The critically acclaimed Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is now available for the newest addition to the Apple family, with Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars HD for the Apple iPad, available now from the App Store for $9.99.

With more than 50 missions plus countless side activities, as well as intuitive Multi Touch user interface controls, adjusted difficulty levels and the iTunes customizable radio station Independence Radio, Chinatown Wars HD offers a deep, fast-paced adventure for fans of the Grand Theft Auto series on Apple's iPad.

Check out a few screenshots from Chinatown Wars HD below that show off the enhanced graphics, higher polygon count vehicle and building models, and enhanced lighting and explosion effects that maximize the 1024 by 768 high-resolution touch screen on the iPad.

Headlights shine as the LCPD give chase.

The sniper rifle slots together with a satisfying click, ready for action.

The detail in each cutscene is rendered beautifully in HD.

Use the on-screen controls to wield the flamethrower with precision.

For maximum chaos, try deploying the tank.

I would love to see Chinatown Wars as a DLC for GTA IV in the PS3.

Sooooo when does GTA 3 HD come out? I think the trilogy getting the HD treatment would do very well.

R* - i think its way overdue for a Social Club App!!!..for both Android Market and iPhone App Store of course! The most important features of S.C. should be in it including the ChatterBox live stream! that way us fans that like to stay up to date with all available resources can always be in the know! Multiplayer Events can get a bit crazy trying to go back and forth from computer to console to see whats next. A phone app is a great solution because u always have it on you and it wouldn't be tying up your internet connection speeds!!!! R* PLEASE CONSIDER!!! apparently yall have a bada** app developer so get him on this!!!!!!!!
