    Hey rich! I've missed you. How's this game treating you? I'm still pondering on whether to buy it or not. I'm sure this isn't going to drop in price anytime soon. My only worry is how the graphics look kinda ehh on the screenshots.

    I actually cannot believe people are complaining about either the price or the fact it's a port. Firstly, R* could very very VERY easily have priced this at $20-$30 and single-handedly created a new price point for premium games. They are one of a handful of developers that are big enough in terms of mindshare to be able to do whatever they want and people will run with it. So be thankful they chose to follow the unofficial pricing guidelines.

    And second, yes it's a port. But you're playing freaking GTA on a PHONE (or an MP3/4 player). My first phone couldn't do text messaging. My first MP3 player had 32mb of storage. We're talking 10-12 years ago here. Personally, every day this device blows me away, and the fact we're getting a full-featured GOTY port at cheaper than preowned is just astonishing.

    So all in all, quit complaining. If you wouldn't have bought this game on DS or PSP, even at this price point, why are you posting here? If you don't want to pay $10 for a game with the same development budget as every other App put together, why are you posting here? We get it, you don't like GTA, or you're a cheap SOB. Go find a thread about the Sky Mobile TV app and complain about getting every televised Premiership game for £6/m.

    Wow this is a big app, haha. I had to delete pretty much all my other games just to install it, freed up around 800+mb, and it left 207 after it finished.

    Well, I didn't play those games anyways.

    just to clear some stuff out, the screenshots have nothing to do with the real quality of the graphics ingame. I have no clue what happened to those but they indeed look horrible and not even close to "reality".

    Can anyone confirm that this version has the extra content that the psp got? It's missions to do with 'melanie story' I think.

    Love the game so far. It's perfect.

    In My Head
    Been playing all night, so far this might be single handedly one of the best games on the app store. It's a FULL game and now I think people might be joking about the price complaints, if your a fan of GTA and don't buy this because of the "High price", then I just laugh @ u... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA :p
