      Hi all,

      I have a serious problem. There are two apps, Driver and Chinatown Wars, that look incredible. But I can only afford one.

      Which should it be? And why? Can people give reasons for/against either of them, preferably if you have both.

      thanks

      Adam2525.

      P.S. I read in the rules it said no shill accounts. I'm pretty sure this isn't one, since it's just me lookin at the forums, but can some one explain what that means? Thanks.

      Chinatown Wars is longer and a wide variety of mission and extra features. Driver has far superior graphics however on the other hand it is more difficult and all missions are driving missions.

      Chinatown Wars is a lot of fun and will last a lot longer.

      A shill account is when a member makes a second account.

      Very serious problem indeed ;). Also, you said that you could only afford one game...GTA is 10 bucks while Driver is 5.

      Get GTA Chinatown Wars, it lasts longer and it also has free roam (you can go anywhere whenever you want),
      Driver also has free roam but GTA Chinatown Wars is way more entertaining

      GTA CW > Driver
      I found Driver really boaring!
      And I've been playing GTA since Monday and am only at about 50%! :)

      Driver has outdated, antiquated, frustrating controls and gameplay.

      Get Chinatown Wars or GTFO.

      Thanks everyone.

      I think it looks like it's got to be chinatown.

      Tzual      : That's a good point, If i did go for driver I would be able to afford some other apps, maybe some DLC. But I think app quality is what I'm after here.

      SpaceJunk: I don't know what GTFO is :confused: but i was pretty sure it was gonna be between GTA and Driver.

      GTA it is :).

      Fix'd. Way too plain-looking to compete.

      GTA CTW. No questions asked. According to my play time meter (though it may be off due to my iPod being asleep with the app not paused), I've played 18 hours and 24 minutes. More like 13 hours. But I got it two days ago, and I'm only 18.13% done. The game is AMAZING.

      GTA of course ;)
      i really like the graphics of Driver but the gameplay is too old
      but maybe in the future we'll see GTA:CHinatown Wars with Driver's graphics on our iDevices :D

      It really depends on what your looking for, Driver is the best driving game of any kind in the app store imo, but GTA is a very well round game, long too.

      Driver has a lot better driving controls and smoother graphics, plus free roam for just 5 bucks.

      GTA Chinatown, however, has a more open free-roam and it's not just driving. So depends if you just want to cause mayhem on the streets and speed like a maniac or go around blowing up stuff in a huge city.

      GTA because there are lots of things to do in the game. Driver gets boring after the first few missions, because they're all essentially the same.

      Definitely Chinatown Wars. I bought Driver all excited, played like 10 missions and never touched it again. One day I may finish it but it just lacks the same appeal as CW. And hell, both have their fare share of crappy driving missions. CW's are just less crappy.
