Can anyone confirm if this is the full game, or a cut down version for iPhone?
Don’t want to spend the money and discover its only a limited game, if its the full game the value seems ok though.

Judging from the review posted on iLounge, it would appear to be the full and complete game.

Mad now. Big fan of the GTA series, but this one is NOT compatable with 1st Gen Ipod Touch. Hope this is not a sign of things to come.
