They asked for help from about 8 people with setting up a promo contest and they are all guys from TA so no not really. Just a random group of strangers that helped them out

But they made you a fanboy, and now you talk about how amazing this junk is. Riiggghhhtttt?

A fanboy?

No I just really like the game because I've always wanted GTA for the iPhone but Payback couldn't cover it and this has. Seriously go look at the link I posted...I'm really not the only one.

I had hoped this game was going to be good, seeing as it was more visually attractive than Payback, and I loved payback. I go to the appstore and buy the game. Wonderful. Start playing, next thing I know, that camera does not turn with the character, wtf. From there the controls get uncomfortable, why are the conrols different for a car than for a person, for the person clicking left could mean he is going forward from his point of view and left form mine which is fine but the car is different, you actually have to drive from what is first person with the car driving in any direction (i hope you know what i mean, kinda hard to describe for me). Crashing into cars sucks, they hardly move, you stop, nothing is moving the game gets screwed up. The car physics are also screwed up, turbo is like an ice skating rink. And mission just keep popping up, no traditional going to your boss for missions, no they just randomly pop up, one after another, which i hate as i like to explore a bit of the world, find weapons, etc. Oh and weapons, why can we have only 1 weapon at a time, wtf!!!!!!!

Payback owns this, even the camera angle is better, more 3rd person-ish not top-down view or what ever its called. I was very disappointed. Maybe Rockstar will make an iphone game (maybe port chinatown wars, who knows)

Anyway, I just watched some videos of CJS. Man, those car physics are an absolute JOKE! It's friggin' bumper car city. The game SHOULD be called Bumper Car Streets.

Even the original DOS GTA 1 had WAY, WAY better physics? Why couldn't they do at least as well 10-15 years later with a MUCH more powerful device?

Seriously. The terrible physics are a dealbreaker, not to mention poorly implemented controls, lack of a map, etc.

I've been enjoying the game but it's definitely a take it or leave it game at the mo - 3 stars at best. All down to the car physics which are horrendous

Paul has recently told us that they are fixing the pinball physics and making it more realistic but it's going to take a few weeks
