I've never played this game but I'm thinking of picking it up when I finished the DLC for GTA IV. What platform should I get it on and is it even worth it? I've heard mixed reviews.
I've played it on the Nintendo DS, and I'm telling you, don't bother with it. It plays very finicky on portable consoles and just doesn't feel like a GTA game to me. But that's just me, you're welcome to try it. If you have a powerful enough PC, you could just emulate it with a PSP emulator or an NDS emulator.
I have only played the game on a DS so I don't know if the game is any different on a PSP or iOS I would get the game on whatever system you own or which ever one you enjoy the most. I enjoyed the game, but I am a big GTA fan if your not sure go check out some videos on YouTube before you buy.
It's okay. There isn't really a challenge for it. It was a great game considering I was knew to the whole GTA Series. I started out my getting money from pedestrians, which the cops DIDN'T come after me for. Then I found a body-armor behind the fence in this little coldesac I was at.
I played it on my PSP and didn't really have much fun playing it. The graphics were very cartoony and the gameplay wasn't as excited as the other games in the series. I just had higher hopes because I had finished playing Liberty City Stories and then played this game. I think I have to give it another shot.
I think that the pc is the best platform to play GTA, you can aim easily using the mouse in my opinion. Plus your hands aren't that strained clutching that console since you're using a keyboard.
I hate the PSP in general, but that may be a personal preference. Definitely prefer it on Nintendo DS. Just keep in mind, since it's a portable game on a less powerful system it's not going to be as in depth or polished as a normal DS game. I still enjoy it though.
I would recommend getting it on iOS if you have an iPod/iPhone/iPad. It's an okay game, nothing too special. I found it a little lacking, but still somewhat enjoyable.
What an odd game this was for Nintendo to release. I played it for quite a while on my DS when it first came out and thought it was pretty great. Honestly, you can't fault the graphics too much, for a portable console they had to change the visual style to make it work. I wonder if they'll ever do a portable title like this for the 3DS.
That's a good point, it really is quite unlike Nintendo to release this type of game, although it wasn't as violent as other GTA games (at least you couldn't see the violence as well)

I own it on my iPod Touch and it's awesome! The controls are great and the gameplay is perfect for a portable device, if you like GTA you'll definitely like this one.
