Default GTA San Andreas Added to iTunes Store this Morning

Downloading it now. I am one of the many who think it was by far the best Grand Theft Auto Game made. It had awesome gameplay, the story was amazing, and the voice acting was the best in the series.

Cost is $6.99

If it's anything like the other 2, I'll be in love. These are some of my favourite iOS games. The missions break off nicely into mini games, making it the ultimate bathroom game.

This was the most impressive of the first 3 games, but I'll admit I disliked the characters a lot in this one. Despite being a lover of profanity, I found the N bombs in it to be so frequent that it bothered me. I noticed in GTA V of course, but with the other 2 characters it wasn't so in your face all the time.

I downloaded it this morning as well, haven't played yet though

The GTA III and Vice City ports are done very well, and this one is supposed to be the best version of San Andreas yet with updated graphics and lighting, shorter load times, better draw distance and CJ actually has fingers instead of the creepy clubs he had before haha

So I've played about an hour or so, and it's a lot of fun. The updated graphics and lighting is very noticable, huge difference from the original

Lots of menus have been updated, like when you're getting a different haircut, tattoo or clothes. They must have really worked on the color palette because everything seems much brighter and clean. I'm really impressed with how everything looks, I've seen small details I never could before because of how sharp it is now

The best part so far is that they added a checkpoint system for missions, that's huge. I remember there being some extremely frustrating missions in this game, and I don't want to be driving from the hospital to a mission every time I fail on an iPad/iPhone game

Controls are better than I expected, but still touch screen controls for a game like this will never be perfect. There's apparently lots of options for customizing them to your liking and support for any iPad/iPhone controller so controls aren't an issue

With cloud saving connected to your Rockstar account for cross-saves between all your devices on top of all this, I'm thinking this will be the best $7 I've ever spent

Thanks, ya I got er on Friday. Some impressive upgrades over their Vice City app last year. Touch screen driving will always be rough, but it's not nearly as infuriating as VC. Love the mission checkpoints too, it was badly needed.
