Rockstar seems to have caught iPhone/iPod Touch fever as they have just announced that along with Beaterator, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will also be making it's way to the iPhone/iPod Touch. Sadly, the version will not be releasing at the same time as the PlayStation Portable port so you'll have to wait until some time in the fall to get it. Here's to hoping that Apple won't reject the game like they have been doing to tons of awesome and useful apps.

Rockstar Games, the world-renowned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is pleased to announce that the critically acclaimed Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars from Rockstar Leeds, the winners of the 2009 Develop Award for Best Handheld Game Studio, will be making its way to the iPhone™ and iPod® touch this fall.

"Chinatown Wars is a perfect match for the iPhone and iPod touch," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "We are very excited to bring this incredibly ambitious version of Liberty City, with this level of detail and immersive gameplay on Apple's new gaming platforms."

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is currently available for the Nintendo DS™ and is also coming this fall for the PlayStation®Portable system. The game follows the story of Huang Lee, a young Triad who travels to Liberty City after the mysterious death of his father. Players will navigate their way through the streets as they uncover the truth behind an epic tale of crime and corruption within the Triad crime syndicate, delivering the unprecedented amount of depth that has become a true trademark of the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

Rockstar has just released some screen shots of the PSP version of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. While the game still features an isometric view, textures, lighting and colors have been substantially improved over it's DS counterpart.

This morning Take-Two announced that Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will be making it's way to the PSP this fall. The game has been retooled for the PSP featuring upscaled widescreen graphics, enhanced lighting, enhanced animation, and all-new story missions.
