Hasta La Gadget!

If Grand Theft Auto V left you eager to spend more time in Los Santos, you’ll be glad to hear that Rockstar Games is porting Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to mobile devices. Android, iOS and Windows Phone users will get to relive Carl Johnson’s early ’90s gangster saga this December, with more detailed graphics and touch-optimized controls coming to all platforms. Gamers will also get full controller support, including Made for iOS devices if you’re using iOS 7. Rockstar isn’t providing release dates and prices just yet, although the imminent launch suggests that we’ll get more details in short order.

Despite some early leaks, the vast majority of humans can’t pick up Grand Theft Auto V until tomorrow, September 17th. Fortunately for our friends at Joystiq, though, they got to do a dive deep on the latest Rockstar Games flagship in an early review. In traditional GTA fashion, “You can run the streets of a fully-realized world, steal cars, cause chaos and attempt to flee from an extraordinarily irritable police force,” Joystiq‘s Xav de Matos writes. New to the series this time around is heist missions, which task the game’s three main characters (all playable) with, well, heisting valuables from a target (think: banks, jewelry stores, et cetera).

Though De Matos generally found the game worth his time, it sounds like the narrative beats are once again hampered by poor pacing and underdeveloped, over-the-top characters. “Since GTA V features three main characters with vastly different personalities, your time is split, and the narrative isn’t given enough room to resonate,” he says. There is of course much, much more to discuss, which you’ll find in the Joystiq review, right here. We’ve also dropped five minutes of gameplay video after the break, should your fires not be stoked enough already.

Following the footsteps of its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is making its way to Android and iOS. Rockstar announced today that a special 10th Anniversary Edition of the open world Scarface / Miami Vice inspired sim will be hitting the two popular mobile platforms on December 6th for $5. This spiffed-up mobile port includes updated character models, enhanced lighting effects, improved targeting and fully customizable control options. Technical upgrades aside, we caution not to drive directly against the sun while riding a motorcycle within the game; it nearly blinded us in the original console version, so we can only imagine how harsh it will be on your fancy high-res display. Don’t say that we didn’t warn you. Move past the break for a complete list of supported devices.
