    with one star a cop was already on me, another came from in front and tried to block your path, with one star easy to outrun and badge starts to flash, while it is flashing if another sees you it goes solid and chases again. be interesting when badges get higher.

    Aaah! It sounds so good but I may hold out a week or two JUST IN CASE there is a reduction. Although I doubt it..

    Been playing it for 20 mins or so. It's certainly good - but is awkward to control as usual with these sort of games on the iPhone/iPod. Walking around is easy, but turning back and running towards the screen means you can't see what is going on in front of you until the camera finally pans round. Controlling cars is done by tilting the device and using on screen pedals, haven't got the full hang of this yet. There are options to control the car other ways though

    Missions are basic, drive here, drive there, collect this, collect that, kill them etc - I've run into some bugs where my car has got stuck in scenery, also you can't seem to knock trees or lights down, you just drive right through them? Finally a mission crippling bug when some guys i was supposed to follow got stuck in the side of a car and couldn't move. Bit weird. Also the radios are good - but there is no in game speech which seems a little strange - though this would have bumped the budget up quite a bit.

    Graphically it is good, but below the level of say the PSP versions of Grand Theft Auto - one problem I do have with the graphics is that although very smooth on the 3GS here - the draw distance is low - so when driving fast, cars can sometimes just suddenly come into view without time to dodge them

    Good start though for the game and the problems I've come up with so far can easily be fixed in the future

    Yeah, I woke up this morning and TOFTTed all over my sheets, when I saw OP.
     
  18. Well I'll be damned. And I'm stuck at work. Oh well. Gonna have to wait 'til I get home to pick this one up -- but I'm definitely picking it up. $7 for a game like this is a no-brainer.

    This is right up there with games like Real Racing for me as far as the whole "Wow, I can't believe this is running on my iPhone" thing is concerned. Controls are as good (or depending on how you look at it as bad) as any virtual joystick controlled game. It really does play like a Grand Theft Auto game and I'm really impressed so far.

    I'm a few missions in, and they're really leaning hard on some Mexican gangster stereotypes to advance the plot, and the one thing I've noticed that's kind of weird is there isn't any collision detection between your car and road signs or small trees, you can just drive through them.

    Regardless, very impressive game so far, it cool selection of music from the radio stations, and I'm currently doing the delivery car sub-missions since I stole one and wanted to see how they worked!

    It is amazing to me that you can get a game like this for $7 on the App Store. That is pure insanity.
