    Yeh, a co-op mode would be fantastic, but like you said, I don't know if that would be possible to do in an already very ambitious game, but it is Gameloft, and I was amazed that they were able to create a 3-D GTA for the iPhone - but, they did. :)

    Here is another video of Gang$tar.
    The video really shows how ambitious this game is (take a look at how big the map is at 42 seconds in, the use of the accelerometer for driving, and a few other awesome features.

    (Warning! - The video's audio track does contain some bad language)

    If it's more than a dollar I'm not buying it. :D

    In fact, it's not worth the dollar. It should be free.

    We can all hope.
    But if it takes another week or two after that, I won't be that bothered - since they're probably adding an extra little polish to the game.

    Judging by the fact that it utilises the iPod playlist "radio station" 3.0 feature, I would guess that it would only be available for 3.0 - unless they make an update / different version that allows 2.2, but doesn't have 3.0 features built in.

    I was surprised by the size of the map too.
    It's great that it's so expansive.

    I'm not absolutely sure, but I guess that if Gameloft wanted to make as much money as possible, they would get the game to work on 2.2 as well, and just scrap the iPod playlist feature.

    Looking at the video carefully, I noticed that the game menu says: "Gang$tar 2: Kings of L.A. - I thought the game was called Gang$tar: West Coast Hustle

    I realise that Gang$tar 2: Kings of L.A. is a real game, but I thought that it was on other smartphones, and that West Coast Hustle was an original game for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

    Could someone please clear this up for me?

    Not sure what this means but looking at the gameloft website it says that there have already been 2 mobile gangstar games the second one called this. Maybe in an early version of this game they decided to name it that as to say it was an alternative version

    Yeh, I prefer "West Coast Hustle" too.

    I just had a thought that it may be to do with the localisation.
    In the english version it says: "West Coast Hustle", and in the foreign video, it says: "Kings of L.A."

    Just a thought.
