GTA: Chinatown Wars HD out for iPad, this is what it looks like

Wow the graphics look so much better.

Looks as if they just put a filter over it and called it "HD".

Well, it looks better than the DS version anyway... These iOS devices need more games like this!

Then I would very much consider ever getting one.

I feel like this game is going to be put out on XBLA and PSN at some point seeing how many different versions there are already.....

Forgive my ignorance, but how do you play it? I have an iPhone and the games suffer from the touchscreen "buttons" even typing is a problem (for me).

So how would you have a good control method with a driving game like this?

Knowing how the AppStore works, I predict this is going to get alot of 1-Star reviews because of their decision to release a seperate, extra-$10 version exclusively for iPad instead of just updating the preexisting iPhone version. Granted I own neither version, so no skin off my nose, but this is a marketplace where people regularly whine because they feel $1.99 is too much to pay for a game.

OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT THING

@Sally Once you go flat, you don't come back. Buttons? What are those? :)

I know, right? It's so hard to adjust to new and different control schemes. I mean, going from NES to SNES and 2 to 6 buttons. Then 8 buttons on PS and a full 10 buttons (including analog clickers) on the new consoles! And those are even before using sticks to move the character. I don't know about you guys, but I am intimidated by change. Plus it's fun to complain. Down with iOS!

I played this game on the DS, and then the iphone. It actually isn't bad, just takes a little getting used to. The interactive touch screen mini games (like hotwiring cars) also feels more "touch-y" than on the ds since you aren't using a stylus.

But yeah, these screens look sucky. Especially check out the textures in screenshot #2. You can barely read what's written in giant letters on the black awning (it says "superstar," btw). It just looks like they increased the render resolution and kept the old psp/iphone textures . . .
