About the Author
I WISH the Droid X2 was compatible, but for some reason, the Android Market stubbornly insists that my X2 is NOT compatible with GTA 3. But, for some reason, it decides that my previous phone, an ARM6 500mhz single-core LG Vortex with limited memory, IS compatible with GTA 3.
Plus, with the 400mb download, your 15-minute window to get a refund is pretty much rendered moot.
I downloaded earlier this morning only to get an immediate FC on my Galaxy Nexus. A user in the Market stated it was working fine on his GN.
Maybe it is hit and Miss with the Nexus. as Rockstar did stat it was Coming soon to the Galaxy Nexus. or that guy is shooting BS in the reviews. I hear that does happen from time to time
i can’t find it on the android market anymore. i saw it there just after it came out and then i wake up to search for it again and its been taken off.
SO WHEN IS IT GOING TO WORK FOR DROID3??????
