    Uhh..I'm pretty sure GTA won't be on that calendar..it's too high profile and just came out. Navy Patrol is the first free game.

    Hooray for sanity. And good taste.

    But don't forget this game was shoehorned into the DS and the PSP to begin with.

    Both sanity and good taste are overrated. This game isn't. ;)

    I already got the psp version but i'm thinking of picking this one up as well. Now I can leave my psp at home and still get to play my GTA CTW how awesome is that :)

    Hm. I'd reccommend it over the DS version.

    I'm still trying to think of a reason to repurchase this title; I've already beaten it via the DS. Yes I will admit for anyone who hasn't played it it's TOTALLY worth $10+; but for the ones(like me) who already done and beaten it-what's the difference(besides better graphics) between the two?

    Weird thing is that I played some hours when released in DS and in PSP but now is when I buy the game. I guess I like a lot more my Itouch. I hope this one get a lots of sales and Rockstar decides to make a GTA with iPhone in mind

    The graphics look slight worse than the PSP version, a couple of jagged lines here and there but it definitely doesn't take away the GTA experience.

    I'm sure this game is just fine. I'm even mildly tempted to get it and there's a good chance I might at some point. I just can't get excited about yet another GTA game. Particularly a port. Particularly as the whole series has been at an utter stand-still since Vice City (and has even taken some significant steps backwards.) But hey, I am just cynical and jaded. Enjoy the game by all means, I'm sure it's quite solid.

    Alright so I'm still undecided about this..I mean, it is GTA..but at the same time something feels like it's lacking. This may be just me being weird, but the lack of detail in the icon, the rather short summary of gameplay, kind of bothers me. The graphics look alright..I was hoping they'd be better but I'm sure there's a reason. Anyways Idk, maybe I just need to sleep on it.

    The only thing I dislike is the icon.

    The graphics look much better in person.

    If you like these types of games, you are doing yourself a disservice by not buying it.

    Big GTA fan here, played all the home console/PC ones up to and including GTA IV, this was a no-brainer purchase. Played for about 15 minutes so far, and on my 3G it looks very nice. On the whole very it's smooth (couple of minor frame stutters here and there) and it all feels like a GTA game (as you'd expect!).

    I'll see how the rest of the game goes, but so far no regrets forking out $10.

    This off topic conversation is moot. Please get back on topic and show each other mutual respect:)

    Damn, I've been beaten. Had that in mind, too.

    Oh - and ever heard of the Triads, johnwhine? They are a little more gangstarous gangstas than your ganstas. Uberganstas, that is. Comparing Bellics gang to the Triads is like comparing the population of Jamaika to the United States. But it's nice to hear that you won't buy the game. I have a feeling that it would be a waste on you. :p :D
