    Yeah this game actually FEELS like a Grand Theft Auto. When I'm cruising through the city in Gangstar, I just don't get that feeling for some reason. Even in Car Jack Streets or Payback. In this it gives me the console like experience. Not sure why though, but it's a good thing.

    Could someone shed some light on how much (or, fingers crossed, little) this drains the battery? Please and thank you!

    Just like the PC version of GTA: IV, you gotta hold the button instead of just tap it, or else you steal it >_>

    The file size is a lie, it's actually 620+mb, and I highly doubt you can compress 620mb into 188mb, but iono, I don't see any of the other big apps doing this so it kinda ticks me off, but I'll get over it :p

    ...he just told you the compressed size is 188MB, it's not speculation.

    I just have a few questions, maybe they have been answered but I don't have the time to read 75 pages.

    First, is the targetting system automatic now?
    Second, how do I change the radio station while driving?

    Thanks.

    188 megabytes is the download size, it has been compressed from whatever it takes up on the iDevice.

    No speculation, all of the big name companies do it,

    I remember people getting ticked off at Gameloft because their games require more than the size listed in iTunes. I remember saying:
    "These companies do you the favour of compressing their games to save you bandwidth, and all you do is complain?

    COD: Zombies was even compressed to 16mb!

    /rant :rolleyes:
