As is the way with most iPhone releases, Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto (http://kotaku.com/tag/grandtheftauto/): Chinatown Wars (http://kotaku.com/tag/chinatownwars/) has been set loose upon the App Store (http://kotaku.com/5349427/chinatown-wars-and-beaterator-coming-to-iphone) with absolutely zero warning or pre-emptive fanfare.
One moment, we're busy getting on with our weekends, the next, we simply receive word that it's out. Early reports say that the game is as faithful a reproduction of the DS/PSP game as you could expect on Apple's handheld, with even the DS version's touch-screen minigames making the jump to the iPhone/iPod Touch version.
The game controls like most other iPhone ports - there's a fake thumbstick and buttons arrayed on the touch screen - and you can check out a video above to see how it runs.
