No specific features were named for the upgraded version, though we can expect improved graphics and virtual controls that occupy less of the screen space. Feder said that the iPad port will be available "later this month."

"I have it for my Iphone, It's not super good because of the touch screen controls. I'd enjoy it more on a DS System or PSP."
Pretty much could be said regarding 90% of all iPhone games. Doesn't matter though, as iPhone games are selling like gangbusters.... and being played an average of 3 times.

I really, really enjoyed the PSP version - and definitely think it takes better to physical controls, like most games, but I don't see how more options is a bad thing. Sure it takes more development time, but it also gives developers more funds for new games. Works out in the end.

now that the hype is over
*looks around*
pretty good game. fantastic variety and arcade style missions.
Absolutely no atmosphere, lousy soundtrack and vehicles.
Graphics are great though.
Fun spin off, but no "Chinatown stories" as i prefer the 3D ones.

without the nifty touch controls (mini hot wiring games are fun), i'm not sure if it would have even been that fun for PSP owners (given their expectations of a gta psp)

Yay! The little GTA that couldn't sell on anything else gets ported to another platform to be ignored!
R* at the rate they are going with this game may end up being more ported than many Capcom games and if they try hard enough may contend with Doom and Tetris as most ported games!

Wow. I wonder how it will look using the full resolution of the ipad. I must see screens!

Tried out the iPhone trial and wasn't surprised that the controls were awful, though it made me want to get the game for the PSP to see how it is with competent controls.

Controlling cars on the iPhone was like trying to steer with a toothpick duct taped to your nose.
