Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars has been released for the iPhone, for those who want to indulge in a little Liberty City mayhem in between emails. The game is a direct port of the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP versions and costs $9.99, a little pricey for an iPhone game but much cheaper than the game console versions.

Reviews of the game have been positive, though users note it lacks some of the extras, like pedestrian speech, that make Rockstar's games so lush. Mashable reports that the game runs smoothly, and that the touch-screen controls, while not as intuitive as the buttons on the DS or PSP, are more than adequate.
