Grand Theft Auto III, the groundbreaking video game, has been released for mobile devices.



To mark the game's 10th anniversary, Rockstar games has released a version of the game for Apple's iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and for certain Android phones and tablets.



The game, which costs £2.99 is the complete console version of the title, which was a huge hit when it was released on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox in 2001.

GTA III was a groundbreaking example of so-called 'open world' games, which allow the player to explore the environment and pick and choose their path through the game. It built on the success of a franchise that began in 1997 on the original PlayStation and on the Game Boy Colour.



Rockstar says that the mobile version of the game has better graphics than the original console version, as well as new auto-save and mission replay features.



The game was followed by several prequels, including the 1980s-set Vice City and the 1990s-based San Andreas. A full sequel, Grand Theft Auto IV, was released in 2008 and, at the time, was the UK's fastest-selling video game ever. GTA IV overhauled the game engine and adopted a more realistic look and feel.

Question: Are any of you going to get this?
 
They'd make more money if it were compatible with all mobile devices not just certain ones.

Not necessarily. Developing for additional platforms costs more money. If fewer people use those platforms it won't cover the costs.
 
I got the one on my iPod a year or so back. It was ten bucks, and the entertainment was totally worth it. Will definitely pick this up when I get money on my reloadable credit card.



EDIT:







Unfortunately the list of compatible devices is so small, mine isn't supported. Was gonna buy it. Guess I wait.
