Car Jack Streets is a new mobile game that will certainly find its audience among the Grand Theft Auto fans. As you’re probably figuring out, it’s you job to complete various criminal missions, while shooting people around, hijacking vehicles and driving them around the city — all with an idea to clear your $1 million gambling debt. This will involve missions ranging from pizza delivery and taxi driving to killing people.

As for the vehicle choice, there’s a decent selection of cars which all handle differently. In addition, you will be able to pick various weapons along the way to help battle through the missions.

Like the original GTA, Car Jack Streets uses a top-down viewpoint, which certainly uses less processing power than the 3G engine of the latest GTA title, and is hence more suitable for the mobile phone.

Before you go “how could they steal the idea from the GTA crew,” let me add that two of the founders of TAG Games (the company behind Car Jack Streets) were on the original GTA development team at DMA Design…

I-play is the publisher and they wowed to bring the game out just in time for Christmas.
