    What about reflections? It doesn't look like they are there from screenshots.

    Agreed reflections and shadows from the PSP version appear absent in the screen shots.

    God, I'm getting so tired of rebuying old iPhone games for my iPad, but I swear such titles make up more than half of my game library. Nevertheless, here I am again buying a game which I barely played on the iPhone. To be fair, I think it will be much better on the bigger screen. I will share impressions shortly.

    Put in about thirty minutes so far and I am impressed. It looks really polished making it cleaner over the 2x iPhone version. Controls are excellent and it just feels more epic with the larger screen.

    Same here. I have finished at about 70% with the iPhone version but I'm happy to be starting with this again for this version. Just drop dead gorgeous.

    Hmmm. Not very smooth for me, especially if there's smoke visible. Have to get into the options and see if some gfx settings can be lowered.

    Otherwise it looks like it should be a lot of fun. Again (played through the iPhone version once).

    Believe me they are there. Even if it doesn't look like it in the screens.

    I dont see the PSP shadows.

    There are baked in shadows under cars, but no realtime shadows from anything so far.

    I am also having an issue with no sound during gameplay. I just restarted my iPad to see if it works.

    No problems here. This is the most polished iPad game I've played apart from geometry wars and chaos rings. Good job by rockstar.

    Still struggling with the driving controls, but so far the game seems great.

    Yeah the shadows are there, a little on the light side. This is much more enjoyable than the psp version with the big screen and nice graphics...makes a big difference, though the physical controls are better, but I'm starting to get used to driving with the touch controls. Rockstar did a great job on the iPad version.

    I really hope they update the iPhone version for retina display. It would give me a good reason to play it all over again.

    I think that the graphics look more cartoony on the HD version opposed to the iPhone one. Maybe it's because it's on a bigger screen and everything's generally enlarged.
