'Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars' Released in US

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars was finally released into the Apple App Store yesterday evening. As far as the graphical quality is concerned this game for iPhone lies somewhere between the DS and PSP versions but if u take pure GTA gameplay into concern, everything seems to be intact.

Liberty City in motion on the iPhone is amazing, and all the jagged edges in the screenshots quickly fade away when you're racing down a street, under elevated train tracks, and through alleys as you escape the police. The realtime clock in-game also changes the lighting of the city, shifting from the orange glow of a sunset to the street lights turning on at night. It really looks awesome.
