Tag Games Unleashes Car Jack
Streets iPhone The highly anticipated crime-simulator debuts on App Store today
Car Jack Streets iPhone, one of
the most anticipated iPhone releases to date explodes onto App Store today,
courtesy of developer Tag Games.
Created by members of the original
Grand Theft Auto team, the title is the closest thing to the original Rockstar
franchise available on any mobile device. Utilising the iPhone’s unique features
to expand on the original crime-sim template, Car Jack Streets is one of the
most expansive titles ever released on Apple’s device.
The action-packed title follows
Randal, a hopeless gambler with a $1million debt to the mob. When crime lord
Frankie decides it’s time to call in your tab, you must do whatever it takes to
pay him back or suffer the consequences. Will you work hard to make an honest
buck, or will the spoils of the criminal underworld be too much to resist?
With over 60 criminal mission
‘templates’ and an almost infinite number of mission possibilities, how you
stump up the cash is entirely up to you. In addition there are 12 readily
available minor jobs such as taxi driving, pizza delivery and bus driving, plus
eight frenzied bonus tasks. The game never gets old!
Don’t dwell on it too much however,
because if you miss just one of your $50,000-a-week payments, you wont just be
fighting to repay your debt, you’ll be fighting for your life. With a superb
real-time mission format incorporating an accurate day/night cycle, players will
literally race against the clock to make debt payments on time.
Using an accessible virtual d-pad
system, Car Jack Streets boasts superb pick up and play value, with short
missions perfect for burst play while on the move. Players can get to grips with
larger than life weapons, wade into the explosive, over-the-top action and steal
a slew of vehicles to tear around the city in, complete with in-car radio
stations.
Setting the tone of this mayhem is
an unrivalled 80-minute soundtrack from some of the hottest unsigned artists
today. The track list, spanning a diverse range of genres including country,
dance, hip hop and indie, features up and coming artists Laurelyn Carter, Atom
Da Immortal, The Snowbyrds and Red Shirt Theory. Found a song in the game you
really like? – no problem. Each track can be downloaded directly from the game
via the Apple iTunes Store using the device’s wi-fi connectivity.
