. Lately, people will buy anything that has a tag that it is the real deal. I really hope this comes out w/out censorship, because that's what the public wants, but, as we've seen so far, you can't always get "the real deal" on the App Store. What a shame.

Either they are trying to figure out how to make this work money-wise, or they are fighting with Apple over censorship issues, or both. Rock Star cannot sell a full retail port of GTA for 9.99, when the same game costs between 30-40 on the PSP/DS. They simply cannot do it.

And Ive played a little of this game on the DS. Needless to say, the content of the game itself is completely unacceptable to Apple. Apple will not approve an unedited version of this game. And i am not interested in playing a watered down version, where you are buying and selling candy in replace of drugs.

Basically, this was never meant to be on the iPhone. If I were Rockstar, I would just scrap the idea of bringing this to the iPhone entirely and just move on. If Apple refuses to approve the original game & demands censored content (which is exactly what Apple will/has done) then Rock Star should respond by cancelling the game. I hope they do. It was a bad idea to begin with.

I know right?! I am very annoyed at rockstar for making us all wait. Personally I have waited since the beginning, and it's been MONTHS. I really hope it comes out this month, or the next at the latest. It's just like assassins creed 2 for iPhone. It hasn't released yet, but they said it would debut the same day as the consoles in Nov. I really want GTA:CW NOW!

umm… PS2 and PS3? You're honestly comparing THAT big jump with the jump apple made between 3G and 3GS? :S

Anyway… I think the 'smart' thing to do is to support as many generations of iPods/iPhones as possible, in case of GTA.. because not everyone owns a 3GS.. and by 'not everyone' i mean a really really small number.

If they can spare a lot of development resources, I suggest providing tweakable settings to 'enhance' the experience for the 3GS owners.. but i doubt they'll invest their time on this.

This is great! I already completed the game on DS, and I can say it is indeed a full GTA experience… Or at least a pocket sized one. Anyways!

Only bad thing is that games like Car Jack Street and Gangster is going down now : (
