Grand Theft Auto III - Sony Tablet S - Review

A surprise and a delight. The king of open world crime returns in a solid release, ready to take over your mobile device!

Not so long ago, Rockstar Games announced that GTA3 was going to be re-released as a mobile title for it's 10th anniversary. As quickly as it was announced, it was out on the digital market. I believe what surprised us the most was that it was the "complete" game as opposed to a scaled down, mobile experience.

All of the missions, music, characters and radio stations remain intact. Everything is here. Included are some impressive touch controls which where a big concern, that is until you've played it.

This game is simply amazing. It plays awesome. Liberty City is completely intact. Graphics have been polished, smoothed and converted to HD. As I mentioned, all of the music stations are here. There is such a simple joy cruising around the city in a stolen ride, and exploring the massive space of Liberty City with a ton of music at your disposal. All of the game's voice work has also survived it's mobile conversion. Rockstar spared no expence and this release is a true celebration of the classic.

I was a huge fan of the original 2D GTA games. So it was such a delight to play Chinatown Wars on my iPod Touch. However, I am even more delighted to play a full 3D GTA title on mobile devices. We thought it was impossible. Rockstar proved us wrong.

Once again, Rockstar Games releases a triple-A experience for all of us to enjoy. GTA3 is out now on the latest Android and iOS devices, for only $4.99!

Happy 10th anniversary Grand Theft Auto III! You've never looked better!
