Grand Theft Auto III: 10 Year Anniversary Edition Coming to iPhone and iPad Next Week

Tuesday December 6, 2011 10:59 AM PST by Jordan Golson

As previously announced, Rockstar Games' classic Grand Theft Auto III is coming to the iPhone and iPad on December 15th.

10 years ago ... the revolutionary open-world epic Grand Theft Auto III was released to the world – a game that set players loose as a small-time criminal at the bottom of the food chain in Liberty City, a sprawling metropolis where anything can happen – and probably will.

The iOS version of the game will work only on more recent devices as a result of extensive graphics hardware requirements. GTA will run on the iPad 1 & 2, iPhone 4 & 4S, and iPod touch 4th Generation.

Grand Theft Auto III: 10 Year Anniversary Edition will be available on the App Store next week for $4.99.

That's absolutely incredible. Who would have guessed 10 years ago that we'd be playing GTA3 on our PHONES?

WOW, GTA 3 on the iPad. Good luck trying to play it with your screen controls! When is Apple gonna realise that games like COD etc on iOS devices need an actual dual stick controller and that they are missing a trick by not letting the Apple TV run these apps on peoples big screen with said wireless controllers??
