    Early impressions are about what I feared. Marginal controls, simply okay graphics, lots of gangster stereotypes/crappy writing, unpolished physics, smallish game world (probably with nothing to do but lame missions), and tricky cameras.

    I'd rather play GTA4 on the 50" HDTV. And on my iPhone, I'll stick with games that are actually designed with the iPhone's strengths and weaknesses kept in mind. Not half assed attempts to bring AAA console titles to a device that isn't ideal for traditional control schemes and game mechanics.

    Of course, if I hear differently as the days go on, I'm willing to try it.

    But of course! GTA CW actually had physics to the smallest objects, like traffic cones and oil barrels.... On a DS! =O

    That's... basically off topic. No one was asking about CTW, they were asking if Gang$tar is any good.

    comparing gta4 on 50" tv to WCH on iphone :confused: of course gta4 would be better/more realistic

    having this on the iphone though with some limitations, i'll take it. controls are fine, but there is room for improvement, which is good, if this is successful enough perhaps rockstar will come out with something really polished.

    Of course it changes things, if you're interested in comparing a $7 cell phone game to a $60 current-generation HDTV-friendly console game...

    I don't think he was actually comparing a 50" HDTV with an iPhone. Merely stating that such games are best left to the devices that are designed to handle them.
