    iPhone GTA at night.
    Just for the sake of comparison (although I agree with squarezero that both graphics are great, there is little difference between them and they both do the job well).

    hardware older than iPhone 3GS and Touch 3G doesn't have shaders (and those make PSP look so "ultra next gen" - see nighttime lights)

    also the screen of never versions of PSP is better... it's not like total revolution, but it is a bit more contrast and is brighter

    iPhone/iPod Touch: 480 x 320 pixels, 3.5 inch screen
    PSP: 480 x 272 pixels, 4.3 inch screen
    PSP Go: 480 x 272 pixels, 3.8 inch screen

    These are the native res, the game res is probably relatively much higher on the iPhone.

    I don't see dynamic shadows in either version.

    Apparently after every mission the PSP version takes about 20 seconds to autosave.

    Plus there's a ton of draw-in at high speeds.

    when you finish all the missions in the game, two lion statues will appear in the city. they will be on 2 of the 21 white spots, find them both and you'll unlock extra after missions

    I meant the physical device, not the screen.

    'draw-in'?

    You mean the graphics haven't rendered fully?

    Listen bro, there's this amazing dude, Drelbs, on the forums. I asked him to send me a code for 10 dollar iTunes gift Card in exchange of some money from my PayPal account. So i sent him the money from my PayPal, he sent me the code after a very short time, then you have to view your account in ITunes and change the country to USA. Then you'll understand what to do next lol. Then buy the game from the US App Store and voila there you go!
    If you have any problems write bro i'll help.
    P.S. And hey no worries for your money Drelbs is 10000% legit and is really friendly, besides he is one of the most respected members on the forum!

    Yup. Watch IGN's review of it, and it shows the 20 second save times after missions, and shadows/minor parts of structures like on a bridge appear.

    And shadows on the PSP affect your car and character. Like if you were halfway driven under a building's shadow it would affect that half of the car.

    Anybody feel like helping?
    I've found the taxis, the buses, the pool, the basketball courts... But is there any place where I can find a cop car I could get into?
    Or a even a boat/helicopter?

    No helicopters.

    Chances are you'll find boats in the water.
