Have you guys played any of the Grand Theft Auto titles on your phone? Are they as good as playing them on the console. I did play Grand Theft Auto 3 on my old Samsung phone and surprisingly it was quite good. I had no problems with lag and the gameplay was smooth. The only annoying thing I would say about it is the controls are a lot more limited and you can't do any of the cheats that you could do with the console controller
It depends on what phone you are using, and the ram management of your device...overall it's quite decent.
I never have played these games on a android smartphone -but I have been reading about it and you can even chromecast the game on your TV from the phone which would be quite interesting to make the game much bigger. Also with PS3 or PS4 the controllers can hook up via bluetooth on many android phones with just a free app.
I don't think you can compare the story line and game play of GTA on pc or consoles to mobile phone cause imo they are far more different.
