Grand Theft Auto 3 Now Available for iPhone and Android

As announced, a special Anniversary Edition of Grand Theft Auto III game is now available on iOS (Apple iPhone) and Android devices.

The anniversary edition is nearly identical to the 10-year-old original game, which is widely considered to be one of the most influential games of all time. The gameplay is optimized for touch-screen devices, with resizable custom controls.

There are two major improvements from the original, too: mission retry and autosave mode, which should greatly lessen the chances of players smashing their mobile devices in frustration.

As far as compatibility goes, the game works on the iPhone 4 and 4S, 4th generation iPod touch as well as iPad 1 and 2.

The list of supported Android devices are as follows:

HTC Rezound 

LG Optimus 2x

Motorola Atrix 4G

Motorola Droid X2

Motorola Photon 4G

Samsung Galaxy R

T-Mobile G2x.

On the Android tablet front, 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 are supported.

The game is available for $4.99 in the iTunes App Store and Android Market.
