Celebrating the 10 year anniversary of GTA III, the game has been ported to iPhone, iPad and a series of Android phones.
GTA III marked a revolutionary step forward in gaming with the game receiving several game of the year awards and high praise from critics. Moving the series from a top-down camera style to camera controls more in-line with a 3rd person shooter or driving game proved to be a successful move for the series. This move helped transform the GTA series from a cult classic to a mainstream hit.
The mobile version of the game remains faithful to the 2001 original. Minor changes include the addition of touch-screen buttons and a new lick of paint with some improved graphics and character/vehicle models. There is also a new auto-save feature put in place as well as the ability to instantly restart failed missions.
The game is supported on 4th generation iPods/iPhones and both iPad 1 and 2. The App store version of the game is priced at £2.99 and can be purchased here.
The Android version is compatible with a wide range of phones, including; HTC Rezound, LG Optimus 2x, Motorola Atrix 4G, Motorola Droid X2, Motorola Photon 4G, Samsung Galaxy R and T-Mobile G2x phones, and the Acer Iconia, Asus Eee Pad Transformer, Dell Streak 7, LG Optimus Pad, Motorola Xoom Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1, Sony Tablet S and Toshiba Thrive tablets.
The game is also unofficially compatible with a variety of other Android devices including the Xperia Play. The Android version of GTA III is available for the slightly higher price of £3.23 and can be purchased from Google's digital marketplace here.
