This marks one of the first times the iPhone has been targeted as a serious gaming platform by somebody other than Gameloft or EA. It's the first time a big game that has appeared on other platforms is showing up on the iPhone, and at a $9.99 price point, significantly lower than the other platforms. I personally plan on picking it up in due time. Anybody else?

Interested in seeing how Rockstar pulled off the controls. And I hear the graphics are between the PSP and DS levels.

i have heard it was great too. the quality doesn't really capture what i thought it would be but everyone that i have seen gave it a 3 star or above. whoever gets it tell me about it because i need to know if i should get it or not.
Let's go Redmen!

My quick review for GTA CW on the iPhone:

I've killed my battery on the iPhone half way through the day at work 4 out of 5 days this week.

I still haven't picked it up yet. But I hear pedestrian chatter is absent, which is very disappointing. Obviously, I still plan on buying it. These high words reinforce that.

It’s very good. The steering is a bit fussy at best, but otherwise they’ve done an excellent job of porting it.
