Touch Arcade<\/a>‘s had some time to run\/jack\/drive\/murder their way around the game a little bit, and here’s what they noticed:<\/p>\n

\u2022 The graphics are much better than they looked in the early screenshots, falling closer to the PSP version of the game than the DS version.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The plot and writing are classic GTA, which is to say decent, and gratuitously profane. In a good way!<\/p>\n

\u2022 The controls aren’t as awkward as they look. (Note: they look very awkward.)<\/p>\n

\u2022 It’s a full-fledged GTA title, with integrated minigames, hours of gameplay and an appropriately high price: $10.<\/p>\n
